That's the whole point. It's bread and circuses. The oppressed underclass is pacified through violent entertainment, and they never question the public executions on television because the game show nature gives the appearance of letting prisoners have a chance to win. Which we learn from Fireball, they don't.

Complaining about Rogen's imput is a moot point. No way any show as disgusting and sacrilegious as "Preacher" ever gets on American television. EVER.

My 7th grade English teacher was cool. We watched Akira Kurosawa's "Ran" (first R-rated movie in school) and the "Star Wars" trilogy (thankful pre-CGI version). All to learn about myth-making and such. Fun times!

But he allowed a known crime kingpin to operate unchallenged, and without a bar of soap placed in his mouth….

I will argue for "Max Payne" too. The plot was cliche as hell, but the visuals and the ethereal way the snow floats in the movie gives it a pretty cool atmosphere.

I remember him being called Bowser in my original NES instruction manual for SMB, so my guess is he was called Bowser in the American edition, Koopa in the Japanese version, and they retroactively decided that Bowser was his first name and Koopa was his royal family name, so his full name is King Bowser Koopa.

The problem with the live-action Turtle films is they were based on the original Mirage Comics, which no one in the viewing demographic read, and not on the cartoon show, which is what brought everyone into the fandom to begin with.

I remember liking the movie when it first came out. Yeah, it wasn't going to win any awards, but it's not like the original series was some game-changing landmark show either. You have hillbillies living in Beverly Hills, the show writes itself…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing this! One of the best noir movies of the 1990s, and Nicholas Cage and Dennis Hopper both give outstanding performances.

Good call. Yeah, it WAS better than those other films. I agree, no version of Part 6 is good, but the theatrical version works okay. Parts 2 and 4 were good, everything else is just okay. H20 was definitely good, but the AV Club is right, "Resurrection" was unnecessary and ruins what should have been a definitive end…

If you like gore, Friday movies were better. If you like suspense and atmosphere, Halloween was your ticket.

I can't believe Part IV is getting ragged on so bad. it was always my understanding it was one of the better sequels. I certainly liked the atmosphere in it.

I might like modern day Somali pirates more if they said "Arrrr!"

DreamWorks…. where ambition goes to die.

The part in "RoboCop 2" where RoboCain goes on the killing spree in the warehouse. The unnatural way the robot jerks around (thanks to the stop-motion animation), the dark lighting in the scne and just the relentless way it kills everyone without hesitation scared the piss out of me when I was saw it for the first…

If George Romero were writing the Walking Dead, he'd have the characters building pits and other booby traps outside the fence from day 1 until waiting until the threat is overwhelming you to do something.

Twirling, twirling, twirling toward's freedom!

Did anybody else catch the "Predator" shout out? Combat Carl saying "Over here!" with a creepy disembodied voice…

I'm so glad "The Fury" got a mention. It's a very underrated movie, and it's nice to see good telekinetic use her powers to blow up bad guys. Seriously, check out the final scene of the movie, it's like the opposite of the exploding head scene from "Scanners."

The Sons could be responsible for busloads of murdered children and the show would find some to get them out of it. That's the one thing I don't like about this show… the way the gang gets away with EVERYTHING in the end.
