'300' wasn't even a very good movie. There's a reason the watch-me-kick-the-messenger-into-the-well scene became a meme. Ultra-violent for no particular reason, super homoerotic while pretending not to be, with random nudity and sex, the creepy pedophilic oracles, and cringeworthy disability and race politics. I saw

To me, "Tubthumping" is the weakest song on the album (and it's still a damn good song). The rest of it is pretty much perfect, really.

"A different and unique show that has nothing to do with the original" which was forced on said fans when the original got too popular with female fans (not part of the show's demo, apparently) and was subsequently canceled. I don't hate Teen Titans Go, but I do find its zany, irreverent tone generally grating.

My mom loves "Reba," so I've seen a lot of it. To me, Kyra (Scarlett Pomers) was the best character on the show, besides Reba herself. The rest of them just annoyed me to no end.

"Strike Back," i.e., explosions and gratuitous sex scenes (with lots of nudity) in every episode!

Actors: Idris Elba, Ryan Gosling, Edward Norton, River Phoenix, Bill Murray, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jim Carrey, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Steve Buscemi, Richard Ayoade

A father can be in the home and contributing to his family financially and still be a "deadbeat" dad and/or altogether shitty person…also, that my own abusive stepfather loved this song (and would turn it up every time it would come on the radio) makes me cringe/internally rage every time I have the misfortune to hear

Becca James is so right about Natalie Portman's role in 'Beautiful Girls' being one of her best performances.

The Sgt. Pepper theme songs (title track and reprise) are the weakest parts of that album, albeit pretty fun musically.

I just remembered 'Young Adult.' Turn that one off when Charlize Theron dumps the drink on Elizabeth Reaser at the baby naming ceremony and Patrick Wilson tells Charlize she's pathetic and everyone feels sorry for her. That way you can avoid seeing her have drunken pity sex with Patton Oswalt and/or avoid getting

I generally stop watching 'The Matrix' trilogy after the first film. The other two are objectively decent pieces of filmmaking ('Reloaded' is the better of the two, excluding the big final Neo/Smith fight in the rain in 'Revolutions'), but they veer too far into the 'supernatural messiah/Superman in a trenchcoat'

They seriously made a "haha, you have pubic hair" joke? What's the target demographic for this movie, fourteen-year-old boys?

Robin Williams was born in Chicago, so your shout out could very well apply to him as well. :)

Funny that you mention Ayoade. After I watched 'Skyfall,' I so wanted there to be a Bond film with Elba as Bond and Ayoade as Q.

The Beatles were never a boy band, in the manufactured sense of the phrase. They did put on suits to 'clean up' their teddy boy image after their stints in Hamburg (at the behest of Brian Epstein, which is perhaps one of the best decisions he ever made for them in terms of securing their longevity), but they played
