One more beer recommendation: Wild Blue blueberry lager is a good one, at $8 for a 6-pack, 8% ABV. It's so smooth that it takes a couple to realize how strong it is, and it is well worth the extra couple of dollars over your standard 6-pack.

I like how Rabin's rebuttal was completely ignored in favor of beer talk. But, seriously, Nathan, I'm not your biggest fan, but I didn't have a problem with the tone of your article, or of Sean O'Neal's either. You both did a fine job of summarizing things, misogyny-free, in my opinion.

I never saw a Yuengling, though I had heard of it from a friend who was from PA, in NC until about 8 years ago, but now it's pretty easy to find up and down the east coast. I don't know about points west. I agree that Yuengling is the best for quality-to-cost ratio, but if you want to get trashed cheaply, Steel…

I could also go for a straight-up sequel, but I'm afraid that they would make it into some ridiculous GREMLINS 3-D!!! cash-in that would be much like the bastardization that everyone thought of when I mentioned a remake. Obviously, they could do that with a remake, but something about already having the number 3 in…

"A new one would have niftier effects, yeah. But they'd also waste so much fucking time with the goddamned CGI Gremlins that the rest of the movie would go to shit around them…as is the case with pretty much every genre movie made in the last ten years"

If it were done well,
I'd really enjoy a Gremlins remake, what with '80s special effects leaving a bit to be desired.

I always enjoy reading reviews after watching a movie, too, and comparing what different critics have to say. I certainly don't watch particular pictures just for comparing them to reviews, but it is a fun part of the after-movie experience.

Fuck you, Fat Guy. Just, fuck you.

I would prefer
a full-length remake of the "Lover's Vow" segment from the Tales from the Dark Side movie, in which Rae Dawn Chong plays a murderess gargoyle that marries James Remar.

"Cancelled" from Season 7 would be a nice pick, as it seems even more timely now that the airwaves are completely saturated with reality tv.

My personal favorite was the episode of My Two Dads in which the titular dads got drunk and played a video game that involved driving to demonstrate to their daughter how incapable an intoxicated person is of driving safely, all in an effort to convince her to no longer ride as a passenger with her drunk friends.

I love the beginning of that episode.

P.S. Tasha, please consider bringing back Book Vs. Film. That is what first brought me to this site, and I do long for it.

I had completely forgotten that. State Trooper is a great song, much better than the movie it inspired.

He's also a good singer. His version of Guantanamera is exquisite.

What I love is that there is more story in his introduction of the setting of most of his novels than in multiple works by the average published author. Once he introduces you to this marvelously complex setting, he uses it to put his characters in situations that produce unforgettable conflicts, pushes the characters…

That's not quite the conclusion I came to by the end of Ubik. I'm not sure Dick himself understood that one very well. I thought The Man in the High Tower made sense throughout. I loved The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch, but that one was pretty slippery, though not as much as Ubik. Dick later said of Palmer…

My vote is to resurrect Robert Goulet to play Dr. Strange.

Mr. Pendleton is quite right.
