Bye Bye Career
Wow. She's fallen so far since that role as Will Smith's stripper girlfriend in Independence Day. Any idea why? Talent? Attitude? Drunkitude? Eva Mendes tapped to fill the vacuum? That's what she said?

MSt3K
Final Justice? That means more Joe Don Baker on MST3K on DVD! Awesome! And Soultaker has Martin Sheen's brother in it! That's worth your 60 dollar price tag. Or 40, if you shop at Hastings.

Have you ever read Henry VI, Part Three? The monorail episode is so much better. Of course, the monorail episode is better than most things so-called Western Civilization has produced.

Is That…
… a piece of head cheese in that flower? Or some old K-rations? Or is she just a part of that "This Side of Paradise" episode of Star Trek?

I'd say that FMJ has a great first and third act. The middle section, where everything's shown in chaos, etc., just doesn't have as much narrative drive to keep things pushing along, which might be the point to it: the marines have no real idea how to relate to things outside the world of "combat", where everything's

Laurence Fishburne
I once heard about Fishburne doing something similar during his run in Othello. Someone's cell phone kept going off, and he finally broke character and yelled, "ANSWER THE MOTHERFUCKING PHONE!" I'd have killed to have been there.

Not any more.

Are You Kidding?
What's next? McG tackling Jules Verne?

OPTICAL ILLUSION!!!!!

Body Snatchers is a very underrated film, except for the ending, which was tacked on. The use of widescreen photography film is amazing, and I've used it to teach classes. There's another cult classic for you — if anyone else actually watches it regularly but me. If you have the chance to see this on a movie screen,

Jamie, from Mythbusters.

Bubba Ho-tep is one of the best character driven horror films ever. Really underrated. The fact that Campbell and Davis take their roles as seriously as possible adds a gravity to the story that makes it as much about two cultural icons recovering their images as about flying stop-motion scarabs.

Slight Disagreement
I think Billy Zane is the only decent thing about The Phantom, besides the fact that the movie looks sensational. His performance rides the line between camp and kitsch very nicely. I laughed at the "No smoking in the Phantom cave" joke because his delivery of it is perfect. However, the rest of it

Supergirl
How about the new run on Supergirl? Or the whole New Krypton storyline? You guys seem to ignore a lot Geoff Johns' best stuff, such as the Sinestro Corps War.

Clowns'll get me.

Time After Time
Malcolm McDowell, not Roddy. Possibly his best performance, esp. when he pleads for Mary Steenbergen's life. Wells was one of the men whose social ideas, while very advanced for his time, were still limited by the conceived barriers of the time, much like those abolitionists who wanted to free the

Sheesh…
These guys can't even do self-parody without looking pretentious. Unless this isn't self-parody, and then it's more pretentious crap that turns into self-parody. Really, we've had quite enough of the stupid universe merging with ours for one decade already.
