He might be working at cross purposes; calling an extended diarrhea scene "Cronenbergian" only makes me want to see this movie. Like I hope Cassevetes really Cronenberged it up.

to exact revenge against Kate’s husband in the name of some broad, test-audience-friendly notion of empowerment.

The "Hell" part is a real buzzkill.

As a kid in the 90s, I loved the original Twilight Zone and ventured once to catch a rerun of the 80s revival on TNT. It was some episode where a teacher turned into a monster at night, or there was a monster in the school, I forget which. I was pretty quickly turned off by how the only intention seemed to be making…

So would you posit that clown semen is like wildly potent?

Greg Proops calls this "movie helper," usually when referring to Jeff Goldblum. Ebert had that standing rule that any movie with M. Emmett Walsh or Harry Dean Stanton was automatically worth seeing.

Heh heh always great to see Arli$$ taken down a few pegs.

What's your return policy?

I'm not worried about it; I'm kinda tired to fans pushing creators back into the projects that defined them. I appreciate someone revisiting their work or continuing it, but I'd much rather see what comes next than keep them chained to the same gravy train.

Your website would be a lot easier to navigate without the side-scrolling. It's okay with me.

I'd also lump Samuel L. Jackson in there. There's a sort of willingness to be in anything that makes you immune to critiques of what you choose to be in.

Not to mention his profile is just as large as it was ten years ago. Considering how quick we are to bury someone for a single misstep after a transcendent or award-winning role, Johnny Depp has been the selling point for a lot of bad movies for a while.

I think you hit the nail on the head when it comes to the Depp hate. This article dismisses the backlash as people disliking his popularity and his consistent weirdness, whereas I'm just annoyed with him having become such a known quantity.

I thought the crux of Ichabod Crane was his outsider weirdo status.

For a vegetiaran, Rents, you're a fuckin evil shot.

I'm reading that in Matt Berry's voice. I read everything in Matt Berry's voice.

I'm really late to the game here, but one thing I liked a lot was that once it was revealed that Robert Redford was a bad guy, he didn't go Full Bad Guy. It's so common for the kindly mentor-like figure to start growling and sneering at everything once it's revealed that he has nefarious designs. Redford stayed firm…

That's maybe my only complaint with Silicon Valley; Martin Starr is starting to settle into a very deep groove of "offputting nerd."

The "Snack Dick" line has been in every promo they show before every episode of every show I've watched on HBOGo for the last two months. I am glad to have it behind me.

Right but that comic-strip artist wasn't involved in the season of the show John Witherspoon is referring to. That's what's fishy.
