I'll go to my grave saying that A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2 is the best of the Freddy movies. In fact, I think the reasons fans didn't care for it during the series' heyday (i.e. for its divergence from the series' supposed continuity) is what makes it stand out today. It's far less formulaic than almost all of…

I loved J.M's run on Spectacular Spider-Man in the early 90s - "The Child Within" especially - but his later stuff on Amazing Spider-Man I didn't care much for, probably because it was all tied into the Clone Saga, which was too depressing.

No mention of the fact that Matheson wrote the cinematic masterpiece that is Jaws 3-D?

When Harlan Ellison dies, the first thing he's gonna do in heaven is slap God with a nuisance lawsuit.

Why doesn't someone just make an anthology-film-adaptation of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? That book has the best version of Cinderella ever.

I see your Christopher Hitchens, and raise you my Christopher Morris (and Alan Partridge):

I'm probably over-analysing this (in fact, I know I am), but I find it hard to reconcile the Alan Partridge of On the Hour and The Day Today was the Alan Partridge of everything after. I mean, the personality of the character is the same, but…the Alan Partridge of On the Hour and The Day Today is one zany character…

People, people. The truth is, Ghostbusters is merely part of a rich tapestry that is Harold Ramis' obsession with Pink Floyd. Consider the following:

Icky pop-culture factoid: Mr Rick Fucking Springfield deflowered a 15-year-old Linda Blair.

Bogus Journey is far superior to Excellent Adventure. The Bill & Ted movies kinda remind me of the Gremlins films - the first instalments are more widely and fondly remembered and have more nostalgia value, but the sequels are a shit-ton more imaginative, and flat-out hilarious.

I think it was in the documentary on the Bill & Ted DVD set that Alex Winter mentions how out-of-control William Sadler was when they were filming Bogus Journey. He was having such a blast in the role, swinging the scythe around, being so goddamned hilarious… I dunno, was that the first film William Sadler got to be fu…

Question: was President of Laramie Cigarettes Jack Larson named after the guy who played Jimmy Olsen?
