There was a great appreciation of her by Paul Chaplin in that official MST3K guide, which went on about how she always infused her characters with such fire and how she was usually the best part of the movies she was in, and used that scene as its main evidence:

I just don't get why they did it after the reception of those two late-run episodes with the X-Files fangirl character (Leyla Harrison). I'm hoping he isn't playing a character like that!

John Wick?

Yeah, as soon as I saw him in it I laughed even harder than when I realized it was a movie about Beghazi.

Yeah, I've seen mention of the blatant homosexual subtext many times, but this is the first I've ever seen it called homophobic.

I might be a soundtrack snob, but I don't like that line of thinking because it results in all those endless Hans Zimmer-y scores that are just a serious of bass drops and other stuff that's been scientifically calculated to enhance the tone of every scene and contain absolutely nothing musically interesting or

Cartel Land is like a really compelling documentary pasted together with one that's just kind of boring and sad. They should have ditched the entire "border patrol" angle and stuck with the Mexican part.

I don't really think it deserved to get nominated, it's a pretty weak score compared to the incredible ones on both Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome. It works well for the movie, but I don't think anything really qualifies as particularly good besides the music during the second big setpiece ("Brothers in Arms").

If you have a sound system you can really crank (or very good headphones), it's barely a downgrade. The main thing required is that it be VERY LOUD.

What non-white people deserved nominations? Serious question. I thought Selma rightly got snubbed last year for director since it just wasn't that good and the direction was a big part of it, but apparently that was a terrible opinion which makes me not just racist but sexist. Is this affirmative action talking, or

It was pretty immediate, I remember seeing Episode I a week after it came out and expecting it to be terrible just based on all the mainstream media hype about Jar Jar, etc. It had some good initial reviews like Ebert's, but the backlash was almost instant as soon as the public started seeing it.

Chicken…..corn….green peppers….

Same here, that ending was awful and totally threw out all the good work that had been done with Rebecca Hall's character throughout the movie.

It was released by Image Entertainment, who are notorious for botching almost all of their transfers. I haven't seen a review from any of the sites that are really concerned with image quality yet, though. DVD Talk's suggested it was a big upgrade from the DVD, just not exactly reference quality.

Yeah, that was an "Ordinary People" over "Raging Bull" situation. I wasn't surprised at all it won. Similar to Ordinary People, it's a perfectly fine film, just not one that's going to remain on short lists of the best films of the decade for many years to come like the film that was snubbed. I guess it's just that

Oh, ok, somehow I read that as her work being absent from DVD and Blu-Ray! Yeah, it is a bummer. I feel like Criterion sort of shoved this one to the backburner, though. I mean, I'm glad they released it, but it's about as bare-bones as their blu-rays get (apart from those lower-priced ones like I Married a Witch)

Arrow video released a nice box set of all the Stray Cat Rock films, it was limited but I think the US release is still available?

Hard-hitting analysis, dude! You really tell it like it is!

That was how I saw the movie the first time, but on rewatch (in a theater that WASN'T full of idiots who laughed at every instance of the N-word or JJL getting assaulted) it didn't seem so bad. Interviews with Tarantino suggest he really wanted most of the violence against JJL to be somewhat shocking instead of

The Chinese still don't like Star Wars, so I think it's secure until Transformers 8 or something
