I was really disappointed when Dillahunt didn't come back in season 3—I had an idea that he would play a new kind of villain each season, and that the progression from one to the next would somehow mirror the development of the town. I guess Hearst was all the villain season 3 had room for.

Your restraint will pay dividends some day, Scurrilous Lies, and you'll be laughing all the way to the bank at we fools who opened our Super Mario Bros. trading cards.

I know it's an underdog, but having spent more time on it than any other video game I humbly submit Final Fantasy Tactics.

I'm going to assume
that somebody was intending for this box to be discovered 100 years from now by unsuspecting children, who would then be forced to finish the game before Syracuse could be free of the supernatural rampage of promiscuous middle-aged fashionistas it had unleashed.

I was referring to the shot where the narrator's arm, turning the pages, is replaced with a hairy-monster-arm.

my only real problem with Rosemary's Baby is that the rape/nightmare scene involves an extremely goofy B-movie devil costume. when a rape scene, in a horror movie, reminds you of Monty Python and the Holy Grail you know something's gone pretty far wrong.

Joss Whedon already made his version of Star Trek—you may have been confused by the fact that the Federation were the bad guys.

When I heard about the Watchmen movie, I thought "well, at least 'Desolation Row' can play over the end credits, so they'll have at least 10 good minutes. It was like one of those horrible wishes-gone-wrong from The Monkey's Paw when I learned about the My Chemical Romance version.

Ah! I somehow read in that statement that You Yourself had awarded the C-, perhaps in certitude that a vast ocean of dreck you had scrupulously avoided justified its relative buoyancy. I seen now that Mr. Tobias was to blame.

I'm happy to accept
the curved distribution of letter grades—"Crank 2" can keep its A-. But on what kind of curve does "one of the worst movies I've ever seen" get a C- ? It's not one of Poisson's, is all I'm saying.

I had a piece of wood in my hand, Maxine. I don't have it any more. Where is it? Did it disappear? How could that be? Is it still in Malkovich's head? I don't know! Do you see what a metaphysical can of worms this portal is? I don't see how I could go on living my life the way I've lived it before.

@Rigby—
Now that you mention it, the possibility of two stones representing "Light" and "Dark" being conjured Ex Nihilo through the machinations of a circular time loop carries no end of metaphorical heft. I'd tally that one in favor of Jack as Adam, not against it.

You might try checking out some pre-"Musical" musicals—Top Hat/Swing Time/Carfree, Gold Diggers of 1935, Footlight Parade, Night at the Opera/Day at the Races/Horesefeathers/Animal Crackers…essentially just screwball comedies with some songs thrown in, but I prefer them to pretty much any of the big Hollywood

The previously mentioned "Brush Up Your Shakespeare". Other possibilities might be be "Gee Officer Krumpke" (West Side Story), "Sing for your Supper" (Boys from Syracuse), "It Ain't Necessarily So" (Porgy & Bess) "You'll Be A Dentist" (Little Shop of Horrors)….

and Camelot! Dear God, Camelot.

Kiss Me Kate is borderline unwatchable—seems like case of stage actors not adjusting their performances for the screen. Also, it doesn't help that the movie was clearly shot in 3D and people keep throwing things straight at the camera. And they butchered "Brush Up Your Shakespeare", too. But yes, Bob Fosse can
