Bland Teenage Horror Actors
It used to be that dead teenager movies were a subset of the horror genre, but now it seems that every horror movie is populated predominately by people no older than 25. Jaws, The Exorcist, Dawn of the Dead, Alien, The Shining, The Fly; all had primary casts that were adults and seemed…

MPDG
I hesitate to call for the end of something that Nathan gave a name to, but… No more Manic Pixie Dream Girls. Seriously, movies, stop doing that.

Um… ew?
So was pooping next to each other part of the "domestic bliss" phase of the social experiment or was that one of his attempts to "spice up the show". Because either way, seriously, …ew.

If you're a German, then you'll be squirmin'.

"The Chronicles of Riddick" gave me the clap.

About the only things the original had that I think are worth remaking are the aforementioned skinny-dipping Nazi chicks and the big train crash at the end. But then maybe that's just because I like boobies and train crashes.

Worst. Title. Ever.
Because the character's name is Will Hunting, you see, and… he's good. Also, he's "hunting"…for "goodwill". You see. It's clever.

Texting/Facebook
It's not art, but it is pop culture. Maybe it's because I don't have the money for a fancy cell phone or expensive plan, but I've never texted and I don't really think I ever will. If I had a cell phone in high school I might have gotten into it, but now I think I'm past the point where I have any…

Apostrophe - I only just read "The Catcher in the Rye" a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it, but I think if I had read it in high school like I was supposed to I would have found Holden Caulfield insufferable. It's strange, but I think it works much better when you're older and have a bit more perspective on…

I understand where Disney fans are coming from and I think there are a few things that studio has done that are brilliant ("Fantasia", "Pinocchio"), but by and large I'm also fairly put off by the whole cult of Disney. Their movies can just be really overbearing sometimes. Of course I grew up in the 70s and 80s…

"Magnum, P.I." did the same thing for it's first season.

Simon and Simon
I never watched more than a few minutes of that show, but it had one of the best theme songs ever.

No. It won't. I watched it for the first time since I was a kid, recently, and it's pretty terrible. In particular I remember the CGI being hailed at the time as groundbreaking and it's just… awful. Oddly I still think of it somewhat fondly, but that's probably just childhood nostalgia.

Somehow giving it a normal human name is what makes it creepy. His name should be Lord Fudgington or Fudgy the Box. Calling him Dave makes it seem like you're devouring some guy you met on the bus.

All I keep thinking of is Matthew Lillard, but that guy always comes off as a douche so… I don't know.

Cronenberg
Since we just did "Dead Ringers" and since Sean mentioned him I would love to see David Cronenberg take on an adaptation of "Brave New World". I think it would be a perfect fit for his themes of disconnect between the sexual and the psychological. If anyone could pull it off it would be him.

Hitch and Bogie
It would obviously be impossible since they're both dead but I love Alfred Hitchcock and I love Humphry Bogart so I've long dreamed of an alternate reality where they made a movie together. Possibly a feature length adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Black Cat".

Starring John Cho with Kal Pen as New Jersey.

Nice beard
So, in the alternate history depicted in the picture above, if Lincoln existed in the early 60s he would have no fashion sense and would still wear that ridiculous stove pipe hat and a shawl over his tuxedo.

Mature vs Macabre
I'm looking forward to seeing this and I generally have enjoyed Cronenberg's more recent run of non-horror, traditional narrative films, but I really wish he would do another trippy-ass mind-fuck of a movie like "Videodrome" or "ExistenZe". Those are my favorites of his after "The Dead Zone" (which…
