Patton Oswalt as a southern man-child? With that awkward grimace he looks more like a man-child of the down syndrome variety and, judging by that picture, Patton's ability to go full retard is unsurpassed in the annals of acting.

Cities are great because living in one makes it easy to get to work.  However, speaking as someone who hates the shit out of 99% of humanity, vacationing in the remotest spots feasible is a must.  These places tend to be lousy with nature, but you seldom see a grown man wearing a fanny pack anywhere near…

Where in the world is Jennifer Lopez's career?

I put my vote in for the Jethro Tull-ish (actually "House of the King" by Focus) flute rock that begins Steve Coogan's brilliant Saxondale.  Never get tired of the Dr. Who theme either.

Vincent Gardenia won't be, he's dead.

Cincinnati is the antithesis of "the shit".  Mark Twain knew it, Nucky knew it, hell the only people that don't know it are the majority of its clueless denizens.  Not that New Jersey is any better, i guess its more a question of what flavor of suck you prefer; shitty pro football and fascist politics and runny chili…

"Yessir, the script is in the mail."

I don't know about the national security angle, but its scientific fact, nay an epistemological certainty, that Juggalos are a dire threat to the gene pool.

The end of Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer.

I once read a post by a snarky nerd
who was aroused by Amber Heard
The fine fellow
dreamed of her yellow
but drew the line at a turd.

I was browsing for Maniac Cop 2 as well and came up goose eggs but in Netflix's defense they have an even more obscure Lustig flick, Vigilante (which I highly recommend).  They also have Lustig's tale of the urbane and dashing Joe Spinell trying his hand at the singles scene, Maniac.  Actually except for Maniac Cop 1…

I have a feeling a very large portion of those 800,000 disgusted customers are consumers who have already paid exorbitant prices for premium package cable/satellite and probably have no qualms about dropping $5 for a vod movie.  I know several people who have no problem dropping over $50+ a month on cable to watch…

I'm still waiting for the Whitey Cassel story.

But wasn't that the one where he was a moronic sadist with a penchant for paddling nubile pre-teen boys?  Alas, those glory days are probably behind him now.

Its nice to see that even in a deep recession the white trash consumer still has some market clout.  Does Amy Lee still sound like a screeching owl?  Talk about a voice tailor-made for tampon jingles aimed at the pubescent set.

"Deep Throat" brought porn into the mainstream back in the 70's.  Man, were those the days, when a man could take his date to see a Swedish orgy film in a room filled with raincoated self-stimulators.  Makes you kind of wish the vcr and the internet were never invented. Kind of.

After watching Borat, I, too, now follow the hawk.

I agree that the Punisher is a one-note character, a big badass with a gun fetish and often a foil to more righteous heros in the comic book universe.  When a writer, like Garth Ennis, starts delving into how unhinged a person would have to be, and how they got to be that way, to actually devote their life to a moral…

It kinda is, narratively speaking.  The Punisher works when the writer or director nails the right tone.  Garth Ennis did it masterfully when he tried his hand at it.  Bleak, blackly comedic, pulpy, and a masterful evocation of  a borderline psychotic antihero with a penchant for hyper-violence.  Its a strange…

Yeah, Nick Cage was the first that came to my mind as well.  I wouldn't say he ruins everything he's in but for some ineffable reason I find him mildly repugnant in both his mannered acting and his physical aspect.  Then I see him in great stuff like Adaptation or Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call Overly Long Misguiding…
