I think that that is a fair and accurate prophetic assessment.

Aww, we like you way better than that mangy Mancomb Seepgood!

First Trek was Robert Wise and Wrath of Khan was Nicholas Meyer, which is the rare instance of not only the sequel being better but also the second movie the guy ever directed being better than the second-to-last movie the multiple Academy Award winner ever directed.

He really is!! His appearance on the Nerdist Writer's Panel podcast has some amazing stories about sneaking on the Paramount lot when he was younger and harassing Anne Rice on the phone to give him the rights to film Interview with the Vampire when he had absolutely no experience in storytelling (she didn't bite). …

The even-numbered ones have the anomalous casting choices that make you look back and say, "What the fuck?" Jared Harris in Part 2 cracks me up.

Beat me by thiiiis much!

With special guest star Bradley Cooper reprising his role as Chris Kyle to show up, shoot some looters and vamoose!

I love David Simon but when even the Treme tie-in cookbook (available at the New Orleans Museum of Art for $30 plus tax) opens with an invective about how the government has failed us and we might as well eat delicious fried shit and party 'cos we'll all be dead soon (paraphrased) I have to worry that the guy needs…

Upvoted for the quality research acumen and the keen username. See you in the nexxxt life, wake me up for meals.

Eh, jacking off Philip Seymour Hoffman, posing naked while she was pregnant, being in a movie about religious fundamentalism when she had left the Mormon Church, having to smell Joaquin Phoenix for several months . . . I don't think the Academy has a checklist per se but these are the kind of things they can point…

Tarantino told Chris Nolan in their Q+A following a DGA screening of the movie (available on youtube) that the only movie he screened on set was Carpenter's THING (which would have required remarkable restraint on the part of his coked-up movie nerd self!) and that he made H8 to reconcile his feelings about that…

In David Wallace's essay 'Big Red Son,' he mentions that CRASH (which I love dearly) won 'Best Alternative Adult Feature Film' at the Adult Video News Awards and I always wondered how Cronenberg felt about that.

There is a director's cut on blu-ray that does let the (admittedly tense and fast-paced movie) breathe a bit, especially in terms of exposition near the end.

"WHERE YOU WANT THIS STUFF? RIGHT HEE-YAH, HUH?! YEA DAT'S GOOD!"

You really ought to watch the clip. Just the first ten seconds, even. It will make painting your uncle's ol' Studebaker move riiiight along. ;)

You do what you must (because you can).

I wish I could find the interview where he said he seriously fucked up his back doing that. Something about his total honesty about the consequences of the stupid shit he does just cracks me up.

Well yea, I mean, she's the harbinger of the end times but if you don't like it, that's not her problem.

The Shin Megami Tensei games have some absolutely phenomenal monster designs - their Mother Harlot (re: ho'er of Babylon) kind of killed the deisgn for me: http://img3.wikia.nocookie….
