Aye, that's aboot right.

Tom would like to invite you out to the red barn and show you what he's building in there.
Shove off, hoser.
Technically, it's the feature film version of an alternate ending to a tv series, but even so my money is on The End of Evangelion.
It's an excellent film I have no doubt, but speaking personally I don't particularly feel the need to see OOS anytime in the near future, whereas if a pal wanted to see Underneath, I would watch it tonight.
Kafka = Soderbergh + Irons + Dobbs + Holm + Martinez = Gold.
I think the review is underselling the film quite a bit; I mean, I enjoyed Out of Sight but can't really remember anything about it. However, the whole 'is that guy a cop or an assassin' hospital scene from The Underneath is so brilliantly nerve-wracking that it has never left my memory. Plus it has William Fichtner,…
I love Kafka, and will defend it to my last breath.
I'm of a fairly anti-authoritarian persuasion but Truman, and Cooper too, of course, and indeed all the lawmen of Twin Peaks, from Andy to Major Briggs and even Albert, seem so genuinely good and noble that at times they border on turning into cartoon superheroes (Coop especially), but still possess such authentic…
I like bushes 'cause they don't have prickers - unless they do; this one did! Ouch!
If there's a better delivery of the word than Ken Marino's interrupting his Kenny Loggins sing-along with a frantic "Oh fuck!" before driving head-on into a tree in Wet Hot American Summer, I don't want to hear it.
Personally, I found the acting in the original to be far and away the superior; here the villain is portrayed in a light of pathos; being pathetic, lonely and disturbed as opposed to cartoonishly psychotic, and the protagonist's moral ambiguity also makes for a far more nuanced, and much less heroic, performance. A…
You are so freakin' talented!
Franju's Eyes Without A Face from 1960 was the first film of this nature, and inspired dozens of similarly-themed (and much more cheaply made) horror films. Eyes was, I believe, quite revolutionary in its use of 'gore', at least for the time, and so the blood and guts element could have proved the catalyst for its…
I've never really been able to get into Franco, but there's a scene in A Virgin Among the Living Dead where the heroine converses with the spirit of her father, suspended in mid-air by a noose, as he leads her through a shadowy forest that is one of the most otherworldly poignant things I've ever seen, like a dream of…
Fire Walk With Me is one of David Lynch's greatest accomplishments, not to mention one of the best movies of the '90's, and should have its praises sung long and loud. Now, if you had mentioned Dune on the other hand. . .
Seconds is one of my all-time favorites, and the ending is one of the best and most intense in 20th century cinema; it captures the helpless paralysis of being trapped in a nightmare and knowing the monster is about to get you, but without the relief of waking up.
Back in high school, I found that same album in the bargain bin of a Pamida in rural North Dakota and bought it on a whim; my two bucks were not wasted.
Eh, think I'll stick with Eat and the New Fast Automatic Daffodils.
I salute your random MST3K reference!
