There's a little hint of her twinkle-in-the-eye crazy in Tremors. I'd love to see her run with it.

Even at the time of the original movie, I rationalized the reason for the less-than-inconspicuous Schwarzenegger as the fact that the living meat shell had to cover a large, bulky robot (the other T-800 shown in flashback is played by Schwarzenegger's body-building buddy, Franco Columbu). That model was…

He was not only a good host on camera, but I've heard that he exercised a little influence behind the scenes — insisting on some threshold of credibility to the fringier paranormal alleged experiences they covered.

Alas, Henry Silva is also dead…

Well, it sounds cheap and cheesy — like lower-tier '80s action soundtrack music trying to emulate Carpenter, et al. — or maybe a techno-evolution from '60s/'70s giallo music. Analyzing it much more than that seems like navel-gazing.

My mom drove a '57 Chevy Bel Air when I was a little kid, circa 1968. We lived at the time in an old house by a creek that flooded regularly, and on one occasion the water rose to over the car's seat level. After the flood receded, it started on the first attempt. So, indeed it apparently was tougher.

Reba'd be fine as the sheriff, but I'd like to see her go against type as congenial-but-insane-southern-gothic-matriarch.

Another would have been the bear from The Revenant finally getting to dispute DiCaprio's version of the story…

Admiral Sir Edward is definitely going into the genealogy I use for my Bob's Burgers fan fiction.

So, I understand FDR installing his "privacy panel", but I wonder why it has a door, as seen above. Perhaps so that an assistant could remove dropped objects without having to move the President?

…tries to imagine Beyonce and Gaddafi's date at the Red Lobster…

I shovel well. I shovel very well.

I think that bathroom scene, possibly together with the enema scene, was the root of Glenn's dislike of the movie — his generation still having quaint notions of dignity.

Some plants are "dioecious", meaning they come in male and female varieties, while most have bisexual flowers, or a mix of unisexual flowers on the same plant. Who knows what variations are possible with an alien plant.

Rommel was always struggling to get supplies up to the front, which was a large part of how the Axis ultimately got driven out of North Africa, so the idea of a Fellini movie filming in the middle of that is doubly jaw-dropping. The making of Knights of the Desert sounds like a good setting for some sort of epic…

I can see that sort of crap just sucking away one's enthusiasm for a project, though it's a pity the interview footage alone hasn't been made available on You Tube or something.

That low budget also meant that the suburbia they were in was pretty depopulated, and Skeletor's anti-gravity barge and company of stormtroopers goes unnoticed by the police, or even curious neighbors.

I remember seeing it in a theater when it was originally released and being pleasantly surprised by it — semi-intentionally very funny, and even kind of involving as an action movie. Langella's ham-tastic performance is key, and really energizes the whole thing.

Well, I don't see it as merely "a woman's rape as a character growth point for a man" — their specific relationship was all-important. A factor in Theon's breakdown was his self-loathing over having betrayed the Starks, and dwelling on the irrevocability of his crimes. His more-or-less adoptive sister being…

Exactly. I can see their point in a lot of other contexts and genres, but I dont think the shock value rape in Game of Thrones really stands out that much over the shock value everything else.
