"Bret! You're a Dew Bender!"

Oh boy, a Tales From the Crypt Newswire! I'll make a comment like the Cryptkeeper and everyone will love me at last!

I know shaking manhattans and martinis is frowned on, but sometimes I like that like foamy bits of ice you get at the top of the drink. Especially this time of year.

I agree. That's part of why I'm so annoyed with him in that movie. He's so different later in the film from that opening scene. Scorcese seems to have completely lost control of him midshoot.

Nicholson's performance ruined the movie for me.

I was actually underwhelmed by Bourne Identity. I came around on the second one but it lost major points for all too predictably killing of Potente's character almost immediately. I actually like the third one quite a bit and that one may be my favorite.

How is it possible to be bored by a movie with a bald Matthew McConaughey swinging a battleaxe around and dragons fighting helicopters? Somehow Reign of Fire found a way.

I believe there was an article about that last scene on the AVClub (Scenic Routes?).

I've seen the Dark Knight several times in several formats, and for the life of me I still have no idea what's going on in that fight with all the cops towards the end of the movie.

He also clearly hits Bane in his mask a couple times in their various fights, but then suddenly that's what defeats him in their final go round.

Sum of All Fears seemed to be the first movie that said it was okay to blow up US cities again. That nuke attack, there was some hesitancy with it, but it got a pass from audiences.

I didn't see it, but you could tell the next day at school who had watched it, because they had a despairing thousand yard stare all day.

"Spectacle" is the right word for it. I remember seeing it opening weekend and thinking they don't make movies on this scale and scope anymore.

It's a happy surprise to see them embracing OK Computer's anniversary like this.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Men aren't allowed to see it!

Hold on, let me get my shorts and black dress socks on.

Hopefully they had a good sound system so you could involuntary wet yourself like everyone in my audience did the first time the T-Rex roared.

This scene really is perfection. I thought my heart was going to explode out of my chest the first time I saw it.

No way. It's got to be a blast being a republican. Lie with impunity. Tear down something you hate. Project any fear or failing you have onto Democrats. Calling anyone who opposes you an unAmerican traitor. Scream media bias if you ever get called on any of the above. Hell, just beat the shit out of anyone who calls

Ahem. Six. We're rebooting King Arthur next year to get the franchise back on track. Marketing research said that the Richie version wasn't dark and gritty enough.
