In "Blow-Out", Lithgow actually garrottes a hooker in the toilet stall, so you're probably safe. Probably.

Cancer comes up a bunch of times in "Letting Go of God", too. A couple of Mormon missionaries visit her and tell her that in heaven, her body will be perfect. She's lost her uterus to cancer, so she asks them if she'll get that back. Yes, they tell her, to which she replies, "But I don't want it!"

"Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter" is a Canadian film. And we're really fucking proud of it, too.

Opera? Fatties?

Actually, the deal with the one about the bitchy blind woman (Joan Crawford) is that she's such a bitch that she blackmails a doctor into taking the eyes of some down-on-his-luck mug and grafting them into her head so she can see, even though she'll only have sight for eight hours, and just as she unwraps the bandages

Tim Kang doesn't need to change facial expressions if he doesn't want to, because the one he generally wears is just fine, because he is very, very, very, very attractive.

Would it make me some kind of asshole to point out that it isn't Winona Ryder but one of the Heathers (the blonde who downs the disinfectant cocktail) who says "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw"?

I am drinking Fresca right now as I write this. It is sublime.

I read Salem's Lot when it was issued in 1975, and I don't remember one single thing about it except what was lying at the bottom of that staircase to the basement. Thinking about it still freaks me out a little. Vampires aren't scary, supernatural bullshit isn't scary, but goddammit, that is.

And what about his minor role in Tootsie? It hasn't aged well (if it was ever any good to begin with), but "You SLUT" is about the most perfect thing ever.

Et Cetera
Either I'm the only person who's ever seen these movies, or I'm the only person who'll admit to crying at them (because they are romantic comedies and men are apparently not supposed to watch such things):
