Heh, it does actually technically cover the AvP films, though it only gives them about the attention they're worth. (Ignores all non-film properties, though.)

I would love to have an edit of Prometheus which just omits all spoken dialogue. The movie was fantastic from a purely visual and sound-design perspective, it just got atrocious when any character opened their damn mouths.

I think my favorite of those stories is them getting grounded for the rest of the summer after their parents found out about setting one of the kids on fire in the basement for the bar-burning-down scene. (The kid was fine, they had a fireproof suit for it, etc.)

On the plus side, it DID put them in a position where they were able to convince a classmate to do that sequence where Mr. Badguy watches Ms. Loveinterest (sorry, I am bad with names) change her dress in the mirror, when she's being held captive at the dig site. So, you know, not exactly a loss on that front.

Apparently they'd found an old truck/jeep/whatever basically sunk in a swamp behind one of their houses, and were able to get it out and use that for those scenes. The thing didn't actually have a motor, so thankfully it was only moving as fast as a bunch of kids could physically haul it. It WAS, apparently,…

Saw this at the Wisconsin Film Fest a little while ago and, I dunno… it mostly didn't really end up doing much for me. It was certainly interesting, but I suspect I wasn't really in its target market - if you're already pretty "plugged in" and aware of many of the Bigger Issues related to our increasing reliance on…

I saw Big Trouble for the first time a year or two ago and loved it. That kind of movie is just so singular - it's weird in a very different way than most "weird" movies are. Very much a product of its time. (I have similar thoughts about Buckaroo Banzai, another one I saw for the first time pretty recently.)

I am far from a canonical source for this, but I believe that dudes could indeed be witches. The percentages were generally skewed towards women, except for a few places where the percentages were skewed in the opposite direction for some reason.

There's really not much in the video to be appalled about, really. I was glad that Radiohead showed some restraint and made the video rather subdued rather than going for the obvious blood-and-gore or whatever that they could have done. ("Oh, what an extreme claymation! How shocking!")

The whole working-the-name-of-the-thing-into-the-article-title was vaguely cute when it was done sparingly, but it seems practically every article is doing it nowadays. Give it some breathing room, avclub!

Yeah, I'd no idea either. I haven't watched this in quite awhile, but still consider it one of my favorite movies.

Heh, I was wondering if anyone had linked that yet. Good stuff from Nat!

Yeah, indeed - as I say, I'm always of two minds. You're right that "Bryan Adams Proceeds With Concert Under Duress" doesn't really have the same ring to it. :)

I'm always of two minds about decisions like this. Like, sure, you're denying the state whatever money they'd make from your concert (via taxes or whatever), some of which would certainly be going into the coffers of the assholes who enact hateful laws. But you might also be just making life more sucky for other…

"I don't kill people, I just leave them with massive brain trauma which could leave them crippled for life!"

Shush, you.

Does anyone else besides me despise the blatant marketing ploy which is the "red band trailer?" Whenever I see that I just assume that some executive somewhere is like, "oh, let's release a RED BAND TRAILER so this seems totally hardcore and EDGY and we'll get millenials to see it!" Like the phrase is used as some…

"Words! Who's got time to read and transcribe 'em?"

Yeah, I prefer Centipede Hz to MPP as well - I actually didn't even know that Hz wasn't thought of so well. MPP was good but it never really landed for me, for the most part (aside from a few tracks), something about it was just too clean-sounding. The messiness of Hz was really welcome for me.

And they made fun of me for keeping a pair of anaglyphic 3D glasses at the ready on my desk! NOW who's laughing, huh?
