As I heard someone put it, Korine's oeuvre is him metaphorically sticking his fingers up his butt, pulling them out and trying to shove them in peoples' faces and telling them THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH when they understandably recoil.

I'd go ahead and say get rid of Friends. Partly because Friends' success, while doubtlessly profitable for NBC and enjoyable for its massive fanbase, did play a part in ushering in the rotten era of sitcoms audiences of the late 1990s and early 2000s had to endure. They would be spared the thousands of Friends…

Just movie-wise, we could get rid of Batman Forever, while we were at it. Not until Batman & Robin would so much be spent and done in the name of gratingly over the top knowing campiness. Plus there'd be no Batman & Robin, so…

The various defenses of Showgirls I've seen, especially the "It's BRILLIANT satire, actually" ones piss me off too. It seems sometimes, there's more and more of that sort of affected contrarian scraping of the bottom of the pop-cultural barrel, where yesterday's just plain terrible movies and tv series and comics, and…

You'll see both of these techniques in his next collaboration with Kevin Hart, Two Loud Guys

With the presence of Enrico Colantoni, one can pretend this was an early weird phase in the life of Carl Elias.

I do remember The Marshal with Jeff Fahey - a pretty solid crime show. The one episode that immediately comes to mind is the one where Fahey's character had just run into a grocery store to pick some things up, then a trio of would-be robbers led by Pruitt Taylor-Vince try to heist the place, it goes south, and then…

Just….nope.
The band photos, even in the little thumbnails, reveal various degrees of obnoxious beard design and shitty sleeve tats and wormy guys who look like they'd have trouble doing a single push-up before collapsing in a wheezing, trembling heap.

This is great, in 70mm the self-indulgence and suckiness of a Tarantino feature will come in even clearer.

"BEEP BOOP WHY CAN'T SILLY CHARACTERS BE AS RATIONAL AS I AM" enraged nerds demand

By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth! By the mystic Moons of Munnpoor! By the dread Vipers of Valtorr! By the Sons of Satannish! By the Pustulating Puscifers of Pitononiva! By the Rancid Rages of Rancout eating spareribs with a bib in a motorcycle sidecar!

Except for some bits Copycat is a bit too much like every other serial killer crime story released in the 1990s in the wake of Silence of the Lambs, seemingly trying to top previous entries with their diabolical murdering masterminds - Connick is pretty memorable in his role, though he comes off as genuinely scuzzy as…

I'd seen the failed pilot/TV movie LA Takedown sometime before I saw "Heat" and it's very Michael Mann even with it's TV budget and limitations. It is mildly interesting to watch this rougher, earlier version of what would be the basis for Heat.

Yes, I like to have a physical copy of a movie, just in case.

How many times did anyone come across copies of L.P. in used CD bins - in the late nineties and early Aughties I often found it sharing space in said bins alongside various other pieces of 90s detritus - the leftovers of the the early 90s Alterna-sploision; the CDs of various "grunge-by-numbers" groups; numerous…

"'ello dearie, let's hack the planet, eh wot?"

I know a guy who scammed BMG Music Club out of several albums via fake names and then some representatives showed up one day, forced their way into his house and after they left he was found with a garrote wrapped around his neck, the wire sliced almost down to his spine.
Alright, come to think of it, I don't think he…

Anyone remember this Zelda TV ad, huh?

I was a teen at the time and I found Reality Bites to be insufferable. I saw it with in the theater with a group of friends and we were split, about half thought it was a great film and the rest of us thought the only thing that could have improved it would have been Hawke's character having something gruesome happen…
