I see you've played sacrificey-resurrectey before…

The fest has gone downhill by all indication. They used to make a point about original exhibition format, which usually included a 70mm print, but lately they've been pretty much digital. I haven't been back since 2010, and I doubt I will go back now that Roger is dead. But damn those were some fine times at that…

I'm a Kansas boy by origin, but I spent three years at SIU Carbondale as a grad student, back in the heady pre-recession days of Aught 6- Aught 9. The highlights were my annual trips to Ebertfest in Champaign-Urbana. That fest right there was pure, uncut, mainlined cinema.

PTA. I rest my case.

Damn I guess I underestimated the number of Billy Eichner fans here at the AVClub. I thought I knew you people.

Fucking Kerasotes.

Oh if only it were that easy…I'd have already sacrificed Michael Bay for Robert Altman.

I could see a DFW inspired movie making a lot of his style by the use of seamless branching technology on the disc.

Footnote to the article: The AVClub frequently is known for posting these sorts of articles with a thinly veiled thought ultimately just snark at the mad absurdity of the kinds of choices being made in the creation of entertainment, which no doubt adds to the overall oppressive, almost totalitarian experience I had…

At least, until the dementia sets in and your caregivers start making you sign blank canvases…

Though I will say, when she's a few years older Chloe Grace Moretz would make for an awesome Debbie Harry, should they make another attempt to do CBGB…Malin Akerman my ass.

I enjoy hearing the V/O talent for the trailers and promos struggling to say "smaug" just right.

Because vague physical resemblance between actor and real life person = perfect casting.

Look, I'll make no bones about it. I think Morris is one of the finest filmmakers we've got, and that goes for fiction and non. He's a welcome antidote to the wave of visually uninspired docs I see on Independent Lens year after year. I suspect a lot of filmmakers regard documentary as an easy route, they just…

I've never heard of Billy Eichner until I saw his appearance on Kimmel last night, in a couple of minutes I was convinced that 1) He's an awful person and 2) He's got a lousy schtick. Confront stranger on the street. Make them into a performing monkey. Berate loudly for the audience at home's amusement when the…

I guess they should've cut that musical number where Disney sings about how the Jews control all media…

That divorce pretty much ruined Will Arnett for me. I mean, he plays so many smarmy assholes on TV and in the movies, it got me to thinking that ANYONE who'd divorce someone like Amy Poehler has to be a smarmy asshole in real life, right?

If nothing else, Revenge of the Nerds will forever hold a special place in memory, as the first time I saw boobs.

Aw, that's too easy. Can't it at least be, say, chemical castration by way of anal suppository?
