I'm one who always despised cigarettes - I won't get within ten feet of someone who's smoking. I don't care whether it's killing the user or not, at least vaping isn't hurting me, even with its stench. I wholeheartedly approve of the practice.

I don't know about that version exactly, but the last time I played it on a console it was multiple choice.

I recently read Patricia Highsmith's Strangers on a Train, and the Hitchcock movie improves on it in every way.

I've heard the argument that the lover defenestration is good evidence for Gibson's homophobia many times. I think it's a bit silly - I mean, the dude is a mustache-twirling villain and, yes, it's amusing the way he kills the dude, but I don't think people in the theater were laughing 'cause the dude was gay. Eh,

Agreed. At worst, a viewer will think it's true and be misinformed on a piece of obscure history that doesn't really matter anyway. At best, they'll get excited about history and read up on the real event (because everyone who's not a moron knows that historical movies are mostly bullshit anyway).

But he wanted hotels on the moon, and that's just silly.

I really enjoyed the terribleness of Battlefield Earth the one time I watched it.

I only finally caught up with Basic Instinct a few years back. It's not much better than Showgirls, honestly.

But he was a totally outrageous paradigm!

I have to admit it's a big guilty pleasure for me. Around the time it came out, I was getting dragged to country bars once in a while (because several members of my family were huge into line dancing competition - can we expunge that shit from my memories?), and I liked to play that song on the jukebox because it

They filmed some of Road Rules at a racetrack I was at one night. They filmed my brother talking to some of the contestants (were they contestants? I don't even know if I ever watched the show), and I think, at least he told me 'cause I never watched it, that he was visible in a shot.

Dear God came out in 1996, so it doesn't warrant a mention here!

I remember the video store had a big label on it that said "NOT A CARTOON. FOR ADULTS ONLY!" because it had a drawing of the characters on it. I saw the film in the theater. I quite like it, and it never even got a proper DVD release (I own the DVD, but it's not anamorphic; I'd love to see Criterion get a hold of it,

No way, man, it was a film of female empowerment!

I've been to Jordan before! Pretty area around there.

It was bringing to light the plague of invisible rapists.

Eh, some of those work and some of them don't. Sure, Showgirls was probably MEANT to be a satire, but it's a failure. It's just All About Eve with strippers.

I remember it sucking, but I bought it for like $3 on Blu Ray at one point. I haven't been brave enough to rewatch it since.

But it lost its charm after the monkey left, so to cancel it in 1995 would be fine.
