Maybe its because I was already ruined by film school, but I hated TCM (and I love the shit out of horror movies). Between the repeated scenes for the kill shots (the first two, in the stairs, I think, the never-ending screaming of the dinner scene, and the general low-rent, amateur vibe the whole thing has, I was by

Its one of the earliest experimental films. It basically exists to elicit emotional reaction sans story.

It only gets worse from there, but its really good film, all things considered.

The arm wrestling contest in The Fly still gives me a shudder just remembering it.

But it's such a good freaking movie.

I'm actually surprised there weren't more horror or extreme cinema examples voiced here.

I don't know if it counts as physically "ill" per se, but my wife will watch KUWtK or those godforsaken Housewives shows on occasion, and I can't stay in the room. They're so clearly staged and so shrilly calculated, it makes my skin crawl.

Maybe you were too young, too uninterested, or just don't remember accurately, but I was in high school during the Clinton years and would regularly watch Leno or Letterman. They devoted entire monologues to Clinton jokes, just as they* do now to Trump. If people get tired of it, they'll stop watching. So far, it

I don't know how serious you are about this, but that's a really, really bad idea.

I said it recently, but I absolutely pity any historian that has to sort through this mess. We can't figure out what in the fuck Trump is saying in real time, with full context. The guys looking at Twitter feeds 100 years from now are totally fucked.

If you're talking about mental maturity, I'd say you're being generous.

Yeah, because late night hosts have always shown such reluctance to mock presidents before. Especially that Clinton guy- so odd that a scandal rife with joke possibility was barely touched.

They have a mighty big hill to climb to try and match the Megan Follows series. We just watched the first one with my niece recently and it holds up just as well as the first time I saw it.

Only if I was actually worth billions. And even then, I'm talking for, like, milliseconds.

I just stick with "narcissist," "idiot", and "asshole", personally. Pretty much covers his personality.

I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

Or simply sparking out of existence in a flash, like a proton meeting an anti-proton.

No, it's fucking lazy screenwriting.

Yes, "looked" being the operative word. I'll never claim Prometheus didn't have great cinematography or production design. The problem was that it was all pretty icing on a shit cake.

Yes? No? Both? Neither?
