I think its along the lines of most film review places—like they have one or two regular writers—writers who are employed by the publication/site full time (in this case Dowd and possibly Ignatiy) and then a gaggle of reliable free lancers who can be called upon to reliably write something up before deadline without…

I've heard oculus wasn't half bad. I don't know if that's actually true but you got a choice at least.

ditto.

That metal isn't gonna weld itself in his garage!

well we just need to find a new Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee of working actors today to carry the torch. I feel like some combination of Christopher Walken and Frank Langella could carry the torch in these kinds of movies very well (provided Walken doesn't lapse into self parody too badly)

when I was a kid I used to get those kid scientist kit thingies in the mail. (I don't know why—I never liked them all that much) Your comment strikes me as something the kids of today would get—"kid horror movie trailer editor kit"

Ten Years A Knave.

weirdly my mom never got into CBS procedurals—I think she thinks they're too grizzly or violent—-I remember the one or two episodes of CSI she watched one of em involved a guy with a pick-axe stuck in his head and that was enough for her.
And yet her absolute favorite show was always the original mothership of Law and…

you're telling me teenage you didn't prefer to nurse a crush on Sam Waterston and Jerry Orbach instead?!?!?!?

I mean I recognize its…

In Your Face Moon!

damnit when is Jean Claude gonna nail that elusive Oscar???

that's it!
Caine/Hackman is now officially—Cage/Whalberg.

its true—Harvey Firestein was probably the first no big deal bid for mainstream gay supporting actor.

melonfarter!

Caine/Hackman is slowly but surely being replaced by Whalberg/Smith.

yeah Four Brothers is one that does seem to pop up a lot and not just on TNT—there's AMC, and sometimes Bravo as well.

they were running The Happening quite a bit for a while there.

my older sister actively hated it when she saw it in theaters—I think the whole tone of the parents' divorce made her mad tho— having spent her early childhood as a go between between my own feuding parents put a huge damper on any enjoyment she could've possibly gotten out of this movie. Still she was one of the only…

a better purple blob? sure.
a culturally literate circa 1993 Purple Blob? not so much.
