Is that what people say about 'Showgirls'? I thougth the joy of the movie was that it was an earnestly edgy exploration of showbiz dreams that is straight up terrible.

This is pretty amazing — it's exactly what Stephenie Meyer tried to do when she was re-writing Twilight from Edward's point of view. EL James not only ripped off Meyer with her fanfic, she then stole her gimmick. I'm impressed.

I didn't read it as gay panic, but just straight up "I am TIRED OF ARGUING". Like Brock Samson grumbling "aw, this getting stupid!" before just wrecking everyone.

I think it must be this one: http://www.avclub.com/artic…

Bushwah!

I love that bit so much. There's nothing at stake, and the Professor is still immediately ready to possibly destroy the universe to obtain chronotons.

I thought that title was "Titus Andromedon" for a second and got real excited.

It totally holds up: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The 7th Guest had this great little diddy with its credits music about skeletons. It was like a jazz combo with a piano and an upright bass. I spent so much time in early internet days looking for that song. Much easier these days: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I'm assuming the ending that Ignatiy refers to centers around an outbreak of electro-gonnorrhea.

I can't wait til we meet some of Wilson's aunts.

Good call on Django.

Well, he did ride the mighty moon worm.

Is this at all related to the fantastic Canadian mystery show about the alcoholic, agoraphobic Russian chess grandmaster who solves mysteries to pay for the hotel room he lives in?

N-X-T! N-X-T!
Thanks so much for putting this up top - it's the most excited I've been about television in a while. And please yes make Bayley the mascot for AVClub sports or something like that.

This movie did nothing for me. I wanted to like it, and the performances are strong, sure, but there's just nothing going on. The three leads can't "do the heavy lifting" because there is nothing heavy to lift.

My friends and I used to play a drinking game for this movie. Every time someone dies, or every time we witness some type of awful atrocity, take a drink. Waterfalls whenever someone is on fire. It was rough game, no mistake.

Yeah, that was the most boring double murder I've ever seen. The drowning had some tension, but after that its just like uggh, I get it, lots of blood, lets get on with it. If the whole movie is like that I can't imagine sitting through it.

A good reminder that the Bechdel test measures a specific value, and is not indicative in itself of overall quality.

As long as it includes Natalie Portman (or Tom Hiddleston in a dress) riding an incredibly fat horse, I'm in.
