You read my mind
Next week marks the second superhero week at MYOF as I revisit "Batman & Robin" and "Catwoman". Aw. Yeah.

Hey JeffC/madtown alum/filthflam
You make a good point. Anytime you write about yourself in the context of art criticism you risk looking self-indulgent. But since everything on this site other than the blogs, Hater and my column is written in the third person I thought it might be nice to write about films from a…

But what
about the children? Oh, won't someone think of the children?!!!!!!!

ThatGuamGuy
That's true: while the audience got references to "The Exorcist" bad ventriloquism and even worse improvisational comedy were foreign enough to them that riffing on their tropes represented an exercise in futility. That's one of the things I really liked about this movie: in addition to being very funny…

Ah but there's awesome cultural satire disguised as navel-gazing at work here. I don't know if I can bring myself to watch "Pluto Nash" a second time but videos I've bought on Ebay this week as potential MYOF entries include "Exit To Eden", "North", "Basic Instinct 2", "Howard the Duck" and Adrian Lyne's…

Hilton giving the Cat a hat-on
I originally mentioned the Hilton cameo in the article but that was the one minute of the film my DVD skipped over and would not play no matter what, possibly due to a technical glitch or possibly out of taste or self-preservation. I wasn't entirely sure I didn't hallucinate that bit the…

Two things
First off I'm sorry I posted so late. Secondly I'd very much like to recommend "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T", a perfect fusion of Dr. Seuss and cinema precisely because it's an original screenplay by the good doctor and not a sad attempt to blow up a slim kid's book into a randy big-screen comedy.

All Apologies
Hey guys, Sorry #69 is so late. It should be posting later tonight. I probably should have made "Basic Instinct 2" or "Lolita" number 69. Instead it's "The Cat In The Hat".

Welcome!
to the wonderful world o' the A.V Club, Claire. Tis' good to have you onboard.

Muffman
To me she'll always be one-half of Wellicity H. Muffman. If Stephen Colbert feels otherwise that's his business. I concur with Chocolate Snowflake that it is pretty surreal how Lohan was very strategically edited out of "Georgia Rule" ads. Apparently between casting and the DVD release Lohan officially made…

hey SouthofHeaven
You're right. I accidentally repeated myself. I apologize for that.

Fun fact
"Battlefield Earth" is reportedly Republican Pod Person Mitt Romney's favorite book. How awesome is that? Not since Wesley Ford declared Wyclef his favorite musician have I been so overjoyed with a Presidential candidate's pop culture choices.

The Famously Obscure Bobby Z
I was very much considering writing about "Bobby Z". I'll probably cover it in next month's column. The trainwreck potential for that one (and really anything that requires Paul Walker to stretch) is off the chain.

The Last Time
had a tiny theatrical run but since I'd never heard of it before I figured it qualified for this feature. Sometimes you gotta bend the rules a little.

Yeah
Given its ambitions I was surprised it was only ninety-six minutes long (I'm guessing a much longer version exists somewhere) but it had me in its spell all the same, though I can understand others not feeling the same way. You either give yourself over to it, as I did, or it leaves you wondering "Wuh?" I…

Sorry
I apologize for posting this so late. I've been trying to generate a backlog of these joints but due to any number of reasons that's proven prohibitively difficult. Sorry bout that.

Tis true, tis true
danrimage, I wasn't able to get into the making of the movie, which would be an entire column onto itself. Apparently Kilmer was originally cast in the lead role and Rob Morrow in the part Kilmer eventually played. Then Morrow left and Kilmer stayed on after Frankenheimer took over the project but…

I concur
That "You're sounding a little Spanish to me line" was kinda brilliant

SoylentGreenTea
Point duly noted. That sentence is a little dodgy and convoluted. It should read "When I think about the movies I've seen for this feature, I imagine that in the future my memories won't look much like these entries". Ah fuck, I probably should have just cut that line out altogether. It's probably…

props where props are due
I personally have nothing but love and admiration for Ebert and all he's accomplished. The man's a legend, and I'm not just saying that because I'm all over the "Beyond The Valley of the Dolls" DVD. Let's just hope Disney does right by this venerable cultural institution.
