…s Have Eyes…

I saw Event Horizon 20 years ago, and remember almost nothing about it, other than it was a lot gorier than the trailers let on.

I actually remember an entire sequence from that film, even though it has to have been 25 years since I saw part of it on Cinemax. Dempsey is convinced to stick a long, foiled-wrapped sausage down his pants, which of course, impresses the girl he's going out with that evening. So, the Dempsey and the girl are making

Shrek the Third, 2007's textbook example of a forgotbuster, managed to edge out Transformers domestically, as well

Stuff like this makes me so glad I'm Southern Baptist.

There's enough plausible deniability here that Comrade President might be able to skate free. Under normal circumstances, the president would cut ties with the parties involved. It's a bit more complicated when the parties are your son and son-in-law, though. There might be a lot of intense pressure to officially

I haven't seen any good reviews of it (granted, I've only seen a few, but they've all been bad). If reviews had been even halfway decent, I probably would have DVRed it, but I'm giving it a pass.

USA did something similar about 15 years ago or so…they grabbed the rights to a bunch of one or two-season sitcoms from NBC and Fox and stripped them 5 days a week. And then, when they'd run through the entire series in a month, they'd just start right back over. I think they had stuff like Fired Up, The Naked

I'm pretty sure that when the Dems take back both houses of Congress and the White House, they'll be fine with ignoring the Republicans as much as possible. "Thanks, Mitch, for this roadmap in passing this through budget reconciliation!"

That's probably true, actually. Her 90s output was modest at best. Co-starring in this hypothetical BvS would actually have been her biggest role by far between The Rocketeer and Requiem for a Dream.

I'm sure it's a reason, but I suspect it's a minor reason. I suspect the primary reason is that there is still a lot of fear that audiences won't find an openly gay actor in a straight role "believable". That stigma is fading (Neil Patrick Harris, for example, has mostly played straight characters—at least in movies

That's not at all what I meant. Let me try to clarify.

Exactly. And Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman's names would definitely be on the poster as well…ahead of Jennifer Connelly's, unless they're getting the "with" and "and" billings.

Even better, see the show live. A local theater company put on Part 1 last year, and I was blown away by it. Unfortunately, their plans to put on Part 2 in November ended up having to be postponed until next year.

They probably could have, but to be fair, it's an extremely demanding part in an extremely demanding play, and while its title and reputation probably would have been enough to sell tickets, having some star power wouldn't hurt. Besides, the other major name actor in the show, Nathan Lane, is openly gay.

She's not a great actress, but she's been solid elsewhere (Groundhog Day, Short Cuts). I even liked her in Hudson Hawk. So why she was so awful in Four Weddings is a mystery.

No, but he is getting up there (he's 76). According to IMDB, he was in Fantastic Beasts, but I don't remember him at all.

Grease has fantastic music wrapped around one of the worst storylines imaginable. They love each other! They hate each other! They love each other! They hate each other! She does a complete 180 and they love each other! The End!

Exactly. Lord knows I look back at my teenage self and wonder why the hell my parents put up with me.

It's a shame they didn't put up the Geostorm trailer in Coming Distractions, because that thing is batshit insane. I know it's going to be beyond awful (the 46 or so different release dates its had is a pretty good tipoff), but it looks like it could be awful in a so-bad-it's-good way. I'm not going to waste any
