The fact that this is called "Saw at Sea", when it obviously should have been called "SeaSaw", makes me so angry that I am embarrassed by how angry I am.

Son of a BITCH! Since we got rid of cable, we get all sorts of weird local channels via HD antenna, and one of them is ME, which is like TV Land, but, you know, free, and awesome. So i've been watching a lot of "Rockford Files" these last few weeks, and just two weeks or so ago I turn to the wife, and I say "They…
Fair enough.
So, I get to work this morning, open up the ol' AV Club for some chuckles while I eat my apple, read this thing, and now WHICH ONE OF YOU ASSHOLES IS GOING TO GIVE ME A HUG?
YES! You are absolutely correct, and I later became a huge Redd Kross fan via totally different routes. Of course, RK's "Annie's Gone" was a blast of punky power pop, whereas BrentisAngry's "Annie's Gone" was more of a barbershop quartet sort of…well, it was just terrible, is what it was.
Before my folks got cable, I watched a lot of movies on the local UHF channel. During the summers I would watch Carson at 11:35, Letterman at 12:35, then usually "The Honeymooners" or "MASH" or some such shit at 1:30, then switch over to Channel 41 at 2:00am for The Late Movie, which was followed at 4:00am by The Late…
I am a huge fan of Romero, but while I think "Season of the Witch" is definitely an underappreciated gem, I think "Vanilla" is a rightly-forgotten turd.
When I was 19 I got a tattoo of Lum on my left inner forearm. That was…16 years ago. When I got it, my mother said "What if you don't always like that cartoon?" And I said "I will ALWAY like flying chicks in tiger-striped bikinis with blue hair." And while my love of anime died off many years ago, I was right about…
Have been considering both a Bettie Page AND an Ingrid Pitt tattoo for years. WIth Bettie it's difficult to pic one. I always leaned towards one of Dave Stevens drawings, as well as one of Bill Wray's from the cover of "The Betty Pages".
BINGO! I couldn't believe how boring this movie was. I consider myself a fan of superior trash, and I was prepared to get a hoot out of "Human Centipede". Couldn't believe what a snooze it was. The idea always seems to turn people's stomachs, but the actual movie is pretty tame.
I was skeptical going into this piece, but the shout out to "Binky" officially sealed my approval. Consider me on board for the duration. Absolutely my favorite American band (favorite all time band is probably still The Clash), I can definitely relate to feeling like you had to stick around for the ups and downs.…
Bob is just about one of my favorite people ever. Great way to start my morning, thanks!
Truth. Dave is always at his best when openly airing his contempt for showbiz phoniness. I remember watching the Oscar telecast and thinking it was the best I'd ever seen. Always thought Dave got a raw deal with the critical reaction.
Agreed. Even the best 3-D does nothing for me, outside of the occasional amusement park ride. I'd gladly trade the dimmed picture, the extra expense and the uncomfortable glasses for a nice, clean, non-3D print. To this extent, I'd happily pay for NON-3D IMAX movies all day long. A really beautiful IMAX print looks…
Came to this thread looking for Palin Cunt. Leaving disappointed.
Oh man, I had the EXACT same experience. High Fidelity was incredibly, almost spookily apt for my life and the way I was handling relationships at the time.
I spent most of the weekend watching college hoops (as Conference Tournament week signaled the beginning of the Most Wonderful Time of the Year), but I did take time to watch "John Carter", which I liked, goddamnitalltohell. My review and carping on how Disney fucked up and some pretty Frank Frazetta pics are here:

When I was a single man, it was important to me that the girls I dated share my passions for film and music. I didn't really think much about whether or not the girl in question would like the movie we were going to see, I just knew that I would probably like the movie, and if she didn't like it too, she probably…
Logged in just to second this! The original Venom is emblematic of everything I hated about 90's Marvel comics, but I absolutely love the current Venom book, and if you discard the actual Spider-Man continuity, the central concept of the book is fairly "cinematic".
I've been watching all of the SW flicks with my wife, who has never seen them before, and we did Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones a week or two ago. Just throwing my two cents in with the others who cited Ewan's performance as one of the few bright spot, and I heartily agree with the others who said that…
