Con Air also has that rather disturbing subplot with Steve Buscemi as the world's sweetest, nicest, friendliest child molester, along with the queasy scene where he has a tea party with the tiny little girl who is inexplicably hanging around a junkyard. Really…why make the child molester the sympathetic comic relief?

I think the fact that the initial cut of As Good As It Gets was roughly 4 hours long accounts for a lot of the disjointedness, particularly with Greg Kinnear's storyline and the disappearing characters within (both Cuba Gooding Jr. and Yeardley Smith vanish about halfway through the film). I also don't buy that Helen…

At least he had a better take on it than the dork a few reviews down who gave it a dismissive B- and complained that nothing interesting happened between the two Poochie cartoons. I hope wherever that dork is today, he's going to get fired for that.

He was reposting them on the old classic Simpsons reviews. Since those ended, this is the first chance he's gotten to bring them back.

Deadspin…where have I heard that name before…Oh no…oh no!!!!

Here's the highest opening new release of every weekend during Titanic's run after the opening:
As Good As It Gets
N/A (no wide releases New Year's weekend)
Good Will Hunting (going into wide release after limited Oscar run)
Fallen
Spice World
Great Expectations
The Replacement Killers
The Wedding Singer
Senseless
Dark City
U.S.…

Home Alone's run was undoubtedly helped by the fact that the 1990 holiday season didn't produce much in terms of quality (at least among wide releases), but it did beat several highly hyped sequels (The Rescuers Down Under, Rocky V, Three Men and a Little Lady, Predator 2, Look Who's Talking Too, Godfather III) as…

After that, dueling Travoltas, old and new, with Primary Colors having a disappointing opening, and then the re-release of Grease finishing only about $2.5 million behind Titanic, in its final weekend at #1.

Here you go.

I think Pearl Harbor kind of killed it. Of course, given that all Michael Bay and company did was pour Titanic, Saving Private Ryan, and Armageddon into a blender and press puree, they pretty much got what they deserved with that film.

As a former theater employee, please tell me you properly deposited your trash in the closet receptacle after the show.

I don't remember a ton about it, but (spoilers for a 20 year old movie you might catch at 3 am on TNT someday) I figured out that Downey was the bad guy pretty early on, because there was no reason for such a minor character to be played by a name actor otherwise.

Our teacher simply fast-forwarded through the scene, much to the chagrin of my class full of hormone-driven 9th graders.

Have the TV movie people at Lifetime called you yet about your pitch?

She has two for SCTV, but both for writing, not performing. She also has two Tonys, so that's something.

That seems kind of stupid to me (it's not like no one ever goes to Florida during the summer), but apparently, they use the summer months for cleaning and maintenance, as well as hurricane prep. That said, he does own it, so if he wanted to show up in the middle of July or August, he could.

It depends on what you fuck him with. I'm not a violent person, but I probably wouldn't have shed any tears if someone had decided to fuck him with a machete.

I've only recently started catching up with Game of Thrones (I'm still several seasons behind), so I had seen all of Vicious by the time Ramsay showed up. I'm guessing my reaction to what Ian and Derek's sweet upstairs neighbor was doing was similar to your friend's.

I turned 20 early in the year, and spent the remaining 11 1/2 months…um…I know I went to class a lot…saw quite a few movies…went to some football games in the fall…watched a lot of Friends and ER…got my wisdom teeth pulled during the summer…remember locking my keys in my car more than once, in the days before remote…

I can't help but look at people who get extensive tattoos when they're in their late teens and early 20s and really hope they're not regretting them in 10-20 years, since I look back at some of the stuff I wore when I was that age and cringe.
