My son is a few months younger, and he loved "Forbidden Planet" when I screened it for him last week. I still think he's too young to be exposed to the violence and intensity of the Star Wars movies. Likewise for most of the superheroes (I made an exception with the Sam Raimi Spider-man movies and the Richard Donner…

That's just the website. That sort of material never makes it to print. The magazine is much more selective with its content (as it would have to be).

Yes, Rayma. Thunderball Fists!

"Hey everybody, we're all gonna get laid!"

weird and funky, yes, but not what I would call evocative or scary.

But the Suspiria soundtrack is so radically different from anything else Goblin did, even. One of the tracks sounds like little more than someone howling, while beating the shit out of some pots and pans with a hammer and going through a spring reverb. It's scary enough by itself, and its use in the movie elevates…

I haven't revisited any of his movies in two decades, but always thought Human Tornado was the funniest and best-paced. Avenging Disco Godfather is his most serious movie, with no (intentional) humor that I can remember.

Sometimes there's too many drums in the kit. Sure you can surround yourself with them on all sides, and spin on your chair to access them, but then you'd be turning your back to the audience. So if you have a lot of money, like Neal Pert of Rush, you have a rotating drum riser built.

I love that line too! Total upstate New Yorker punk kid. Really brings me back. I quote it often.

I read that book, and fondly remember his critique of Forrest Gump. His general thesis was that Forrest was a guy who did what was expected of him his whole life, and became an inadvertent success because America. Meanwhile, the girl he loved became a hippie who protested the war, had fun, and
stood up for what she…

Or his starring role in Sam Raimi's "Crimewave", a flawed but still underrated movie.

I don't know if Troma has produced a good film since Toxic Avenger or Class of Nuke 'em High. But they've picked up and distributed some independently produced oddball gems, like "Student Confidential".

It is pretty odd that Splash Mountain is adapted from the one animated feature that Disney would like to wipe from the face of the earth.

I took my kid last month and about 1/3 of the park was closed for stupid Star Wars Land, which won't open for another one and a half years. Until then, they've converted Tomorrowland into a temporary Star Wars land. I think it sucks.
My friend who works for Disney says ToonTown will closing soon, since it's too focused…

What else is in the Teaches of Pieces?
- a prominent role by my favorite guy, Paul L. Smith (best known as Bluto from Altman's Popeye movie, as well as the randy jailer in Midnight Express)
- a cameo by Bruce Le (sic), a Bruce Lee imitator who was making Kung Fu movies with the same crew at the same time, so they put…

The ending of Sleepaway Camp disturbed me so much as a teenager that I nearly vomited. Now I can't go more than six months without re-watching the whole movie. It's a comedy classic.

Too bad crayons are only sold in multi-packs. My coprophagia coloring book demands one color exponentially over the others.

There's no doubt the Chuck Traynor was an awful boyfriend/manager, and used to slap Linda around in private. But to believe her claim that she was doing these movies at gunpoint is absurd. A whole crew of production guys and seasoned actors, all being totally fine with rape?

The actress who played Cary Grant's mother in "North by Northwest" was younger than him.
