By Wes Craven standards, RED EYE actually WAS a big-budget epic.

This is why Mr. Mxy (I am NOT going to try and spell that whole name this early in the morning) was such an enduring villian back in the day; no amount of super-power has any effect on that guy at ALL.; heck, conventional logic and science don't even phase him. Supes basically had to beat him by playing his own silly

Well, they're no BLACK SABBATH.

Fun Fact: the comedy ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY is an actual, no-foolin' sequel to IWWAZ.
  (not a GOOD one- and not one Val Lewton would have approved of- but it IS directly connected, with a couple of the same characters)

yeah, you're wrong.
  Oh, it's got it's flaws, but it's pretty much essential viewing for the serious horror fan.

I've always thought of THE SHIELD as a "shock drama" (in the sense of "shock comedy", where your reaction is 'I cannot BELIEVE they just did that")
  But the REAL power of this approach is the way they use it to advance the serial nature of the drama; it's never JUST "I cannot BELIEVE they did that"- it's always

I'm surprised it wasn't included as a special feature on the dvd/blu-ray. I'd like to see it myself someday.

[ it plays like a heavily condensed season of an amazing cop show,]

I bow to no one in my love of Hartman, but Ackroyd  (perhaps BECAUSE he worked so close with Belushi) is almost criminally underrated.
 I'd trade every single second of Chevy's Gerald Ford for that one bit where Ackroyd as Jimmy Carter talks a guy down from a bad acid trip.

Well, there's a reason he became a star; he's just goddamn charismatic.(And he and Ackroyd brought out the best in each other; they were probably the best "double-act" in the history of the show,)

To be fair to Chevy, he was only SUPPOSED to be on the show for one season (his contract, for reasons no one agrees on, was short term; he apparently never considered SNL as a major commitment- perhaps he just didn't have faith in the show's longevity, which would have been totally understandable at that time).

“Come on people! A guy in a weird suit with two polar bears can’t be hard to spot!”

I love Moss more than… well, some other things that I also love, I guess.(sandwiches, maybe; perhaps certain kinds of birds.)
   But Richard Ayoade will always be Dean Lerner to me.

I maintain that if The Muppets had been given good material, they would have worked… although that may have  meant turning them into something other than "Muppets". 
  Perhaps something along the lines of SPITTING IMAGE, although with a more playful, less grotesque attitude.  Or maybe use them as a comment on the rest

Um, amarynth ,… THEY'VE ALREADY GOT HIM.

I recall seeing a (non-coked out) Heather Thomas on Letterman once; she was sort of bitchy, but in a charming way ( when asked who her fanbase was , she said something along the lines of "inmates and losers, but at least the inmates had ambition".
  I got the sense of someone who was MUCH too smart for her job, but

Yvonne Craig as Batgirl, Julie Newmar as Catwoman, and- most of all- Diana Rigg as the one-and-only Mrs. Emma Peel.

Ironically enough, Joel Schumacher is the only director of a Batman film to have actually read any Batman comics before getting the assignment.
  He's lavished praise on B:TAS… while, ironically, that show has mocked him openly on-air (in the episode "Legends of the Dark Knight").

Well, Arnie had a couple of good directors on those films you mention.

Thought the movie was only so/so, but Russell's performance WAS really striking.
  It's as if he looked at Arnie and Van Damme playing cyborg-types and thought "no, being a robot is no excuse for bad acting; there's a CHARACTER there, PLAY IT".
  It's a recurring theme in STAR TREK, with Spock, Data, and others. I
