"unearthing and restoring classic, half-remembered, and little-seen cult films, released the 1972 George Romero film Season Of The Witch to the home-video market [in 1997]"

The "The Wrap" transcript has a lot of flaws and appears to have a sensationalist agenda.  Here's a better transcript, including voices that can barely be heard that add context (audio is at http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28… ; don't let bastards make money off this "copyrighted work" of Gibson!)

Aw, come on.  The Nuj is just saying what we're all thinking.

As long as the world is filled with idiots, there will always be a market for Thomas Kinkade.

"the illusionist who can hypnotize at super speed […] talent that led him to be branded by some historians as comics’ 'first superhero'"

How did the reduced gravity of Mars suddenly give John Carter a crazy 8 pack?

Damn, I've got to correct Phipps on this one, too:  The original title was "Under The MOONS Of Mars," which has a lot more elegance to it than just "Moon" and also has a great exotic quality (like the two suns of Tatooine).  Maybe that would have been a better title for the movie, except apparently the marketers don't

Bad grammar overload!

I find it "deeply ironic" that the AV Club feels it has the right to criticize a "dangerous precedent for censorship" when it has instituted a comment system where people are allowed (and even encouraged) to shout down the views of other people.  Commenters can't even use a normal word like "snig~ger" even though the

I don't get this article.  I suppose it was written in English, but it doesn't parse.  Fallon has always been well liked.  He was the premiere cast member on SNL during his last couple of years there, which is why he got a chance at movies in the first place.  Only a hipster could have thought, "That guy's too

Your essay ignored the dramatic heart of the episode:  1900 words and not one mention of "Lang."

I saw Hazanavicius and Co. on Charlie Rose the other day and not one person at the table acknowledged that this movie is just a remake of "A Star is Born" (1937 and later) (or the earlier "What Price Hollywood?" (1932)).
