I KNEW ZMF was a gemini!

jiminy, (wow this is a long fucking thread) I see what you're saying. I suppose it depends what you feel counter-culture is counter TO. If it's counter to mainstream, then you can make a pretty good argument for the Amish, but I think of counter-culture as being counter-authoritarian as well and (even better) counter…

What about Watership Down?
Ok, it's not about a single animal who dies tragically, and so perhaps isn't a snuff piece (or at least not primarily one like Old Yeller and Redfern in which the violent deaths are the point of the story), but Watership Down IS about especially adorable, fluffy, animals, many of who die,…

Rabin, I echo your SNL preferences as well as feelings for Belushi/Farley (except for perhaps shamefully buying into Belushi's anti-The Man image more than you), but I can't say I buy your conclusion that this biography actually provides a "valuable service." The book comes off more like a literary Big Ass Burger,…

Damn you, Rowan, you got their first. Wherefore art thou, Mary Magnum?

The film would begin with a shot of Waldo, dead, wearing a tutu and a Tammy Faye-style makeup job, hanging from his ceiling, the evidence from his final act of pleasure splattered across his great-grandmother's full-length antique…

Thirded.

Soft-core, you took the words right out of my anus.

"greeted with the strongest critical and commercial crop in recent memory"
I seem to recall that article also being greeted by a slew of comments ranting against the pessimistic attitude. This year, though, such pessimism seems if not warranted then at least understandable.

Would you like to take a survey?

Clone High
When Ted does his naked lady laugh at the abstract "nude," it's a total Sigmund-Freud-getting-Joan's-student-film moment from Clone High. Loved it.

Dis agree, Under_scoring, Alyson Hannigan is one hot pregnant bitch.

He seems to be doing both jobs simultaneously and at a fair pace.

It's called "Realistic Pessimism." Lots of minority groups get it. Actually, I think Midwesterners get it too, we just cover it with meatballs and sauerkraut and a decent beer and pretend we're eating happiness.

First off, Matt Frewer is awesome.
Rasmussen, my favorite time-traveling con man.

@Tommy: So, someone else goes to Battlestar Wiki.

I mean "mentioned." Fuck, how the hell did I do that? Did I have an aneurysm while typing that one word?
