Except Lewis was a great director at his peak. The Ladies Man, The Bellboy and The Nutty Professor are unimpeachable. And the Frank-Tashlin-directed Martin & Lewis movies are nothing sneeze at, either; Artists & Models is a goddamn masterpiece.

Corrected! It's been … a long weekend.

That's low for Sandler. Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, Jack and Jill, That's My Boy, Just Go With It, and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry all cost $75-90 million. And that's not counting advertising.

Nah, Watch This entries come a week before they run. The issue is that the original post had the wrong premise attached to it (since corrected) because of a miscommunication on my part.

Key is in the sleeve notes to Tigermilk. They also clarify that the narrator of "My Wandering Days Are Over" is Sebastian, and may also be the narrator of "Fox in the Snow" and "The State I Am In." (Relevant passages: "Sebastian had just decided to become a one-man band. […] Sebastian had befriended a fox because he…

Just out of frame. Not to sound super-lame, but I generally avoid wheat.

Uh, character actor is not a pejorative, nor is the term used as such in the US.

Most movies are shot in RAW. REDCODE RAW (used by Red cameras) and ArriRAW (used by the Arri Alexa) are the two industry standards.

John Cassavetes used to haunt Nick at Nite via his appearances on Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Garner is… not as young as you think. Also, Sarandon is about a decade older than Costner.

That still is from the climax, which is the only time he really goes full Ahnuld. To the movie's credit, he functions mostly as a coach figure for the team.

He's never made anything that was close a major blockbuster, but his production costs are so low that he makes mind-boggling profits. Perry's worth something like $400 million. For comparison, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt have about $250 mil.

I'm not a liberal, and you'd have to be going by some pretty low standards to call me an intellectual.

Yo, we have already had this discussion. Scroll up or down (depending on how you have this set up) to the thread started by Mexican Blade Runner. Join in if ya like.

Don't know. Would she be freaked out by seeing a five-year-old girl get eaten by a monster in the first fifteen minutes? Or by a creepy pig man roasting human bodies on a spit?

Hey, hey, if I'm debating the finer points of the Achaemenids' attitude toward slavery, I think you can be pretty sure I know how BC(E) dates work.

1. Zoroastrianism forbids slavery. The Achaemenids' non-Zoroastrian vassal states definitely practiced slavery, but not the Achaemenids themselves. As for the Spartans, their conquest of the Messinians didn't happen until a couple of centuries after the time-frame I'm talking about in the review. (Also, putting a…

Remember this scene in Starship Troopers?

This movie went into production a year before 12 Years a Slave, Nyong'o's debut, was released. They're the only two films she's been in, and they were both shot in 2012. You will not see her in a movie again until sometime in 2015 or early 2016.

Yep.
