Any pun-based variation around the word hop, like "Hoptacular".

God, Clown Shoes names are the worst. And they're fucking labels are just atrocious, like they were designed by Phish fans.

Seconded. I had a rye IPA at their brewery in SD and it was fantastic. I regularly hunt down the Green Bullet from the few places that occasionally carry it near me.

I actually thought it completely lived up to the hype. It's stunning on multiple levels.

Love that one for A Serious Man.

Someone should be jailed for that.

Good for him, though I'd hate to think he'd retire from directing.

I really love the idea of restaurants themed around specific movies, but it just seems unfair that Jia Zhangke would tackle this before Hong Sang Soo. If any director deserves to have restaurants spun off from his movies, it's the latter.

Having seen and enjoyed Glover in a lot of stuff, I'd be happy about this no matter what, but the one thing that really sells this idea for me is his brief appearance in Magic Mike XXL. There's definitely a touch of Billy Dee in those scenes.

According to the alt-right, that was all Nien Nunb and Lando was just the useless co-pilot.

It's charming but seems like it must be really expensive. In addition to the two leads (one of whom is VERY pricey), there's lots of decent-looking effects work. They likely save some money by how much the "place" is designed to look like an actual backlot set, but stills seems like a lot of $$$ to produce.

That Andrew Luck gif is just glorious. I'm so happy that there's at least one NFL quarterback that looks like the lost son of the Klopek family from The Burbs.

There's a too-little seen early Lars Von Trier adaption of the Medea story that is really fantastic. I know people generally hate Von Trier here but it's worth checking out.

The original one for Fargo is something I had on my wall for years:

I'm so excited for this. The trailer alone is one of the best things I've seen this year.

Grover is the best, and makes Elmo obsolete, as he always represented very young kids to me.

Yes, I've seen this in action myself, so clearly there's something in the character that strikes a nerve with almost all kids at that age.

That's a lost cause for them. In a year or so, Filmstruck will likely be the only place to stream a movie made before 1980.

Maybe it's a grow-to-love thing, but from the little I've seen of Elmo, the pitch of the voice combined with the cloying personality sends me into a murderous rage.

Mubi is pretty good but I highly recommend Fandor.
