You're an ass

I would like to point out that Carpenter's thing is a remake.  And a massively better one than the original.

I'm with eclectic eel, my love for Sweeney Todd not withstanding, that shit gets on my nerves.

In general I agree with you.  But I think I would more specifically say that musical theater is what I hate.  Not musicals themselves.  Singin In The Rain is one of the best movies ever because it is first and foremost A MOVIE.  It's that shit that just tries to be a broadway experience on the big screen and it's 4…

Seeing her face reminds me of an era of movies that is gone.  I don't know why, but it does.  RIP

Hell yes.

True dat.  I'm also a very firm believer in Tropic Thunder.  If every satire were rated R and as committed as that one there would be a lot more great satires these days.  I realize that isn't a very profound statement.

Yeah I was prepared to hate this before I saw the trailer last night.  But I couldn't have been more surprised.  I'm always happy to see comedians not being funny on purpose.

Needs more from the Walken sketches.  Just saying normal regular things that aren't jokes makes people break when they're from Walken.  And when he breaks, which isn't that often, he has this kind of sheepish grin, like he's embarrassed for being so unprofessional, but he is just having so much damned fun.

I say this all the time and have met only one other person that knows what I'm talking about.  Because I showed him this episode.  So yeah, I'm a pariah.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.  But the best surprise comes if you sit through the whole damn credits.  There's no extra scene but there is… a rap about kaiju by none other than The RZA.  Holy shit!!!!

Amen to all of it.  I hold Lau in nearly the same regard as I do Kurosawa.  Lau's films are foremost amazing action movies, but they have a similar sense of humanism and emphasis on characters as Kurosawa's.  And the Liu/Lau actor/director team is damn near as important to this movie watcher as Mifune/Kurosawa.  

Plus Anita Mui.  Fuckin cancer takes everyone we love.

I'm really glad to see all the love for Heroes Of The East on here.  I've never met a person who's seen it that I didn't show it to.

Have you seen Shaolin Mantis?  That movie sticks the knife and twists it, emotionally.  Then it pulls it out at the end, just in case you forgot that you had been stabbed.

Master Lau deserves to be mentioned with the great filmmakers of every genre.  His movies hold up better than any of his contemporaries and weren't just about martial arts.  If he made a movie without decent to great character development then I haven't seen it and I've seen a lot of his movies.  Chang Cheh was…

Do you mean that he was a monster who mercilessly killed a bunch of people in the mistaken belief that they were inferior and without any sort of consciousness?  Because as far as I can tell that was the case.  In a good way.

Screw that.  As much as I like Hackman and Pacino, Gandolfini was one of those actors that I would watch terrible movies just to see.  Other actors that belong in this pantheon are Chris Walken and Michael Shannon.  Every time I saw him on screen for the first time in a movie I would be instantly happy.  He didn't…

Don't forget the new Rolling Thunder blu-ray from Shout Factory!

The thing about Kael that kept me from loving her was her occasional negative review that just made no sense.  She hated "Badlands" somehow and I will never get that.  I'm fine with a critic who doesn't agree with me, as Roger and I often did, but unlike Roger Kael wrote about movies she didn't like with such contempt.
