Ah, snarky bullshit about anime that has nothing to do with Ghibli-a hallmark of the AV Club.

in way more fucking important Netflix news: http://www.wellesnet.com/ot…

Beyond E.R. and his animated series (I miss the incredibly ambitious INVASION AMERICA), most of Amblin's shows have been flops.

God, yes. Have seen that twice in 35mm. He's fantastic in Bill Forsyth/John Sayles' BREAKING IN (1989) alongside Burt Reynolds and the the Gary Sinise/John Malkovich OF MICE AND MEN, too.

I look forward to dying in a Trump-erected gulag in about a year

Casey Siemaszko's performance is really strong in that episode. I loved seeing him in LOUIE as a homeless man a year or two ago

Her father pulls some evil shit

best post I've read here in years

It was an incredibly expensive series for its time. Like every anthology show, it was hugely uneven, but there were some remarkable episodes. It certainly didn't aim for scares like the TWILIGHT ZONE revival or TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE.

"The Doll", directed by Phil Joanou, written by Richard Matheson and starring John Lithgow in an Emmy-winning performance, is another very notable one. Joe Dante's episodes were great, too, although maybe not as memorable as his work on Twilight Zone '85

The Brad Bird-directed, Tim Burton-designed "Family Dog" episode of the original series remains the finest 22 minutes of animation ever produced for American television.

this is how the Hollywood development process works for everyone, FYI. Scott didn't announce this as the next film he's directing-it's conjecture. Many, many facets of the production need to be locked before it'll happen

Paul Schrader and Nicholas Kazan's PATTY HEARST (1988) is brilliant. Incredible performances from Natasha Richardson and Ving Rhames. I still have the score on vinyl.

no transgender artists and no artists with disabilities, either. Par for the course with the "experts" at the AV Club

Twilight's Last Gleaming and Ulzana's Raid are absolutely stunning. MGM has restored Killing of Sister George, and it looks phenomenal on 35mm. Twilight… is probably my favourite, though. Like Otto Preminger's The Human Factor, it creates tension and dread due to its characters' moral decisions and the state of the…

No Jessica Udischas or Kate Beaton?

Week #2 of the New Beverly Cinema's incredible monthlong tribute to Frank & Eleanor Perry. I'm catching Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970), which recently screened at Metrograph in NYC's Universal Studios in the 1970's series

How can most Americans look at themselves in the mirror and actually be proud to be born in said nation? What kind of cognitive dissonance does it take to call yourselves arbiters of democracy while installing puppet regimes and making your armed forces the most impressive terrorist squad the world has ever seen?

for the stage, not the filmed version of it

public shaming and suicide is OK
