More swearing means more emmys.

I'm currently probing a list of Hallelujah singers looking for the last known survivor, who will obviously be the one killing these people off. I knew it!! K.D. Lang!! Officers, arrest that man!

Let's see:
Escapes New York and L.A? check
Escape from Alcatraz? check
Escape from Witch Mountain? check
Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause? check

This is somehow more terrifying than the photo-realistic Beavis and Butthead that guy made a few years ago.

Terrible is a bit harsh. It's the type of thing you breeze through over a weekend, then sell to your local used bookstore, but they only give you 50 cents for it because they already have a huge stack of copies of the same book from people who had did the same thing as you.

Wasn't there also a creepy epilogue? I haven't seen the miniseries since it first aired (20 freaking years ago??!!), but don't they show the hotel being rebuilt set to spooky music or something?

As someone who used to manage one of those "fancy" local pizza places, I can tell you what happened. The price of mozzarella skyrocketed. I haven't seen the stretchy kind in years.

He looks like he should be playing the guy who stands behind the school bully and cackles like a hyena.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing Kavalier and Clay had started filming back during the Bush (jr) administration.

Yeah. That's the freeway chase scene from 4, where one of those prefab houses is going down the interstate, and Riggs is surfing on a table holding onto a sheet of plastic behind it. Like I said, 3 and 4 are both pretty crappy, but 4 at least has a few memorable action scenes. I can't remember one single scene from 3.

Now there's a movie I forgot existed. Rob Schneider, Leslie Nielsen, Ernie Reyes Jr. and Tone Loc? Man, that movie had a weird cast.

It's hard to read that and not picture Dolph Lundgren as basically playing Monk.

Lethal Weapon 3 is one of those movies I've seen maybe four times total, and cannot for the life of me remember anything about it. I remember Murtaugh shoots his son's friend, and they play Boyz 2 Men at the funeral, and the villain is a contractor with a mustache, and that's it. As crappy as part 4 is, at least it

I believe Ebert called it a two and a half hour trailer in his review, and that's exactly what it feels like. The movie never stops… doing stuff. Constant explosions, music montages, cameras swirling around the room. Bad comic relief followed by sappy melodrama, all accompanied by a bombastic score and sound effects.

One of my favorite Rickles moments is in one of those beach party movies, where the director clearly told him to just speak his mind about Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello on camera. He basically spends five minutes calling them bland, talentless assholes, while they sit there and pretend to chuckle. Then he mocks

RIP, you hockey puck!

It's worth watching just to see Disney's take on the Vietnam War. No cursing, no drugs and not a single hooker in sight.

I think the book straight up says It has mind control powers, doesn't it? Late in the book, doesn't It hypnotize a nurse to kill Mike in his hospital bed?

The funny thing is, I saw the movie in heavy rotation on (I think) the USA network back in the 90's, and they would completely edit the trunk/golf ball scene out of the movie. For years I thought that was just something I dreamed up.

Apparently John Hughes had a three hour cut of Planes, Trains and Automobiles stashed away that I would just kill to see. It also explains, among other things, why John Candy suddenly has a black eye near the end of the movie
