Leave Emma Stone's dad alone!

The last act and the whole opening of Doom are so great, which makes up for a lot of the offensive, stupid shit in the middle.

The jungle chase was not real, which was exactly the problem.

*Tim Lucas shakes his head in disgust*

It is indeed, and I'd argue Hey Ya! is the greatest pop song of all time.

Never seen either, but is Death Laid an Egg as crazy as it's title? It always seems that the titles promise madness and the movies deliver tedium.

Let the Corpses Tan is a fun title, but that's not necessarily a good omen coming from people whose previous work shows a pronounced giallo influence.

It's actually kind of exciting to see who he hires next for whatever position, knowing that person will soon become a national laughingstock.

Wow, that Pitchfork review is harsh. I'm usually not a fan of their catty reviews but have to admit that I laughed at "the sound of Billy Squier pouring warm milk over the concept of reggae."

The real question is how small the phones are that Seagal holds in this film. And also how often he appears in large clothes/drapes disguised as robes.

Hahaha. I had completely forgotten that. How perfect!

I've mostly blocked it out from the trauma of watching it, but I just recall that it was sort of like less coherent Michael Bay, with a horrible drained-color style that was the rage at that time. The dialogue and acting are atrocious but it's really the direction and editing that make it so famously bad. It's just

Same. Problematic as it is, it's flat out one of the best directed action movies I've ever seen.

Well, other bad Bond movies don't have villains played by Christopher Walken and Grace Jones, so it's not without its pleasures.

Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever is the worst movie I've ever seen in a movie theater, so Tom, you've made the right decision to avoid it all these years. Good god that movie is horrendously awful.

I haven't liked a Bond theme since A View To A Kill. But man do I love that one.

My feelings on NBK have not changed since seeing it as a teenager. Despised it then, despise it now.

I was already in college for the former, so you can imagine how well I received it.

He's great in everything (except that terrible Batman film) and is hugely underrated as a director too. Like Harrison Ford, he's earned the right to be as grumpy as he wants to be.
