Movies to not see with your parents when you're young
Cold Creek Manor - only film I ever walked out of it. It's just THAT bad.

Wasn't Paying Attention
I can never tell the difference between a bathroom break and a walk-out. Well, with the exception of one person who definitely beat it the heck out of Juno an hour into the movie. They definitely didn't return. But for Watchmen, I was stuck way in the back and the group I was with generally

Can Nestor Carbonnel just join the cast already?

But They're In the Same Time Period!!!
If tonight's preview for the next episode is any proof whatsoever, they're all in the same time period, simply separated by Big Island and Little Island. The preview for next week shows Sayid - in what we thought was present day with Locke and Ben - actually interacting with

Buddha of Suburbia? Really? Sayid was making friends with the dogs back then, wasn't he?

My School Years
This is what I remember from my school years:

Why Locke?
I think something Smokey reminded me of again is: Why does Locke see Smokey and see "a miracle" when everybody else gets banged up against trees like Eko? We know Locke is special. But why does the island require everyone to return when it seems like Locke is the only one doing just fine on the island?

Jumping Ship
What happened to the days when everyone thought Coldplay was too mainstream and Snow Patrol was the indie band that could? Did Viva la Vida REALLY change that many minds and hearts? Or does Grey's Anatomy soundtrack inclusion really guarantee this kind of anti-mainstream opposition?

Kenley and Leanne
I have to say, Kenley was not edited to be so incredibly obnoxious until the past four episodes. Initially she seemed pretty cool. Perhaps the recent wins have gone to her head some, and she has become very irritating to watch, but I don't think anyone can really deny that she knows how to make

Who Framed Roger Rabbit
I still consider this film to be one of the best ever made. Its technical achievements and even the story are top notch, and Bob Hoskins should have been nominated for an Academy Award for his acting. Tasha doesn't give any credit to him in her article when it's entirely to his credit that the

A Few Things
To the person who posted earlier saying they thought Ryan Gosling's teacher was a poor teacher because of his methods … well I question just what exactly teachers are taught in training and college to do as a teacher, because I know the teachers I had in high school were jokes. I had two in middle school

To Suspicious:

Rickman Fans
As an Alan Rickman fan, I may actually go see this out of loyalty to that man - who needs to get better script offers or learn to pick 'em better - because I do enjoy Rickman in comic form. And he's technically the star, but something tells me based on reviews that the camera spends too much time

Love This New Piece!
Frankly, I love this idea for a consistent analysis of the rubbish that is discussed over on IMDB. I've been witness to arguments and party to one really extensive and ultimately petty-as-hell "debate" on there and I have to say, this is a nice way to laugh at the idiocy people post on IMDB. I

Equivalency
To answer the male question about how sad this is for females, I think it is the equivalent of Kelsey Grammer of Cheers/Frasier fame kicking the bucket. Something like that. I think more people will be upset when Bea Arthur dies. I feel like Estelle Getty was only known on Golden Girls, but the others were

Lessons Learned
I think we can all learn a few things from Mr. Polanski's tragic life.

Hancock was good, I thought
I think with the reviews for this film, you have people who either wrote it off as a summer blockbuster trying to be smart and they didn't like it, or reviews suggest the critics liked the film but that they didn't want to give themselves over to it entirely because they didn't want to

Few Points To Make
While I loved John Carroll Lynch's performance in Zodiac, it doesn't really count as a one-scene wonder as he has a few scenes in the film, right? Not just a cameo. Charlie Fleischer, though, now that was a cameo! Roger Rabbit creeped me out. How strange!

Missed the Memo
So I definitely missed the memo when Kevin Smith became spectacularly unfunny and disrespected. Yes, everyone knows Chasing Amy is his best flick. But I'd put Dogma right up there too. And Mallrats is a fair bit of commentary. I have never seen Clerks, tis true, and perhaps its sequel is as lame as you

I'm With You On the Theories, Noel
I have been saying the past few weeks that it would be so horrifically perfect if Sayid is sent by Ben to take out Penny in response to Alex's death. Ben would lie his ass off of course and that would strain the friendship between Sayid and the Brotha if Sayid killed Penny not
