Glad you mentioned Cusack.

I went to school in Austin, Texas, where Linklater is spoken about as a local legend, as you can imagine. Also, a movie like "Slacker" is a lot of fun to watch for someone familiar with Austin. It's not like too many movies are made there, and to see these oddball, colorful characters trotting around familiar…

My hipper-than-me friends will scoff when I talk about "School of Rock" as being one of the best comedies of the aughts with a straight-face. Their loss. That movie is magical.

Dominant male monkey motherfucker!

An absurd question.

It definitely seems to be the case, as of late. And I can't begin to tell you how okay I am with that.

Hell, I went to the opening night of The Mummy Returns only to see the further adventures of ass-kicking Brendan Fraser. The JP3 trailer was just a nice surprise.

You know, it's okay not to talk.

It's five-o-clock somewhere, huh, Vick?

I suppose it's just a matter of taste.

"I'm not a bad guy! I work hard and I love my kids! So why should I spend half of my Sunday hearing about how I'm going to hell?"

I've heard nothing but terrific things about Slings and Arrows. Does is live up to all of this word-of-mouth hype, Mr. Miller?

Your Star Wars theory is right on the money, and it doesn't only apply to Star Wars. Thankfully, I first saw the trilogy when I was ten, so I never had any trouble. However, and I'm sorry to say this, I didn't see Raiders of the Lost Ark until I was 20, and although I didn't hate it, I could definitely recognize the…
