You jackin' it?

It'd be a nice meta twist to have the box contain a haunted copy of Poltergeist, which the husband uses to jerk off to JoBeth Williams, who is smoking hot in that movie.

Maybe there's a scene where the dad thinks he's giving himself "the Stranger," only to look down and see a ghost hand giving him a tug-job.

I shout "The power of Christ compels you!" whenever I clear my browser history of my YouPorn and xHamster activity.

I don't mean to be overly critical of "bemused" used (correctly, I assume) in the instance of this review, but generally speaking I've never seen the word used more frequently than in pop-culture articles, probably because the writers all tend to read the same stuff and certain words get regurgitated.

I suppose it's possible to infer from the word a sense of preoccupation that's different than a state of shocked bewilderment (i.e., something that bemuses you makes you go "hmm"), but I find it irritating that, even used properly, "bemused" has connotations based on its misuse.  I think a lot of people think…

So, "bemused":  Why use the word at all?  Even when it's used correctly, it stops my reading in its tracks while I wonder if the proper usage was intentional or just accidental.  Why not simply write "puzzled" or "befuddled," etc., instead, for the sake of clarity?  Even when it's right, "bemused" seems wrong, because…

What will happen if I watch Girls while listening to the band Girls and reading the Luna brothers' comic Girls?

I think another commenter mentioned that it read, "I'm the intern."

I didn't mind the concept of the hand but agree that the CGI execution left something to be desired.  I thought the special effects were generally good, but I always favor practical effects over CGI, and there was certainly enough time to tweak stuff in post-production.  I was kind of hoping the delayed release and…

I definitely expected some sort of Cthulhu-type Old God, but I appreciated the humanoid hand and assume it was a conscious subversion of expectations.  Personally, I think monsters with some human characteristics (e.g., a werewolf who is a wolfman instead of just, like, a big wolf) are creepier and somehow more…

It's funny to think about Evil Dead 2's original X rating.  The violence is about as disturbing as a Warner Bros. cartoon.

I'll add that for the scenes where there's a big buildup to a character's death, the tension escalates but the movie cuts away from the actual coup de grace.  There's a lot of splatter, but it's fairly stylized (especially when all hell breaks loose at the end).  There's no torture or disturbingly realistic gore.

Kind of like the baseball-bat-sized self-destruct lever at the end of Bride of Frankenstein.  No override, no countdown, just a giant, obtrusive lever that blows up the entire lab.

"Meta" movies that play with self-aware, Postmodernist framing devices always seem to elicit extreme reactions.  After seeing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, my then-wife and I were sort of taking an emotional breather, having found the film extremely moving and relatable, but the woman sitting next to us…

I like that one song of his, "Autumn Sweater."

"'No more magic!' his throat rasps without its usual gravy lube.  Realizing his throat is foodless, Uncle Piggems exits for the kitchen."

Like Rosemary's Baby, I think The Innocents is a rare movie that's better than its source material, and one of its strokes of genius is to have Miss Giddens discover the locket containing Quint's portrait and then recognize his ghost, whereas in the novella, she finds the locket afterwards.  Both are ambiguous, but…

There's a song on Todd Snider's new album called "Brenda," which is about Jagger and Richards ("Brenda" being one of Richards' nicknames for Jagger).  It's a love song, and it's actually a pretty great distillation of their relationship.
