The only thing that bugs me about the movie version is that Tristan's switch from farmer boy to total badass feels too abrupt to me. Other than that, it's a rare adaptation that's probably as good as the source novel even while being fairly different.

I read American Gods, oh probably ten years ago or more and didn't really care for it, but I started re-reading it because the show looks good and I'm enjoying it a lot more. I don't know if I just wasn't ready for it at the time, or if kind of half-remembering what happens is allowing me to enjoy the setup more, but…

Gross Man Writes Gross Book

"…had Moore turning both Mr. Hyde and the Invisible Man into murderous rapists…"

I've been at work all day even though I didn't really want to- maybe the movie is about me, the real American hero??

Jones admitted to smoking marijuana occasionally, “to monitor its strength, which is how law enforcement does it.”

To be fair, it was always kind of a body horror series. I can totally sympathize if people don't like 4, but I've always been a fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and it was fun to me to see his sensibilities crammed into an American horror/blockbuster. It completely falls apart by the end, but I enjoy the ride.

Oh we did, they just didn't dress that way. It's the city that Dani conquers and fails badly at ruling for a while.

I just like that Hugo Drax flies around space in a late-'70s version of the Iron Vulture from TaleSpin.

Too reminiscent of Kananga's balloon-death from Live and Let Die.

Hahaha the evil plot of A View to a Kill might be my favorite plot ever, because it's completely self-destructive and unintentionally makes Walken's character look like a fucking moron. His plan is to blow up Silicon Valley in order to monopolize the microchip industry, except…Silicon Valley is where microchips are use…

I'll definitely agree that it's absolutely gorgeous, but the story is just too full of nonsense for me to really enjoy it. The fact that Shaw rips an entire alien being out of her own torso and then never bothers to actually tell anyone about it, and nobody inquires as to why she's subsequently stumbling around…

That kind of depends on your definition of "worse". I think both 3 and 4 are strong movies in their own rights and are clear visions of auteur directors. They're also each distinctly different from the preceding two films in the same way the second one was different from the first. Your milage may vary on how much you…

It was the '80s, everyone was blasted out of their gourds on coke.

From Russia With Love is both a stone-cold motherfucking classic and a movie that could really be remade in a cool way. The biggest thing you'd lose would be Robert Shaw's no-question best henchman ever. It's maybe my favorite Bond for his performance alone. The train fight, man, the train fight!

Ok, but did you know that the gun shoots Death and purifies the Earth of the filth of brutals?

Yes, and he's working for Robert Davi! Many people grew up thinking of Robert Davi as one of the bumbling thugs from The Goonies, but due to my mom's love of Bond flicks, to me he was always the guy who gets covered in gasoline and gruesomely burned to death.

His cameo cracks me up, because he's just a bumbling idiot who gets almost immediately murdered. It seems like a commentary on his other appearances in his movies. I appreciate his willingness to make himself look bad in his movies.

It also taught us that THE PENIS IS EVIL!
