For me, the most remarkable one was when Rabin was interviewing Robert Smeigel. It was for You Don't Mess With The Zohan and Rabin had already released a review where he savaged the movie but Smeigel, unaware, asked Rabin what he honestly thought of the film.

I stand corrected.

I agree with several of these (though I will argue that nobody though The Witch was scary)

Gibson has hit that rare window of being both such a horrible person that I refuse to support him and an interesting enough filmmaker that I want to check out everything he does. Fortunately, I have access to a multiplex so I can just pick up a ticket for another movie and then go watch his, which is also what I do…

I remember when it first happened, he was openly repentant and swore that he was going to take some time to work with Jewish groups on fixing his mistakes and clearing his name and then, a couple months later after Apocalypto opened up in theaters, he announced that he was done making amends.

Here in Oregon, you can't swing a stick without hitting a witch or warlock. There is a guy at work that is holding a fundraiser for his coven.

For me, the problem with The Witch is that it wasn't scary (which is a problem with a horror film) or that I had any no other emotional connection to it. It was smartly written, well directed, gorgeous and the acting was top notch but, in the end, it felt like an intellectual exercise.

I always admired Pete Burns. Back in the 80's, thick in midst of Reagan and Thatcher and the last big gasps of institutionalized homophobia, Burns was so defiantly queer. It wasn't just that he was gender-bending, so were Boy George and Marilyn, but with his deep voice and his permanant sneer he refused to be fragile…

Maybe but Rhys-Davies has stated before (including in a really good Random Roles) that he didn't refuse it because of the quality but because he didn't like the idea of Sallah being a bad guy. He was too fond of the character to let him turn heel

Lucas gets too much of the blame for Crystal Skull. Koepp's script sucked, Spielberg's direction was lazy and uninterested, Harrison Ford could barely be bothered to act and Shia La Boef was miscast (throw in the fact that Sean Connery and John Rhys-Davies refused to return essentially ruined two of the major plot…

My theory is that we learn to love things that we were exposed to as children, particularly things that were repeated over and over again. From my own observation, children of the 90's were exposed to a lot of basic cable (TBS, USA, etc) that played a certain level of film on repeat, usually AAA movies that weren't…

I liked Gareth Edward's Godzilla fine when I first saw it but I've grown fonder of it with each viewing. Krampus, on the hand, wasn't so great. I'm not too excited about this.

"…is on record for supporting LGBT rights but despising gay men."

Nope. You aren't "thinking deeper", you are just making shit up

Yeah. That's not what I'm saying and that isn't what the episode is. Paper Boi isn't being shown as not "up to date on trans issues", he is shown as being right. The episode has the humorless feminist agreeing with him and the ridiculous host sputtering into silence despite the fact that Paper Boi's argument is a…

No feminist would be mollified by the bullshit "free speech" and the fact that the one on the show did makes me wonder if Glover has even hung around feminists. "Free speech" is the number one thing screamed at them by conservatives and MRA types.

There were definitely some hilarious parts of this episode but, overall, and I say this knowing full well that I'll be seen as being overly sensitive or "pc", I thought it was some transphobic bullshit.

Personally, I never knew of the Gawker piece before now and outside of an Elizabeth Moss comment, I have had no inkling that Armisen is a bad guy. I have never liked Fred Armisen because I find his shtick to be painfully unfunny. His type of humor (a) relies on extreme voices and mannerisms. People acting incredibly…

I agree but that never happens. They always remake the good films that stand on their own and, if they do touch a flawed film, they make it much worse (see Rollerball)

I remember liking her on Last Comic Standing. She was scrappy and funny and she stood up against the staggering misogyny of her competitors, week after week. If I remember correctly, she was challenged almost every week and won all of them.
