I've said it before and I'll say it again: SNL has always, and will always, be right wing bullshit that panders to the lowest common denominator

Verhoeven has used rape as a catalyst in his movies on multiple occasions, and to very different effects (Spetters is probably the most shocking)

if you want a really good, grittier take on the Invisible Man story, read Robert Cormier's novel FADE.

I saw it at a midnight screening at the Landmark's Nuart about 12 years ago. It does get repertory showings.

it lacks the comedy and self-awareness of his other Hollywood films

I think SHOWGIRLS has always been hugely appreciated by people with healthy senses of irony and humour. It's a brilliant work.

Verhoeven understands America better than any living American filmmaker.

To be an American politician is to be culpable in some of the worst atrocities imaginable

yes, it's a beautiful film, and ever frame of it was hand-painted.

It's a Ghibli co-production with French distributor Wild Bunch. The crew was almost entirely culled from French, Dutch and Belgian talent.

suicide is painless/it brings on many changes

but these two idiots clearly believe in Libertarian bullshit, which is even more dangerous than the GOP

I hope these Libertarian assholes and their fans who voted for Johnson are happy

Pialat was one of the finest directors to ever live, and I'm glad that his films have undergone a significant reappraisal.

Based on a great stage play, if you can believe that

FANDANGO is such a beautiful, brilliant movie with perhaps Kevin Costner's strongest performance ever (as a frat boy afraid to grow up). Kevin Reynolds has always been an underrated filmmaker; I really love 187, THE BEAST (1988) and RAPA NUI, too

hope idiots realize that Harper's Labour Market Impact Assessment law has made it extraordinarily difficult to emigrate to Canada

More of an ironic comment than a "happy" conclusion. God, I wish more Burgess books would become films. Earthly Powers and The End of the World News are staggering achievements

I remember when Nickelodeon used to air Bill Plympton shorts like "One of Those Days". Christ, it used to be such a great network

Cartoon All-Stars from 1991, I believe. A perennial classic
