This was a hoot, sir. I laughed my ass off and completely empathized with you. I find it impossible not to laugh at The Room. It's like a defense mechanism against how bad it is. It is one the great cinematic experiences of our time. It will make you cry. It is one of the most misogynistic things ever…

Rock. It took me a few seconds to recover from that and enjoy the rest of the thing.

Seriously? That piece of shit won a Grammy? If that song's Grammy worthy, then Owl City's "Fireflies" is fucking Coleridge. Possibly literally, as if to brag.

The God of Comedy
Say what you want about Chaplin and his great films, but Keaton understood how film worked better than almost anyone else at the time. His films — almost all of them — are brilliant pieces of work. They're smart, dark, and constantly inventive. If you throw in The Navigator and College with what you…

Started watching that myself for the same reason. Remembered being blown away by it when it first came out. Holds up very well.

Yes, thanks Sugartits. I was scanning down the comment line for someone to do that.

Hey! Nice. The only copy I knew of was a public domain version w/no widescreen and horrid color. Thanks for the heads-up.

Phase IV is a great movie, if you can find a decent copy. Kingdon of the Spiders is one of the better 70's B-horror movies out there. There's some good acting and directing, hell, Steve Zaillian edited the thing. The sense of foreboding and tragedy is palpable in a few scenes, esp. when Shatner finds his brother's…

Nice MST3K reference…
…at the top.

My take: Non-union equivalent B.J. Novak, Burt Reynolds, Steven Spielberg. On the right side: Non-union equivalent Aishwarya Rai, Giovanni Ribisi.

The guy on the far right, too. Looks like they weren't directing the extras well that day.

In 15 minutes, they will come to take Adam Warlock into the zone to become the Magus.

Guy, have you seen the Car Talk cartoon on PBS? Not bad.

PHC is a fucking work of art. Period. Maybe his most underrated film, besides Popeye. And Popeye kicks ass, too, regardless of what you've heard — one of the weirdest mainstream films ever.

My problem with the film is that up until Hawke's return from his dad's funeral at the end, he's one of the most unlikable characters in film history. And even then, his turnaround is all for the plot's sake, not the character's. Regardless of Stiller's intentions, he comes across as a much nicer guy than Hawke, but…

Dennis Potter
His last interview, as he's dying of cancer and swigging morphine to keep himself conscious, is one of the most amazing things ever. Watching that, and then his last two finished works — Karaoke and Cold Lazarus — is a stunning look at the way the dying attempt to organize their lives.

OK, Dumbledore, made me spit my coffee out with that one. Nice.

Deela, by the way…
… was played by Darren McGavin's wife.

Sorry, Claude. I accidentally insulted an amazing song and songwriter.

They've been commenting on a poem Ryan O'Neal's character wrote years ago, where he tries to rhyme the two words. When Stiller next sees O'Neal, he asks him the question above, gets O'Neal to pronounce the two words, and then says the line slightly further above.
