Goddamn you, Flaubert. You owe me a new keyboard. That caught me off guard so much that I had to go get a glass of water specifically to spit it all over the place.

For a Green Arrow flick to be worth watching, I will HAVE to see a scene where Batman shows up and says, "Seriously, WTF? Do you ever do ANYthing original?"
Holy shit- I step away for a few hours, and the thread goes from being a (nearly) thoughtful discussion on the merits of the film/merits of reviewing a 25 year old film, to a fucking hatefest directed towards anyone for any reason at all. Great job, Internet! (Sorry….had to.)
@Robuttnik-there's no need for someone else to review the release just because you don't agree with their opinion of the film, as their opinion didn't extend to the important portion of the review, the features. Note that you'll find no mention of "that God-awful Cyndi Lauper video for her shitty-ass song", "a…
Agreed, Stathis. My wife has long been confused as to how I can love Buckaroo Bonzai or Killer Klowns, but not enjoy this film. Simply put: I never saw it growing up, so I have no nostalgia to rely upon. Without nostalgia, this is simply a movie that has no idea how bad it is. On the other hand, Buckaroo Bonzai…
I love the "Tonight's episode", would love to see a cold open (a la "Baa Baa Blackmail") at least once a week, and I loved the Kanye press conference playing throughout the monologue. The typical topical jokes are generally pretty weak, but I loved that there was something so completely absurd tying it all together.
I was of the age that I really didn't pay any attention to late night shows until Carson retired (I was maybe 13 during that whole fiasco); being a Hoosier with any sort of sense of humor at all, I instinctively followed Letterman to CBS, and the fact that everyone kept saying "This is the sort of show Carson used to…
I'm gonna say 'Sheik Yerbouti' or 'Joe's Garage' for an entry point. That, or the "Cheap Thrills" comp.
How sad is it that I now associate 'Suffragette City' with one of the greatest scenes in all of Gilmore Girls (a series filled with great scenes): Jess and his dad, sitting in the dark of Luke's Diner, silent, with the track on the radio. It gets to "the bit", and suddenly both characters join in: "Awwwwwwww……wham,…
Don't joke about that shit. Some kid my daughter's in a play with was playing Ice Ice Baby and some Milli Vanilli shit during rehearsal a couple of weeks ago. I had to offer my daughter a formal apology that my generation didn't do the responsible thing and bury that shit to protect future generations from it.
Anyone (like me, once upon a time) who looks down on "Let's Dance" (the song) would do well to check out Bowie's live version from the BBC Theatre in 2000. Absolutely perfect. I used to play that track on the radio anytime Bowie showed up on the playlist. (For the record, it was an Adult Contemporary Top-40…
While I agree that it was pretty predictable (and stereotypical) that the bully would wind up kissing Kurt, I was really appreciative of the fact that Kurt didn't just start making out with him, and that the bully kept up his anti-gay routine even after that kiss. From a story standpoint, I think it can go a lot of…
Fox reediting the show after the fact?
While it can't account for the over-all quality of the episode, I have a feeling that the network stepped in and forced a few rewrites/edits. If you think back to the next episode preview right after the Rocky Horror episode, Sue had a line to Will about needing to show him a…
I don't think Tomorrow Never Dies was even on N64; I seem to remember TWINE being the first post-Goldeneye Bond game that Eurocom had a hand in, so there were high hopes there. I mostly just remember that the guys in my band at the time would fire up Goldeneye for the multiplayer, but TWINE for the single player…
Hate to say, but those blueprints had been on file for years before Home Improvement came around. Every time someone who didn't understand satire attempted to copy 'All In The Family', it was there. (Hell- every time someone who didn't understand satire WATCHED 'All In The Family', it was there.) Every cheap…
I'm relatively sure that's also from a Gallagher routine, though for the life of me I couldn't tell you which one. But it sounds early-to-mid 80s Gallagher. (In my defense, my parents loved his shit, and now drop everything when either Blue Collar Comedy Tour or Jeff Dunham come on TV. No fuckin' clue how the hell…
GoldenEye was never on PS1; however, The World Is Not Enough was, which was also a damn good single-player game (both N64 and PS1 versions)- it was definitely one of those occasions where the game was a damn sight better than the flick was (and, if I recall, the game had pretty much nothing to do with the movie).
Guys, seriously? Can't we use this time-bubble-thing for good?
Rock icons bemoaning hipsters? I can't get behind that.
I think we can all pretty well guess who will be writing the episode.
