What about Red Dwarf? Season 6 was in 1993, and season 7 was in 1997. A decade passed in between season 8 (1999) and the de facto season 9 (2009), then season 10 wasn't until 2012.

I wonder if Idle's standing would be more regarded today if his mid-70s sketch show, Rutland Weekend Television, was more readily available. It's been cited as Idle's best post-Python work, but the damn thing's never been released on video/DVD, apparently because of copyright/litigation issues between Idle, Neil…

His dad (Jason Miller) played Father Karras. Father Merrin was Max von Sydow.

Best vampire film of the 80s? Nah. I'd put Fright Night over The Lost Boys…but I'd put The Lost Boys over Vamp (by a whisker). Dunno where I would fit Near Dark into all this, as it's been years since I saw it and I can barely remember it.

If memory serves, Blankman has a homemade arsenal of gadgets and weapons. And a problem involving involuntary ejaculation when his love-interest kisses him. (Daman Wayans went from The Last Boy Scout to this??)

I think Pulaski's bad rap is justified. Obviously, there's nothing inherently wrong with a gruff, acerbic older female character, but her combative relationship with Data was an all-too-obvious rehash of the McCoy/Spock schtick from TOS. And it never worked, because, while McCoy and Spock shared a genuine respect for…

It's kinda funny that Tom Hardy and James McAvoy look nothing alike, but both have played young Patrick Stewarts.

Michael Bay would do it, on the condition that the walk is filmed in slow motion, with stirring patriotic music and a bunch of square-jawed US army guys strutting towards the camera.

Like how Thora Birch's career has been ruined by her father? Still, as career-ruining parents go, they got nothing on Marvin Gaye's father.

It wasn't totally original, though, was it? Wasn't it just a loose remake of "Quality of Mercy"?

"Dead or alive, you're cumming with me."

I picked up the (R4) DVD on the cheap a few years ago, but I haven't watched it yet. I think I first learned about Crimewave's existence when I read Bruce Campbell's autobiography, and I think his tale of being forced out of the lead role put me off wanting to actually watch the film.

One of the (many) reasons Robocop 2 sucked is that the subplot involving Murphy's crisis of identity kinda nullified the ending of the first film.

Knock yourself out.

We've got a statue of Bon Scott (of AC/DC) in Fremantle, Western Australia. I never bothered to check it out until late last year, and I gotta say, I was disappointed. Damn statue's midget-sized.

I will say without hesitation that Superman IV is better than Superman III. I mean, both films are absolutely terrible, but I can appreciate Superman IV as cheesy entertainment, whereas Superman III is just painful. Kinda like the Robocop movies - I can enjoy Robocop 3 on a camp level because the series had already…

*puts pedantic cap on*

She was also amazing as David Bowie in Snuff Box.

@avclub-68ed797b8372d94e15f9cce7ff19a2dc:disqus Apparently it was also Roddenberry who leaked the news about Spock's death in ST II. Every time a new Trek film was being made, the producers ignored Roddenberry's suggestion of the film being about the Enterprise crew and the Klingons travelling back in time to the…

I was more shocked when Lincoln got a spear in the back on the planet Excalbia.
