I'm one of the two people who paid to see TPM in 3D. I'm still not sure why.

In the future, when my friends mock me for being a technological caveman who is still obsessed with shiny discs (this comes up more frequently than you might think) I will just point them to this article, which makes all of my arguments for me, particularly about my pet peeve, which is picture quality: when I watch a…

Also being a huge ADF & Alien fan, I really enjoyed his novelizations as a kid. Not sure how they would hold up now. I DO remember his "Alien 3" making a lot more sense than the movie itself did.  Of course he was working from the original script, and not the butchered theatrical film version, where entire characters…

THIS. I loved BTTF so much as a kid that I recall buying this novelization at the school book fair, reading that intro and being TOTALLY confused.

As soon as I saw the name "Sam Neill" I thought "They'd better talk about 'Possession'". Absolutely one of my favorite flicks, and he's brilliant in it. Keep up the good work, these Random Roles have quickly become my favorite feature on AVClub.

I always appreciate a T&E interview where they aren't in character, so this was actually informative and really great stuff. Well done.

Nice Lea Thompson story: I saw Lea as Sally Bowles in a touring production of "Cabaret" when it came to town. It was her first night on the tour and she was really great. Waited around afterwards and got a poster autographed by everyone in the cast.  She was really nice and sweet and gracious and everything you could…

I've always thought that Golden didn't get enough credit for paving the way for Art Adams, who paved the way for McFarlane and the Image ilk that followed in his wake.

One of the last of the legends.

What would have been a quick and easy dismissal has been rendered a "Uh…I might take a look at it" by the presence of Darwyn Cooke, and to a lesser extent, Adam Hughes doing interiors on a book again.

Great interview.  Not someone I would have immediately expected to see in an AV Club interview, which made it a very pleasant surprise…which is what I tend to like about AV Club.

I drove up to Cinci to catch a Mescaleroes show because I was fairly certain he'd never make it down to Louisville (and he didn't).  The show was terrific and afterwords we made it backstage to talk to him and even smoke up with him. He could not have been cooler. So friendly, engaging, down to earth and easy to talk…

Same here. He did a two night stand at a tiny little club in town about two years ago, tix were something crazy cheap like $8. Went to both nights, stood about three feet away from him while he killed it on that tiny stage. Such a great, intimate set of shows.  Since then he's come back through again once, but I will…

I went to see this movie on opening night with two of my friends. We were the only three people in the theater, which I guess wasn't that unusual, considering how hard it bombed.  I always thought it was a shame that it didn't connect, because I thought it was an incredibly original movie and a ton of fun.

I don't understand the hipster revival, but I was similarly pleased to see them not getting torn down in the comments. I have loved Hall & Oates completely unironically ever since I received "Big Bam Boom" on cassette long, long ago on a fine Christmas morn'.  Whether it's hipsterish, ironic, sarcastic, or whatever,…

Had a chance to meet Doug at DragonCon a couple of years ago, and he is delightful in person, and incredibly warm and generous with his fans.  Seems truly appreciative. Be warned: he will touch you. A lot. With his hands. Personally, I didn't mind.
