Horror movies must rely on a strong foundation of suspension of disbelief to be effective. Often, when a horror movie strives to convince you of the 'realness' of the subject, or has an overly complicated back story, it just draws greater attention to the inherent fakeness of the movie. Its the same thing with the new…

Theres nothing 'free' about listening to Coast to Coast, because the Government will eventually triangulate your position, and send in the Shadow People, Mothman, Reptilians, Free Masons, Big Foot, and the Reverse Vampires to take you away. Beware I say! Beware!

You have to vote for one of us. Its a two party system!

I saw that movie; "Three Tons of Fun"!

No, the Emmy's are made of chocolate.

Mo'numental?

I think that Heinlein basically writes kids novels (like, adolescent-boy kind of stuff), which is the same opinion Ebert stated in his review of the Starship Troopers film version.

You clinking, clavering cacaphony of collisionous cogs and camshafts, take that!

Uh, time for a remake of Maximum Overdrive?

C'mon, anti-World Bank and neo-liberalism is so 1990s Seattle. It might as well have a grunge soundtrack. Its all about the reptilian humanoids that secretly control our government and economy.

Oh Boy!
Looks like we can look forward to a solid two weeks of "Fantastic Mr. Fox" ads on the AVC now! Followed by the inevitable interview, AV Talk, and finally, C+ to B- movie review.

I Bring You Peace
He's bringing peace, break his legs!

Yeah, not sure what 'Along among' means.

Or will this just be a platform for David Icke to tell us about how Obama and Israeli bankers are really evil alien reptilians ffrom Draco?

Red Dawn?
