Thank you, Chartex! I've always thought that plot hole was so large it sucked all three of those movies into its vortex of stupidity. The explanation is the Jedi simply can't "feel" the Sith because they cloud the Force or something like that. But I always thought, "Why do they need to sense the Sith involvement…

Is…
… Harvey Weinstein involved with the US release? Because if so, I'm surprised it hasn't been edited down to 85 minutes and released in 4 theaters. In 2013.

It was released in two parts here in Japan, too…
And students at my school— from teens to the middle-aged— went absolutely nuts for this "Red Cliff" movie. I must've been asked if I'd seen it a dozen times a week while it was in release. But I didn't because it was in Chinese, subtitled in Japanese, which I speak…

That's my favorite example of damning with faint praise so far this year. Of course the others have been directed at me.

I know it makes us "Star Wars" fans feel good to pretend sometimes that "Revenge of the Sith" somehow magically redeemed the prequel trilogy, but all it did was jiggle the handle and finally stop the toilet from running after we flushed the nasties of the previous two films.

I can't really give the "Revenge of the Sith" lightsabre duel any kind of cinematic fight sequence cred because the combatants are CGI mannequins at least 50% of the time. Offering anything but derision for that robotic crapola is like praising two 12-year-olds for being good at making their "Star Wars Legos"…

The Vampire Hell's Angels award their members a special patch for doing what Edward refuses. What a wuss.

Yeah, and I desperately need to know what conceptual couture European heroin addicts are going to sport on the runway that much larger American consumers aren't actually going to wear next season.

Well, I won't swear in a court of law that's exactly what he said, but rituals were mentioned in the context that she should keep in mind the ritualized nature of Tibetan culture while standing half-naked in a field with Jay and Tyra screaming "helpful" hints at her.

Lay off. His hat is marvelous.

The best part of this episode…
… was listening to Tyra and Jay giving these girls direction. Tyra blathering something like, "Think of the Egyptians and all they went through!" And Jay saying, "Tibet is all about rituals. Let's see you do rituals." Hey, I can't quote them exactly from memory and I refuse to watch…

"Stephen King: 'Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn. She's not very good.'"

I bought this two years ago in a Japanese convenience store…
… for the equivalent of 15 bucks. It has the original "downbeat" ending, though. Kind of reminds me of "Planet of the Apes." But baby, was I happy to find this movie here.

Apparently, it's also just me spelling "their" as "thier." With a capital T, no less. God, this feels sooooo good!

With those greedy players and their blood-thirsty agents, the Major League already is vampire baseball. Just kidding. I love Scott Boras.

That's one of those vampire family versus werewolf clan movies, right? I never saw it. But I like to call it "Underwear."

You had to be there to fully appreciate the quote in context. There was a pause, an almost inaudible sigh and a slight shaking of his head followed by a wry smile. THEN he said, "I'm going to try to enjoy it" with stress on the word "try."

Pathetic loosers.

I thought he was sweating. I know in Bram Stoker's vampire book, sunlight only weakens— not kills— vampires. But I thought in the rest of pop culture it was deadly to them. So I assumed he was exuding some sort of moisture as the sunlight broked down his vampiric cells or whatever the fuck it does. Like in that…
