I was telling my mom while waiting for the clue that I hoped the FJ wouldn't be about the Cesars because I don't know French cinema.

Happy Almost Independence Day all! I might be busy for a while, so in case I don't see ya, today's Debate Club asks: What do you think is the most patriotic movie ever made? (If you're not American, you can pick a movie from your country instead).

I've actually thought about how a Roald Dahl spy movie would work!

You're a very wise internet commenter.

It'll be the classiest arrest you've ever seen. The handcuffs are gonna be yuuuuuuuuuge.

Would they have accepted "What is Under the Skin as a response?"

I don't like the script, the music and I hate how it softens a lot of the book's edges. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I just gotta be me.

I say we shake down the Make-a-Wish foundation until they promise to only grant wishes for liberal kids.

I know it's silly to take issue with the science in these movies when in the real world Marlin would become a woman and mate with Nemo, but still.

Hello and welcome to Debate Club, where we have silly pop-culture discussions and yell at one another for no good reason!

That's on the list, I believe.

Ha! No, I got a lot of input from the A.V. Club, so it's real varied.

2005 has that "Willy Wonka" song!
NO EXCUSE!

I'm planning on watching a shit ton of Japanese movies to make up for the fact that I've seen approximately five of them.

"Deep Anal Abyss" is redundant. I can't believe they made two movies with such an obvious blunder.

I think Burton's is a worse movie and adaptation. It gets more right on paper, sure, but the tone is all off, and Johnny Depp's Wonka is wrong on just about every level.
