I'm a little late to the party on this one, but the first R-rated film I saw (not in cinemas) was ROBOCOP. My parents rented it for me to watch while being babysat when I was 8 because they thought it was a fun superhero-type movie. It gave me nightmares and I loved every second of it. It's also one of my Drop

Am I crazy, or is that a lot of gum?

Absolutely! Did he consult with Irvin Kershner or Richard Marquand, the *actual* directors of EMPIRE and JEDI, respectively? Probably not, because they're both dead. But still. I just want to watch recognizable versions of the movies I love(d).

Make no mistake, Season of the Witch is far from a good movie. I just felt it was slightly more entertaining. It aims no higher than being a B movie, and I thought Cage and Perlman were fun to watch together.

Your comments lead to an interesting discussion about expectations. I went into Source Code with high expectations and didn't like it. I went with the expectation of hating Season of the Witch, and found it tolerable and mildly amusing. So, I'm entirely not sure what my point it, but is there a way to adjust

Source Code?
Really? I was severely disappointed with that film, especially with Jones' Moon in the back of my mind. Sure Code had an interesting premise ("It's like Quantum Leap meets Groundhog Day!"), but that painfully cheesey and "snuh?" of an ending completely sink the film for me. Imagine my surprise when I

mmmm
I could go for a peanut butter and peanut butter sammich.

I can't believe…
…no one picked "Pour Some Sugar on Me." Somewhere, right now, that song is being sung in a karaoke bar. My go-to karaoke songs: GN'R's "Mr. Brownstone," Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl," and Steve Miller Band's "Take the Money and Run," which someone said had one of the worst lyrical rhymes (even though I

"Gimme my money back!"
Four words I heard every other day when I worked at Blockbuster (for six, yes SIX damn years). Mostly foreign films received this hatred (but also challenging English-language films), as already angered customers were forced to rent these film because the current Adam Sandler comedy/Big Momma's

I've got four that I still absolutely love: "Melanie," "Airline Amy," "Good Enough for Now," and "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota." Gold. All gold.

True story?!
Best part of the trailer: Statham flying out a window strapped to a chair, cut to the title card "BASED ON A TRUE STORY"

Weird Al
I love "Melanie." Those harmonies are killer.

Ensconced? You're buried in it.

Wanna hear a little summer rain?
Nope? Okie doke.

Why?
How come there's no mention of "Liberian Girl"?!

Season 5
Season 5 definitely has some great moments (Patrick Warburton!), but after rewatching it last summer when I bough the DVDs I felt as though Lovitz was just a constant reminder that Hartman was gone. It's not to slight the show, Lovitz, or anyone involved, I just held NewsRadio and Hartman so close to my heart

Hollow Man 2
My favourite unnecessary sequel. So low budget they had the audacity to have not one but TWO invisible men square off in an inviable fight(!). Wait what?

Catherine Wheel's…
…Adam & Eve is probably my favourite record. Glad to see everyone hasn't forgotten them.

"You wanted the best, you got the best!"
Well, this is what I think anyway….

September Gurls
I love Big Star almost as much as The Beatles and The Clash, and would've more had I been introduced to them earlier. Honestly, I think "September Gurls" is one of the most perfect songs ever recorded (right next to "Train in Vain," "I've Just Seen a Face," and "Can't Hardly Wait."
