My 'Ad hominem' that you shrill so loudly in protest at actually came in the form of a single sentence at the end of a very long paragraph attacking your statement that Rodriguez is "an idiot who got lucky" by pointing out that an idiot wouldn't have been able to parlay the success of 'El Mariachi' into a 20 year

I usually just scroll past comments like these and roll my eyes, but I feel ultra compelled to respond to what I hope is a jest. Robert Rodriguez is an extremely talented, creative, and technically innovative auteur. Does he make 'B' movies? Yes. Is he P.T. Anderson? No. But I think he more than proved he wasn't just

Who cares about what dumpy Dan Harmon thinks about anything besides his fawning lap dog Jeff Davis. I mean c'mon Monster House?? I've seen better film on teeth.

Steel was an inspired summer 'blockbuster' choice for We Hate Movies this week. Lots of great moments, from low grade Oracle to Grandma's Unoriginal Food to taking down the Devil himself with a free throw grenade, and definitely a fun jumping on point for new listeners.

A friend of a friend told me he heard for a fact that Graham weighs 450 pounds

O'Neal really outdid himself with this headline

Does Marv from Sin City qualify? That judge threw the book at him

Bizarre. I'm sorry, but if you hate Mad Men what television do you like?? I get that TV is subjective, but it seems to strain credulity that such an artful show could be 'hated' by anyone even if it just wasn't for them.

They say comedy is subjective, and I suppose your post is a a testament to this truism. It would be interesting to hear what sitcoms you do enjoy to get a better sense of what is in your wheelhouse so to speak. Do you enjoy shows in the vein of Community, or do you abhor consistently hilarious and endlessly quotable

All I'm saying is if James Franco really wants to be avant garde he should team up with these guys and fuck up their shit from the inside by giving a knowingly terrible performance like he did at the Oscars

People give Seltzer and Friedberg a lot of flak, but the truth is this is an exceedingly difficult genre to work wonders in. Both Plump Fiction and Silence of the Hams are far worse than anything they've slapped their names on, for instance. One has to admire them for continually returning to the salt mines, failure

Actually, both Four Christmases and Couples Retreat cracked $100 million

Will Ferrell makes a cameo at the end as his Wedding Crashers "Ma the meatloaf!" character which definitely feels dated and out of place here. Besides the fact that Vaughn and Wilson are playing different characters as the reviewer stated above this is a much tamer film than Crashers was.

Can we get a spoiler space? I want to talk about that surprise cameo at the end

No, it doesn't.

Logical up to a certain extent. They do ask you to swallow Woody Harrelson's character basically being Charles Xavier, and there's a mention of chalking it up to a combination of science and keen observation of body language which is complete bullshit.

"wimpy, pussified Bale-version of Batman"

I'm unsure what to do next. I started reading this article getting the impression the writer disliked the show but some of those episode descriptions sound brilliant. To Netflix or not to netflix?

There are a lot of people on the imdb angry about spike lee. they refer to him as a rabble rouser.

I have to agree, from my perspective it doesn't even seem close, but that could just be because their dickish sense of humor and superior film knowledge is more aligned with my own. I enjoy the Flophouse but c'mon on WHM they obliterate the movies they talk about, grind them down until nothing is left but sawdust,
