Before I read this thread, I'm going to state that the guy helping Theon escape is The Bastard of Bolton.

Of course, who would know that Max would be the beginning of John Cusack's downfall as he went from actor known for playing adorable goofy losers like Lloyd Dobbler and Rob Gordon to the guy with the particularly obnoxious twitter feed with all the conspiracy theories.

I just remembered that I found that out when AV Club wrote an article on Head On, her legitimate movie premiere - I think it was for New Cult Canon. 

At the time, every movie aimed at teenagers was like Fast Times at Ridgemont High but awful. It took years to separate the chaff from the dross (I am almost certain that I am totally messing up that metaphor).

Actually my favorite bad review was Gene Siskel's SECOND bad review of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls - calling the original review the review that haunted Ebert more than his two-star dismissal of A Clockwork Orange.

I never liked Pauline Kael. I always put her in the category of the pretentious film critics.

I suppose we all know that the actress who plays Tyrion's prostitute girlfriend was once in porn?

Well yeah. The carbohydrates keep everything in. So Atkins was basically inviting heart attacks and shits.

Eh. Kind of. That was at a time when we could buy Will Smith as just a street kid trying to con his way into good society as opposed to now when we know him as the nice guy that everyone pretty much likes even if he is richer and smarter and more talented than us.

Apparently, The Clint Eastwood Clause means that an actor cannot forcibly fire a director if the actor doesn't like where the movie is going. This was after The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Schultz really did stand in for the audience that was horrified by slavery. Django hates it but he knows it. So he can watch a slave get torn apart by dogs and keep his cool.

Nah. He's just honest. Damn, it's hard to hate Will Smith.

Oh for the days when Korine was with Larry Clark and their shitty movies could be called important meditations on a world gone wrong.

And then the man's relatives kill all the girl's relatives in one of the earliest genocides in human history. Yay!

No Ed Kramer/DragonCon jokes?

All praise to Boner's dad.

But she's totally going to be the chosen one and there's that relationship that the character has got going with Ivanova which….oh.

He's the one that sounds like a background singer in Grease who is also dead.

Zack gets a pretty good storyline in season 3 as the one guy in the secret spy network who feels conflicted. Then he just gets annoying.

Normally I would write Troll, but that's pretty much waht's happening here.
