1993 was my first year as a Mormon missionary in Missouri. I saw so many of these in the theater. Had to dress incognito, though, as movies were against the rules.

It was all about True Romance.

Hit him up for a pic at Sundance several years ago. He was an enormous prick.

So where's this quiz? Wait….I have to watch a goddamn video?

At the Sundance premiere of 'Tucker and Dale vs. Evil', Tudyk suddenly appeared in the concession line, taking pics with fans who were waiting for popcorn, dancing on random chairs, generally just jacked the crowd up. I'll always love him for that fantastic memory.

Affection for the individual projects aside, Riedenschneider is arguably his best performance ever. He made it seem so effortless, that dickish patter.

How does this compare to 'A Head Full of Ghosts', which was told from a YA perspective, but with decidedly adult themes.

AV Club writer on Scandal:

I'm reading the AV Club for episode-by-episode recaps. Please quit discussing how themes play out over the entire season:

The original had more attempted rape than I'm used to in a Disney film.

The Magician's Land. Grossman's trilogy will eventually be recognized as one of the best adult fantasy series of all time.

It's not quite 'worse than you can possibly' imagine, but it's pretty bad.  Definitely sub-Scary Movie territory.

And where's 'Where the Woodbine Twineth'? That one's creepy as hell.

Wow, I've never met anybody else who's seen both Treasure of the Four Crowns and Metalstorm in the theater.  I was 9, so all I remember is a bunch of flamy flying objects in Treasure and some snake monster exploding out of the screen at the end of Metalstorm. My best friend next door was an only child, and his mom

'The Necromancer's House' by Christopher Buehlman.  I haven't read Buehlman's previous two novels, but I'm digging this one.

'Gummi Bears' came straight from the black forests of Germany.

I saw 'Hansel and Gretel' WEEKS ago when Asylum released it early through Redbox.

Wasn't that Kimmy from Cloak and Dagger?

At this year's Sundance I gave a vaguely familiar actress directions to the 7-11.  I just realized it was Jordana Spiro.

Once you blow up the house, it goes into a clock, and then a dollhouse, and then into Megan Ward, and it's a whole thing.
