Wait…
Did I miss the explanation of why you watched this twice? Was it once in theaters and once on DVD to refresh your memory for this article?

Yeah, I didn't mean for my list to be comprehensive, I just wanted to do my joke about Teen Wolf. I love Die Hard.

Yeah, when I posted this I didn't even realize how well it disputes Koski's totally false claim that the movie isn't New York-y. Just another reason to swoon over Karina "Belle of the Film Blogosphere" Longworth. Too bad she lost her job :(

The good: Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Gremlins, Terminator.

Tarantino
I read somewhere that Tarantino's spiel about Top Gun was actually written by Roger Avary, and ganked by QT without credit.

It sucks
that this guy's movies never seem to get released outside New York.

Rejects
Agree with your floated notion, though I think Devil's Rejects comes pretty close to greatness — I fucking love that climactic Peckinpah shootout set to Freebird. One of the coolest scenes in a movie this decade, even if the rest of the film doesn't match it.

High school as best years of your life
No - it's much more of a cliche these days to whine about how high school sucked. Has anyone even used the "best years of our lives" line unironically since Dazed and Confused skewered it? Frankly it would be refreshing if anybody looked back on high school with fondness;…

Thissongwillchangeyourlife
So what inspired this inventory? Is there some song out there right now that's making a comeback?

Karatloz: Yeah, what "Fools" up there said, pretty much. The movie argues against Suvari's inhuman, unfeeling treatment of Rea. And then what does it do but completely reject any kind of humanism by glorifying her death. Gordon wants us to cheer when Suvari dies. How is that better than Suvari leaving Rea to die?…

To me, Stuart Gordon is quintessentially Old Cult Canon. I know he's had a bit of a recent renaissance, but I'll always associated him with the likes of Re-Animator and From Beyond. Haven't seen King of the Ants, but I still think Stuck is extremely problematic.

I think it's a little early to let Stuck into the cult canon. I liked it well enough when it was rolling along as a nasty little B-movie, but the problem is Gordon has these vague ideological pretensions that kinda blow up in his face. The ending is revoltingly hypocritical - maybe the worst hypocrisy I've ever seen…

Actually…
Scott sez: "Who knows whether the studio had anything to do with bringing the Cuisinart into the editing room?"

Yeah, UHF would be ideal for New Cult Canon - it just barely makes the cut chronologically, I think, but Tobias did "They Live" and that was '88, so an '89 movie should be ok.

Thanks
Noel, I checked this album out based on your recommendation in an AVQ&A a couple weeks back, and I was completely blown away - it's so goddamn beautiful. (Their first album, If Children, ain't half bad either.) Thanks so much for banging the drum for this band - I wish they were more well known.

Is Rob Liefeld the Tony Scott of comics?

Nah, Hudson's film is a no-budget, near-plotless 63-minute experiment starring nonprofessional actors. Nothing like prestigious arthouse folks like Lynch or Aronofsky, who often work within the studio system, or studio boutiques, and whose work is generally supported. A contemporary analogue would be closer to to…

Title
Why would the title make you think it was going to be darker? There's nothing inherently dark about the practice of chasing women. It's a pretty standard thing to do. I guess you thought "chaser" was a euphemism for "killer" in this case, but that's a weird mental leap to make.

News?
This really doesn't belong in the news section, given that this cover art has been out there for months.
