I'm inclined to agree with you, but it would take quite a bit to make Pronger likable.  It's probably a good thing that he'll be largely off-camera.

Yep, I'm a Wingnut too, and  while I do think the arguments against him can be as overstated as those for, I don't think he needs to be in the Hall.

Thank goodness you're here — I've been looking for paper towels all day!

I kind of like the fact that they are taking a break from Sinestro.  He's a great character, but he went from being dead and unused for 10-15 years to evil mastermind behind everything that ever happened ever.  I'm okay with seeing some other villains fight against GLs.  I'm particularly excited to see if they can

While I have a hard time understanding how a character written by many different writers and who has gone through many different variations — Hal Jordan - Test Pilot; Hal Jordan - Toy Salesman; Hal Jordan - Crack Insurance Adjuster; Hal Jordan - Wandering Wet Blanket (w/ Green Arrow); Hal Jordan - Full-Time Space Cop;

Yeah, that was pretty awful.  I can defend most of Winnick's run, but that was terrible.

So glad someone else is bothered by JLU John Stewart.

It was an enjoyable episode, I thought.  But, man, couldn't Maron have told him not to eat while recording.  I don't never if we ever hear him chewing, but from the moment that Rock orders a drink and mentions that he's going to get a sandwich, his voice gets that "munching on something" sound, which is just awful for

Wow, I was just coming to post this one.  That and a similar scene, which I think is from the same show, where the heroes lay down in some beds, and zombies rip through the mattresses howling, "Mine!"

The eye-ball "mini-game" in Dead Space 2 left me more unnerved than most movies have ever done. I really can't tell you what happened after that, but I was in a real mental haze for the remainder of the game.

If I remember right, the idea is the same — copy the movie and pass it along — but the actual structure of the reveal is different.  In The Ring, Watts' character learns about the exception during her investigations.  When she learns that helping Samara doesn't get her to back off, she draws on that knowledge and gets

I really like the Political Gabfest, too, mostly because of Dickerson.  I've only been listening to it for a few months, but all of his analysis seems remarkably well-considered and well-presented.  And, for the most part, I like Plotz and Bazelon just fine, but they can get a little too gliberal for me; they seem

I just bought that movie to watch with my kids.  I told them beforehand that the scene you mention scared the crap out of me as a kid (same with the scene where the troll chases down the little boy while speaking in the girl's voice).

The bit in the cellar is pretty great, too.  The sound of the aliens upstairs was very effective, and the alien's arm drops onto the kid…

I share your shame here.  Whenever I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I would be running out the door as soon as the handle went down, certain that I a menacing cackle would follow.

The clown scene is always my first answer to the question posed in the article, so I'm glad to see it get the headline picture.

I just watched that last night and loved it.  I think In the Mouth of Madness and The Thing (obviously) are better, but some of those scenes…

Yep, that was great. I love the seance bit and the scene where George C. Scott listens to the tape again.  That voice creeps me out so much.

[REC] is the last movie that made me turn on the lights and pace around the living room.  The child in the ceiling bit was great, but I really loved the scene where …

I have seen The Thing many times, and I still jump during the blood testing scene.  That is perfect filmmaking.
