Let's be honest: if he read anything by Margaret Weis, he would've simply just typed "Dragonlance" and omitted the authors, rationalizing "well, there were multiple authors over the series and she worked with Tracy Hickman on them…"

More like the White Men Can't Jump- an early blast of funny scenes and quotable lines that just sort of fizzled out into a weird ending

Yup, total subversion. I could be mis-remembering, but I thought I saw an interview with John Carpenter where he said the movie started off as the idea "What if John Wayne was in a Kung Fu movie?"

The toast was led by Wang Chi: "Here's to the Army and Navy and the battles they have won; here's to America's colors, the colors that never run"

Before I even watch this, I will say that Frank's "GOD DAMMIT!!!" in the back of the Uhaul after the door slams shut from "The Gang Hits The Road" is the first that pops into my head. Now I'm gonna watch it…

Loved the book but never really cared for the miniseries so I'm looking forward to this- and yes, Tim Curry was very good but that was not enough to salvage the whole thing. In fact, this trailer already surpasses the miniseries in creepiness.

There was already one shitty indie documentary about Hughes made while he was still alive- I saw your comment after I just mentioned it in a post. It was so, so terrible.

My wife loves his movies and while I initially enjoyed them the first few times I saw them, the obvious flaws get more and more amplified with every rewatch and I really don't have the heart to tell her I'd rather pass on watching them again and would rather our young daughter not pick up any unfortunate lessons from

I agree. I'm probably not alone in that I was really hoping for more…well, just MORE about the Husker Du years and it just seemed really thin- I think a lot of that section amounted to "well, we were really drunk a lot" when I was hoping for some details about the songwriting. He also seemed to skim quickly through

I don't know if it counts, but the only value I find in Wild Wild West is that it's basically the punchline in Kevin Smith's oft-told tale about his work on a Superman Returns movie. You can definitely find it with a quick online search, but the short version is that this one producer was throwing all of these

Saw another commenter mention The Way Way Back. Was not expecting how much of it reminded me of the vacations my family and I used to take every summer.
Each year, my parents, my two sisters and I would head to one of the beaches in Florida or on the Atlantic coast, sometimes just us, other times, they'd plan it so

I would've added Scott Lynch in there as a tag-team partner, with his having all seven books in the Gentlemen Bastards series listed with titles, but he didn't try and sell everyone on the claim that the books were essentially complete and ready for publication.

You'd think there'd be fedoras involved.

As a fan of the book dissatisfied with many of the decisions made by the show, I've just decided to treat the show as Fan Fiction.

I picture Patrick Rothfuss jumping in the ring and doing a heel-turn on one of his mentors a la Larry Zbyszko against Bruno Sammartino. Because all three Kingkiller Chronicles books have been done since the first book came out, right?

This sounds like the book I wish would be written about Husker Du. I read Bob Mould's autobiography a few years back and was rather disappointed at how glossed-over a lot of the band-related stuff was. Expecting some more depth or analysis about the songwriting, the only impression I seemed to get was that he/they

Strong Belwas… oh wait. Dammit.

Sees B+. Reads Review. Looks back at B+ and wonders what the fuck about this episode earned a B+

I have a dickish inclination regarding this series given the fact that it's somehow expected that, when I want to talk about it, I have an obligation to take caution and care to dance around and post SPOILER warnings for something I read nearly 13 years ago. There's gotta be a shelf-life to that sort of thing.

Are there slo-mo fight sequences? Well, are there?
