I've slowly come to prefer Rifftrax over MST3K.  Crucify if you must, but the fact that the movies are generally better (even the awful VOD selections tend to be more watchable than like 90% of MST's "tapes we found in the back of an abandoned warehouse" library) and they use a lot less obscure references they didn't

It's the "Big Lebowski" of Will Ferrell comedies.  Weirdly unimpressive at first, becomes hilarious on repeat viewing.

CHICKS, HUH? AMIRITE BROS

I've been mostly playing two o' them retro-rock acts: The Devil's Blood semi-demo, semi-album "III," and the second Kadavar album which (of course) is called "Abra Kadavar."  You guys?

This feature has blatantly become "Shit I Inexplicably Like to the Left, Shit I Inexplicably Hate to the Right."

The metal.  It goes here.

Jeez, talk about making the subtext of "Alien" a little bit too literal.

I'm fortunate to still have my dad in good health, but when the day comes, the song that reminds me of him will be "Fire and Rain" (because he was such a big James Taylor fan when I was growing up).  And that's gonna be hard to take - just read the lyrics to that song.  The man's in fine health and I'm already getting

Elizabeth Mitchell is on all the Lost-ish shows that I don't watch: V, Revolution.

No it wasn't.  That's silly.  Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn killed it week after week, and both won Emmys; Henry Ian Cusick was reliably distressed; Elizabeth Mitchell was one of their best late additions and gave her career a minor kickstart as a sci fi/drama leading lady; and most everybody else was at least

I remember enjoying "Planet Terror" more in the theater (which is weird, because I don't really like Rodriguez and love Tarantino).  But in retrospect I remember very little of PT and recall about 90% of "Death Proof" even though I only saw the both of them once in the theater, at the same time.  I guess Tarantino is

The funniest candy bar is clearly the Whatchamacallit.  It's all in the name!

Clearly.

They'll be back in love when Whedon's back in the director's chair.

I liked that Watchman changed the ending, but hated it for being a mediocre-ass movie with dumb and out-of-place action scenes.

You want to know what Harry Knowles thinks?  Just find out which studios gave him the most merch last week.

It doesn't sound sexist; it sounds SEXY.

Yeah, there's really nothing "unfair" about it.  Most of these are mediocre musicians (or non-musicians) whose marginal talent was boosted by matinee-idol good looks, and whose lauded songwriting and "production" credits are manufactured or at least overstated by a lot.  Music fans are correct to assume based on
