I love DKR, but hate The Killing Joke. Admittedly, two different writers. But while DKR (for me) tells an interesting story, Killing Joke seems to just exist to amp up the horror and violence of a standard Batman comic. Also, it cemented the whole "Batman and The Joker are two sides of the same coin" thing, which…

It's funny, but I actually really like Inglorious Basterds. I didn't get much from the Kill Bill movies other than that the action was super cool (to be fair, there's not much else to them besides the action), I never liked Jackie Brown, never saw Death Proof. For whatever reason Basterds clicked with me.

The Beatles are another one of those things where the fans are more of the problem. The music is fine, I like the music. But the fans. They're just relentless. I can't actually listen to the music without remembering how important it is, and everyone that's ever attempted to pass The Beatles down to me like sacred…

Oh yeah. It also allowed John Travolta to have a comeback. Now I have another reason to dislike it.

I like Robin Williams in a lot of things, but yeah, I can't deal with his standup either. He did the same bits over and over again. You could turn on any of his specials and probably catch the same impression.

Here goes:

The Artist is a great example of why the Academy desperately needs to void its ranks of all the dusty, ancient members who look back at "the Golden Age" with a misty eye and cast their votes for ridiculous shit like this.

Wow, I had practically forgotten that Death to Smoochy even existed. It combines two of my least favorite things in one movie: "edgy" Robin Williams and Edward Norton.

I like Kid A, and I read Pitchfork, but yeah. They've toned it down a lot since the heady days of the early 2000s.

I don't know if it qualifies for the category, but I fell asleep during it. In the theater. Which I have never done before or since. So yeah, seconded.

I was forced to read it in high school, which I feel had less to do with it being appropriate for our age group, and more of a personal mission by our teacher to spread the book around.

I can see what you mean. But what a lot of people seemed to take from it was the stuff that was right on the surface, like the music and the cultural references. Ask most people what they remember fondly about it and they probably don't mention how Jenny had to perform her music naked. But they'll talk your ear off…

I can't agree with you more about Forrest Gump. Besides it just being deeply, deeply trite, it indulges in ridiculous amounts of 60s nostalgia, which is something else that just drives me crazy. Baby boomers who like to sit around and pass down the wisdom of how music was perfected in 1967 and everything's been…

I'm sure it's been brought up already (there are dozens of us!) but Tree of Life. I have never seen so many reasonably sensible people whose taste I generally respect rhapsodize about something so nothing. Yeah, it's beautiful to look at, but it just makes me so angry that Malick couldn't pair his incredible visuals…

And here comes the sadness again.

It wasn't great. The season has been really hurt by having so many contestants medically evacuated. This episode would have worked better as part one of a longer, possibly 2-hour, episode, with a real elimination at the end, but they just ran out of contestants, so we were left with this.

Everything about this movie reminds me of something I would have rented on VHS from my local "artsy" video store in the late-90s and watched late at night after my parents went to sleep. And I love it.

Pretty much what I think, too. It was just confusing because suddenly Joe had all kinds of problems and they didn't do a great job connecting it all back to the Beef of Doom.

Longtime Stillman fan (Stillfan? I'm going with it) so I'm in for this, even if Damsels in Distress left me, well, fairly distressed. The Amazon pilot was much better, but, you know, short.

I'm not a doctor, so can someone explain exactly what happened to Joe? He's in his early 70s, so he has an enlarged prostate, which can prevent urination. But what does that have to do with the beef? Like, he ate too much beef, had some, you know, digestive issues, and that somehow dovetailed with his preexisting…
