Spoiler alert!!!!

Why remake a good film? Better to remake a mediocre film that had a good concept that could be better executed:

You better hope I never find you at CVS - I would force you to defend your love for "Babe - Pig in the City" - the one film that I would erase from my brain if they ever get that "Eternal Sunshine" technology worked out. It was loud, crass, mean-spirited, and depressing - everything a Babe sequel should never have…

"This is Bill Curtis, telling you to fuck off for Roger Ebert…"

They should make a film about us and call it "The Circlejerkists".

But but - you just don't GET IT, stone cold - see the film is called The Artist - but if you put an F in from of it, it becomes "Fartist" as in "fart" which is automatically REALLY REALLY funny, because, you know, FARTS!!!!!!

I saw Beginners this weekend and really liked it. I hate "twee" films - and don't agree that this was. "Twee" films are trying harder to be cute than heartfelt, and even the "This is what happiness looked like" picture montages made some interesting points by drawing parallels between the narrative threads. They…

I always liked to watch his films for the new variation on "freakshow crucifixion" that was usually in there somewhere. Oh, and since no one else seems to be a fan - his version of Oscar Wilde's Salome (as "Salome's Last Dance") is entertaining in a low-budget theater kinda way. Last I checked it was on netflix…

There was a fourth collaborator - Kim Krizan, who co-wrote the original. I'm still not sure what she had to do with the second one - Delpy and Hawke had writing credits with Linklater, but during the Oscars when they were nominated for screenplay she was included in the list of nominees, but her overall participation…

Yep - just checked it - Dec. 9, 1989.

It was in the 1989-1990 season. I think this is the same episode that had the "Betty Ford Straight-Arrow Christmas" sketch, so December '89 seems about right.

I think it's a matter of living way beyond your means, even when you have a lot of means. If you are a multi-millionaire who spends like a billionaire it will catch up to you eventually and you end up with nothing, since a lot of stuff was on credit in the first place.

I think you have some valid points, but there is some growth - the stupid Andy throw-away lines are getting better and better (like how you can re-arrange the letters in "Peru" to spell "Europe"). The April and Andy go to Four Points web thing is probably the funniest bit they've done so far in the series.

I think the original was about Vic Morrow's death on the Twilight Zone Movie set….

Yeah yeah, everyone remembers Walken on SNL. Nobody remembers Robert Wagner's episode, which was THE GREATEST EPISODE IN THE SHOW'S HISTORY. Seriously - "Attack of the Masturbating Zombies", "Tales of the Runaway Boulder" "Messy Eater" and "Swivel Chair Mystery Theater" were some of the best examples of that genius…

Way too old for the part. But I wish someone would give her a Tarantino type career resurrection. IMDB says she's been slaving away in bad TV roles for decades and that's such a fucking waste.

Hey! How about Christopher Walken for host? He could do the musical numbers without looking like a tool.

Ah, great. I get to revive the betting pool for "how long will it take Billy Crystal to impersonate a senile Jewish guy." - hint - don't bet for longer than 3 minutes.

I read that Lynch had to bring the film to Brooks for a screening, and was sure that Brooks would hate it and run like hell, but Mel emerged from the theater beaming and immediately declared Lynch a mad genius.
