I think Moore deserves a huge amount of credit for his accomplishments: forging a successful filmmaking career on his own terms, helping to popularize the documentary form, inspiring a generation of politically-minded filmmakers, being an unapologetically progressive voice in the age of Dubya, etc. But the thing is,…

Well if you ask me, the one thing I hope to see in these new episodes is Logan! Much more Logan! If there was one thing the show didn't have enough of before, it was Logan! Needs more Logan, I always say! Logan Logan Logan Logan Logan! No one ever gets tired of Logan!

Amen icy cinema.

I think that if nothing else, Trump (or, more appropriately, Trumpism) has exposed some of the darkest elements of the American right. The racism, the sexism, the patriarchal authoritarianism in lieu of concern for the Constitution or human rights - these things were always a part of the GOP (or the modern, post-Nixon…

Pretty much everything Trump accuses others of doing is stuff he's done himself, right on up to "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists." At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Trump's birth certificate showed that he was born in Kenya.

Yeah, I had never actually watched Access Hollywood, so my knowledge of Billy Bush's identity begins and ends with "that douchebag who chortled while Trump bragged about assaulting women."

You know, I gotta say the sentiment that Jeb(!) expressed before the infamous "Please clap" line is one that I actually really agree with: he was saying that the next president should be more of a serious, quiet listener rather than a boisterous blowhard. I do have some empathy for Jeb(!) overall - he's a…

OK, I'm gonna take a moment to be a straight guy talkin' about hot chicks, here (you've been warned): I definitely think that here in the U.S. there's an accepted beauty standard that's based in tall, thin, blonde, white women with somewhat angular features, and this standard is associated specifically with power and…

Oh I agree, I'm just saying it throws me off to see the cutesy-pie merch and then start thinking about mortality; it'd be a bit like if they made plush dolls of the women in Bergman's Persona.

I maintain that My Neighbor Totoro is actually a really dark, mournful film and it's weird to see so much cute merchandise made using its imagery.

I keep thinking about this famous tweet from Dan Hodges, from June 2015:

Oh come now, you just have to combine some of her song lyrics with something topical or relevant. Like this: Freedom's just another word for… Jackie Jormp-Jomp… Ah fuck nevermind.

OK, I don't normally read celebrity gossip blogs, but after seeing American Honey (which is a very fine film, if you ask me, and LaBeouf is actually quite good in it) I was Googlin' and I saw that LaBeouf and the film's lead - Sasha Lane - had become a real-life couple and had moved-in together and everything. So, for…

It says something about Alien that even the opening credits are considered a masterpiece of the form.

The director's cut is preachy but I also kinda dig it.

OK, now I've actually seen the film (it's very good), and I think that the name makes perfect sense - it's very much a movie about America.

Soo… Did you like the movie?

Ugghh Fur. Let's all just take a minute to think about how bad that movie was.

Voilà! the Orient!

Rock with you, girl? All night? One local man says he wants to. A NewsChannel special report.
