You little scumbag! I got your name! I got your ass! You will not laugh, you will not cry, you will purchase whatever fucking insurance I sell you. Now pick up your fucking phone and call the General! You had best un-fuck yourself or I will unscrew your head and shit down your neck!

That scene where the Bumble first raised its head over the mountains and roared scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.  I don't blame your kids for hiding - that fear lasted with me all the way to adulthood.

My point is that there comes a time when people need to take responsibility for their own actions as opposed to suing someone else for failing to save them from their own lack of common sense.  While I wouldn't wish 3rd degree burns on an elderly woman, she caused the accident, not McDonald's.  They handed her the cup…

"Necessary" is the exact opposite of this lawsuit.  This is one of the most frivolous wastes of court time to pollute the system since some dumbshit sued McDonald's for making their coffee too hot.  She's suing IMDB over something that MIGHT happen, not something that actually did.  And since IMDB is a website heavily…

Hill St. Blues was one of the best cop shows ever, long before other greats like The Shield.  I remember watching that as a teenager, amazed by how real it seemed compared to other cop shows.  Made me want to be a cop.

OK, but if casting directors sometimes unfairly consider your age (whether that's fair or not), then she comes off as even more of a dipshit for listing her true age on the pro version of the website that's used by the majority of the entertainment industry.  I mean, if you're trying to project an image of youth,…

@ Baramos: I guess it depends on the individual kid.  I saw the chestburster scene from the first Alien movie when I was maybe 13 or 14.  Not in the theater, but in my house on cable (SelecTV, which is REALLY dating myself).  Freaked me the hell out, because I'd never seen anything that bloody violent.  Probably tame…

The best weird parental standards story I know is when Starship Troopers came out about ten years ago.  One of my co-workers mentioned that he took his eight-year old son to see it.  He said, "But don't worry - I covered his eyes during the shower scene."

First R: Excalibur (the 1981 film by John Boorman).  My parents were fairly strict about movies, so I still have no idea why my dad chose this to be the first R I ever saw.  But holy shit, what an experience for my 13-year old brain!  All kinds of nudity, epic battles, blood spraying everywhere - I was amazed.  I…

No, you just grew up and realized that no matter how old you are or what the situation is, wearing baggy pants that hang halfway down your ass looks idiotic. When I was a kid, showing even a hint of underwear above your waistband was grounds for an immediate and well-deserved wedgie - no argument, no appeals.  The…

It looks to me like they found one of the Lenin statues left over when the Soviet Union collapsed and re-sculpted it to (sort of) look like MLK.  He looks like he's sternly presiding over someone's execution.  What sculptor could possibly think that statue in any way represents what MLK stood for?

I agree completely…
…with the first paragraph of his statement. Especially if you add the words "and shot" to the end of its last sentence.

@ ZMF - When you mentioned "The Duellists", were you talking about Ridley Scott's first movie, with David Carradine and Harvey Keitel? If so, nice reference to a movie that never got the credit or fame it deserved. I'd never heard of it myself until earlier this year, but I was blown away when I watched it. One…

YOU haven't come up with a better way…
Yes I have. It involves her being naked the entire time, though.

Gotta agree with UNICO on this one…
They have a point about Snooki being our worst export. At least the atomic bomb ended a war.

"…a provocative new drama about a time and place that challenged the social mores…"

His mistake is obvious. Who wears a cloth Bat-suit anymore? Batman has been sporting the more modern body armor look for decades, which would have held in this guy's gut, hidden the scraggly hair, and most important, not shown his fucking pit stains!

@ ZMF - Yeah, To Live and Die in L.A. is one of those movies that kicks ass on multiple levels. Aside from the great story itself, I remember being absolutely floored by the way it was filmed. I've been a photographer since the early 80s, and when I saw that movie on the big screen I remember thinking that Friedkin…

Sometimes it's also a case of not connecting with new music because it doesn't reflect your values or what matters to you. Back when rap and hip-hop were first becoming popular in the late 80s, I liked some of it even though the emphasis was more on rhythmic speaking than the actual music, which is what I usually…

Speaking as a quasi-"old fuck" (mid-40s), I think ZMF has a point, but to me it's a little more complicated than that. Fast edits are a good way of ramping up the action and tension if the scene requires it; the problem is that too many filmmakers seem to overuse them in scenes when they're unneccesary. It gets to…
