Hear, hear!

Thank you for mentioning Hesher!  It's one thing to make a movie on the basis of a quirky anti-hero, it's another thing to constantly cream your pants deliriously while providing absolutely nothing for your audience to enjoy.  That turd was enough to make one's blood boil in its blandness.

"THAT'S WHERE GOD LIVES!"

Yes, but it is evidence of the potential of batshit insanity, which, when married with the right kind of Cage, can lead to extraordinary results.

I was really offput by how dark it was.  There was much more "I've ruined my life with my obstinacy and don't want to continue living or at the very least am comfortable committing to a shameful existence of severely lowered expectations" than I'm really comfortable with in my goofy sex romps.  Especially goofy sex…

AHEM - I proudly celebrate the mayhem of Hot Rod - and while I'll chance no support on this board, I happily show it to anyone who'll give me 93 minutes of their time, and have enjoyed great success in finding like-minded converts, no less.

I didn't know she drove race cars.

@avclub-63706c2231765ca840e9a60a76fae00a:disqus , the major difference though, is that the provocative, thoughtful films of the 70's were the driving force in the market, while they proved to be anomalies in the 00's (anomalies from reliable filmmakers, sure, but, still films that had to struggle to breathe in the…

See it.  Don't let any off-putting stills or poorly-conceived tv spots drive you away.  In fact, don't look any more press for it.  The less you know going in, the better.  But make no mistake, it's a great time at the movies.

Agreed.  They totally set the tone in the first two minutes by flipping the bus a half dozen times, saying everybody survived, and never looking back.  That movie was way better than it had any business being, well-paced, silly as shit, and enormously rewatchable.

Thor… more like Snor!

I can't say I'm experienced in any way, shape, or form, but I don't think it makes any difference with a lizard whether you pull out or not.

"Anyone looking for great films in 2011 didn't have to look very far."

Psssst - @avclub-5a16063e7a84c380b03027de2888bcef:disqus  - It's an ironic choice to defend Malick by suggesting his attackers "bring something else to it."  Kind of a weak defense for a guy who's arguably made a four decade-six movie career by following the one formula of beautiful scenic shots + reflective narration…

I think I'm in the background of this season's episode where Zeke does the ED commercial.  Behind the scenes scenes = rolling on the crew to beef up the extras count.  Also, the guy playing the director is the fuckwit that did the Black Keys "Howling for You" video.  Mediocrity in action!

Leaving Las Vegas, Raising Arizona, Adaptation, Weather Man, The Rock, Wild at Heart, Port of Call: New Orleans, Matchstick Men, Bringing Out the Dead, Red Rock West…

Does Mrs. Fisticuffs smoke pot?  Because a little herb and a packed house of the San Fernando Valley's finest cheap-assed stoners made Your Highness tolerable (we caught it the last night of its one week run at the $3 cinema), but no, I wouldn't ever dare call either movie "good".

@avclub-4192ae6cd25a066cf7e97e2d732f4c3e:disqus , I remember that fateful day I pissed away a couple hours watching Juno, and remember being just… angry… in the theater.  There were moments that worked, sure, but the entire movie seemed to stand as a clotheline for Diablo Cody to provide her "LOOK AT ME - UNIQUE…

I'm the farthest thing from any kinda beautiful unique snowflake, but I must say I've been tragically disappointed that noone's ever recognized my Los Pollos Hermanos t-shirt.  NEVER FORGET.

Yeah, Pineapple Express is wildly uneven.  I get the gag that McBride should be dead, several times over, but keeps on surviving, but it's a joke that's totally cut off at the ankles by the fact that most of their cast has a number of false deaths by the movie's end: Craig Robinson, Franco, Rosie Perez, even Seth…
