Confusional arousal? Is that a thing? So if you get confused then you get all horny and stuff?

I'm with you, Jorge. And while we're at it he seems to think "Predator" is taking itself a lot more seriously than it is. The arm wrestling scene is obviously done tongue-in-cheek.

I think the problem some hard core sci-fi nerds have with Bradbury is that he tends to blur the line between science fiction and fantasy (with some horror mixed in for good measure). That blending of genres is the exact reason I like him so much, but some super-fans of science fiction have a steel rod up their ass…

Boxcar Bertha
For more Bernie Casey ass kicking from that same year check out Martin Scorsese's "Boxcar Bertha". He unleashes a shotgun attack on a lynch mob in the final scene that's just brutal.

Pablo's cousin does make the claim that after Pablo was killed the Medellin area erupted into chaos in contrast to the relative order when he was in charge. And that's probably true. What he didn't point out is that the only reason that happened is because when a drug lord runs your town there really is no…

And of course all of those Columbias up there should be Colombias. Oopsie.

I saw this at the L.A. Film Festival…
…and it really knocked my socks off. The Zimbalists were there and one of them mentioned how ESPN was supportive of the longer running time of something like 100 minutes. Todd, was the broadcast the full longer running time or did they cut it down to an hour?

So what's next?
Any plans for a new column to replace this one? I really enjoyed these columns.

Also, I have to imagine the Simpsons writers were thinking of this scene as they were creating the images of Lisa's withdrawl from the Corey hotline.

Frailty
As much as I love "Frailty" I will admit that I've struggled from time to time with the ultimate meaning of it all and how that matches up with the tone of the final reveal.

"I Am Legend" was perfect until those ridiculous cartoon zombies showed up. Nothing fries my ass more than shitty CGI when it's completely unneccessary. There's a reason low budget horror movies lean so heavily on zombies. Because you can make really scary, effective ones with a little make up and a halfway decent…

Okay, I'll take over. The ending of "A.I." is not sentimental. Far from it. The entire scene at the end is an artificial construct created by artificial constructs for an artificial construct. The little robot boy was created for the humans to have someone to love and when the humans found themselves unable to…

I found "Land of the Lost" very endearing. The scene where Will Ferrell and Danny McBride put their hands on the obelisk and pretend to be Cher on autotune was hilarious. I get the impression that a lot of people took this movie too seriously. It's supposed to be ridiculous and it recognizes the inherent…

modernized?
"we have no idea what 'edgier' means in this context"

I love that Luc Besson cast Tommy 'Tiny' Lister as the president and Brion James as the head of the military. Because they both look like James Bond villains.

RedLetterMedia.com does a pretty good take down of "Avatar" and why it's not very good. After I saw the movie I thought it was okay, but after watching his review I gotta say I'm liking it less and less the more I think about it.

Jacket and tie
For freaky fashion statements none of the Rocky Horror costumes on display hold a candle to the plaid jacket and enormous brown tie that newscaster is wearing. That shit is awesome.

Cold War Hitchcock Movies
I found both "Torn Curtain" and "Topaz" to be solid entertainment and I think somewhat overlooked Hitchcock movies. Not upper tier Hitchcock, but still it's not surprising how well his style fits in with cold war paranoia.

Avoiding the junk
It must have been a pretty tricky job for the camera operator to avoid any shots that inadvertantly feature Marmaduke's enormous dangling business.

Well, at least by being banned in the U.S. it spared us the sight of that horrible English person shaped like an egg.
