No surprise to fans of Kelly's Heroes, though that's a more comedic role.

Beats dying slowly in the trunk of an old Chevy. At least there's a view. And the wind in your hair.

It misses the point because it was kind of thoughtlessly repurposed for the movie. John Parr and David Foster (who composed the score for St. Elmo's Fire) had originally written it as a sort of theme song for a paralympic wheelchair racer. I'm not sure what made Foster think it was appropriate for the movie, beyond "I…

But back before social media we could pretend otherwise…

Question: Is Chuck related to Jack Palance?

Frankly, if I must be the victim of a crime, I'd rather it be at the hands of colorful, accented mutants than drab domestic sociopaths.

They're a form, but they're much lighter on the masturbatory links to content-free crap and pictures of our lunches.

I has its humorous moments (though I think the original did as well), but I really found that one of the more harrowing horror movies I've seen — None of the characters are safe (it's really the Game of Thrones of monster movies), and the damn thing can be anywhere and everywhere.

Actually, my first thought was that they're remaking the '88 remake, with Jackson playing the role originated by Joe Seneca, though that might weaken the plot twist, inasmuch as I think Jackson's too recognizable and "distinctive" to pull off the warm and grandfatherly early part of the role.

…developers abandoned work on the series after pledging their souls to
Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. Either that, or they ran afoul of the Mi-Go
or some Elder God.

Phineas: "Yes. Yes it does."

It's high time Jane Curtin got signed for the reboot!

I always thought Back to the Future II was pretty insightful — Biff as school bully was a petty terror. Biff with resources and influence was flat-out evil. The character himself wasn't fundamentally different.

There's gotta be some irony in that. As far as I know, nobody was ranting against the Turks in the '30s except the Greeks and Armenians. I think anti-Turkish German racism only really developed in the last quarter of the 20th century as Turkish immigration to Germany picked up.

Hitler should feel more dangerous than he does here

I don't know how hands-on he was regarding the synthetic fuel program, and I think it had been in the works since well before he came to power. Most of the public works stuff was too, though social welfare was a major part of the Party platform. Of course, the primary public works program in the Nazi era was the armed…

I wish to fund your Kickstarter for a talkshow where a grizzly bear host eats the guests each week…

But his Schwartz is as big as Vader's…

I think it retains the advantage of being easily "tweakable" — When Godzilla stomped on an HO scale Tokyo, it was much harder to, for example, retroactively change the direction of the lighting.

With Valkyrie they sort of "faded" from German into English, which didn't seem especially necessary to me, since English language films set in non-English speaking times and places are a pretty common thing. I guess they could have doctored The 13th Warrior to pretend that Ibn Fadlan spoke Norse all along, but the…
