I'll bet Mr. Adams has never ever heard a joke about his name up to this point.

JonBenet
I thought only Larry King still cared about JonBenet Ramsey.

Then, why did you give it a " D"?

What is wrong with this film?
Two words: John Goodman. Not that he's necessarily a horrible actor, but the kind of movie that would cast John Goodman is the kind of movie headed toward fiasco.

Watcher in the Woods
There's a totally stupid movie, a Disney movie no less called The Watcher in the Woods. The 'horror' aspect concerns a girl who was accidentally killed when a huge fucking church bell crashed down onto her. She was blindfolded and her friends were chanting some mumbo jumbo around her. Anyway,…

My thoughts exactly, Melissa. Now I just have to convince the wife who usually prefers romantic comedies starring Hugh Grant to go to this with me.

Dear abby
I love how Tasha is becoming the Dear Abby of the AV Club set. There's been advice to Joe11 on meeting people (Don't be a jerk) and advice on spoilers (seriously, don't be a jerk).

dumb question
So, the film was originally completed in 2001 but is only enjoying wider release now, 7 years later?

Both of these?

I think Rupert and Lindsay's interaction perfectly shows two defining characteristics of each other's cultures: American arrogance and British condescension.

equus
Believe it or not, Equus is a well-respected and challenging play performed at established theater venues. It was even adapted into a film by Sidney Lumet. The parents quoted in the article above who were so disappointed in Daniel for appearing in it should realize that children's movies don't represent the apex…

Gender issues
I don't know how to say this without seeming sexist so here goes: I wonder if Tasha was particularly sensitive to the fact that Spurlock is essentially abandoning his pregnant wife because she is a woman. It's not a criticism but let me just say that I'm a married man and have my first kid on the way as…

Yes, it's definitely a non-sensical phrase, but since you get the meaning of it and it's not going anywhere, I suggest you let this one go and move on.

a broad cross-section of people
From a soft-spoken horse trainer with multiple sclerosis to a wheelchair-bound perfectionist…

What makes Scorcese even more amazing is that the first surviving film was recorded in 1888.

I hate it when people correct my ill-informed knee jerk opinions. It really makes me feel stupid.

Front and Center
Adding to the appearance that actors turned musicians are just desperate attention whores is the fact that they never are in a band, they are always the band. You never go to a show and hear some musicians perform and then realize, "Hey that's Bruce Willis back there on the drums, I almost didn't…

Troll
Uwe Boll is the troll of the film world. He thrives on negative attention. Don't sign this petition. Ignore him and he'll go away.

his photo
I like the way his photo looks like it was taken with a friend's digital camera, as opposed to being an actual "headshot".

Or, sometimes people will say, "tangy as silk." Either way, it's basically the same thing.
