The Mummy movies are PG-13 as well, though.

Much as I enjoyed watching Todd get his, Carlo's death is still number one on this very specific, odd and morbid list.

The disturbing scenes where he wears high heels,skips and jumps at the behest of the fucking Nazis were thankfully left out of the cold open of the finale.

The Lalaurie lore is ripe for horror story exploitation, but I don't have much faith in Ryan Murphy doing something effective with it. I figure midway through the season, she'll be revealed to actually be from the future; a future so distant it looped around and became the past. Because time isn't an arrow you see,

I think it's an okay film. Not good, not bad, merely okay. That said, I always liked his little "life is long" speech at the end. It's simple, but it fits the character and moment and mesasge of the film perfectly. I've never seen the original, so I don't know if it's taken from there or not, but either way, that's a

I'm guessing he's referring to the sudden outbreak of a musical during the final moments.

Dude, come on. I'm gonna have to presume you're joking here and dicking with me. But just for anyone else's benefit who cares to read; Mase and the Lox were already signed to Bad Boy before Big died. They were just on the shelf. So of course he got production credit for their debuts; who else was going to?

*Fun with posting in the inexact spot to follow:

You guys aren't SERIOUS serious, right? You're taking the piss and I'm falling for it, right? I mean… right?

Well, Puff's career would have still been fine had Biggie lived. In fact, it would have probably been better, given that the only Bad Boy artist since Big to come within a whiff of his popularity was Mase, who flamed out pretty abruptly. And honestly, Puff hasn't quite engaged NEARLY in as much "Big-sploitation" as he

Based on the link in this article, it apears that commenters on Yahoo! Japan are the same knee-jerk nuts that comment on Yahoo! articles everywhere else.

Can't remember at all. Been bugging me too.

Somewhat similar concept, but much more spare. I remember at the time thinking it could be an interesting, two-man micro-play for some sort of horror theatre anthology. As I think on it, I'm fairly sure I read it over on a now-defunct horror / weird fiction e-zine called "From the Asylum."

I remember reading a short story years ago about a man who approaches a potential client on behalf of an organization that assassinates people simply by wishing death on them. The key to its effectiveness is that the victim has to know that this large group of people is dedicated to wishing horrible things on them,

Senator_Corleone, I wish I could give that comment infinite likes. Even the first time I saw the movie, I found that moment jarring and absurd for exactly the reason you laid out.

It's doing fairly respectable business overseas at least ($110 million to date), which might prove to be its saving grace. If it makes at least as much as Battleship did internationally (which it seems to be on pace to do) it won't be a disaster. It almost certainy won't warrant a sequel either, unless it pulls off a

It does indeed have some strong performances in the mix of all that "doing way too much" plotting.

A bit embarrassed to admit, I was initially taken by Crash when I saw it in theaters. I think, being a black dude who grew up in the south and has had various experiences and a lingering interest in race relations, I was giving the movie benefit of the doubt for at least trying to tackle the topic without being a

All right, I'm on board for at least a few more episodes. The premise is interesting, love the setting, and while Sonya is definitely grating at her worst, there's enough there to build on for me to figure it will eventually get better, or just not be quite as noticeable. Besides that, the cast and characters in

Can't it be both? By virtue of it happening in the championship game, it's the best. By virtue of it being semi-accidental and so sudden and weird that it's hard to tell what the hell just happened—even after watching the replay for the zillionth time—it's pretty much the worst. The only other contender for both best
