I haven't seen that since it first came out. Wasn't he actually the evil mastermind behind the plot to kill Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau and was just playing dumb?

Slapstick of Another Kind is fascinatingly awful. It actually pulls off the seemingly impossible feat of making the viewer embarrassed on behalf of Jerry Lewis.

Yeah, same here. I went through a big Vonnegut faze in my youth, and binged all of his books all at once. Some stand out more than others. This one has all but evaporated from my memory.

He got to WATCH Duchovney piss all over Independence Day.

I used to say Purple Rose of Cairo was the best Woody Allen movie, but I rewatched Crimes and Misdemeanors recently and damn, if that isn't the best thing Woody Allen has ever done. And Landau was amazing in it while giving a very subdued performance. RIP.

What's the word on Monkey Shines? I've never seen it, but I still remember seeing those creepy posters with the toy monkey back when it first came out. I guess now would be a good time to look it up.

Whatever you do, don't flip over to The Learning Channel.

You mean, like this…? :

Shark is a pretty good metaphor for that character, though I think Mann said in the commentary that he's supposed to look like a wolf. Which is cool, until an actual fucking wolf shows up late in the movie. I guess he was on his way to meet up with his buddy, the Departed rat.

Even the DVD cover looks like it was shot through an aquarium full of Mountain Dew.

I think I've seen most of the Dogville shorts. They used to play them all the time in between features on Turner Classic Movies. They were all very funny and also wildly inappropriate in equal measure. I recall one that took place in the African jungle. It was the most adorable display of racial insensitivity I've

I did the exact same thing. I bought the DVD sometime in the mid 2000s, and have never felt like watching it. From what I've heard it's basically like three hours of the backwards talking dream from Twin Peaks.

I think every talking dog in pop culture should sound like the Beggin' Strips dog.

Directed by Joe Dante.

Watched The Cure for Wellness last night. Had no clue what the plot was and hadn't even seen a trailer or film clip, so it was one of the few movies I went into completely fresh. Might have to watch it again, but I think I liked it. It was sort of like The Wicker Man meets The Road to Wellville. It was definitely too

I believe Batman had a showdown with that gentleman at the old abandoned juice factory. He fell off a catwalk and into a vat of rancid carrot juice before Batman had time to save him, and was never heard from again. Or was he…?

In summation, Lovitz says straight up he's a Democrat and he voted for Obama, but then calls him a "fucking asshole" and says he can't support him anymore for stoking the flames of class warfare. At the time, liberals started criticizing him for saying this, so Fox News jumped on this by having him on to say more dumb

They should have had Michael Douglas' face land on Kathleen Turner's crotch after the chandelier crashes. Would have been a nice callback.

Darn it! You beat me by one minute!

I think Romancing the Stone was the first to do this. As in, we're walking through the jungle, everything's fine and then "WOOOAAAAHHH!!" You fall down a perfectly smooth, narrow embankment that lands you safely in a pool of water. And also results in simulated cunnilingus.
