Just wait until you get to the orgy onboard the Anubis!

I've always wondered about that too, Reason. That scene was the first scene that I actually enjoyed in that movie and showed that it had potential to get deeper than a bunch of teens snarking at each other.

Pigsley!!!

PG13?
Ok, so it's been a while since I've read this book, but I don't see that keeping it PG13 is really going to undermine the book at all. (In fact, I'd argue that a hard R probably wouldn't actually be keeping with a very accurate portrayal of the events in the book.)

Mark Frost
Frost now only gets billing as "Fantastic Four writer"???

Hitler?
I went through all the comments and the review and may have missed it, but I can't believe there's been no mention of the carving that Ron was working on the entire episode. At the end, when they finally showed it…was it supposed to be Hitler? Or was it a mini-Ron? At first, I thought it was Ron, but the

Maybe they're just really good thumb wrestlers???

I wanted to comment on this very fact. I don't have a whole lot else to add to what you've already said, but I'm in total agreement with you.

I recently re-watched The Fisher King (which I hadn't seen in a loooong time) and MILD SPOILER was quite pleased with Bridges leading the sing-along at the end. It was a nice way to wrap things up.

It can certainly be true. It seems to me though that some of that criticism could easily be applied — and was, although not in a pejorative way — to Inception. I mean, totems and clearly demarcated levels and very video game-esque? (Not to mention the bit about "CGI has made it so easy to create fantastical

Does this mean that the girls are ambidextrous? Cause that's pretty neat!

Wow
Kristen Schaal's kind of let herself go…

Sirens is my favorite Vonnegut as well.

This is what comes from living in a world where most producers/agents/etc. base their decisions off of the first 5 pages and the last 5 pages of the script. You've gotta have a hook right off the bat if you want even the most miniscule of chances of getting your screenplay produced.

So I just wikipedia'd the end of Skyline (I'm not ever going to see it, definitely not my sort of thing, but was curious about this "insane" ending)…and I don't get it. What's so crazy about that?

Fans of Myrna Loy should check out Love Me Tonight if you've never seen it. She's at her most gorgeous in that, IMO. (It also features what was probably the first ever zoom shot in a film.)

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but one of my favorite "high" movies used to be The Last Temptation of Christ. There's some wildly trippy stuff in that film.

Hansen?
Wasn't Ryan Hansen supposed to be starring in one of NBC's mid-season replacement comedies? (Friends With Benefits or something like that?) Whatever happened with that? Hansen routinely cracked my shit up on Party Down and VM.

@ FindingCoffee — That's just kind of what happens when your parents are all a bunch of rich, coked up Eurotrash models and musicians in the 70s.
