Uhh…I liked that remake, but "thoughtful" and "articulate" were about the last words I'd use to describe it. Most of the reviews noted that it removed all traces of social commentary, intelligence or subtlety from the original (not that the original was subtle). It's an effective action movie and didn't seem like a

Wow. The last time that there was a string of people saying "HE'S A TOTAL MONSTER NEVER WATCH HIS FILMS" I said something like "what exactly did he do? I'm not clear on this whole thing, I thought it was agreed Mia Farrow was kind of a nut and that it seemed like there wasn't any actual evidence" and someone

I'd go further than good, even. I initially assumed she was dubbed in that "Old Souls" song in Phantom of the Paradise, cause it's pretty far above the level of the average professional rock singer, let alone actress playing a rock singer.

I only knew her as "one of the stars from showgirls" and didn't realize that recurring laundromat babe from CYE was her until I saw Killer Joe. She's pretty awesome and deserves far better than this kind of garbage.

Robocop and Terminator on repeat have gotten me through many terrible hangovers (and the horrendous drug-addled funk after getting wisdom teeth removed). MST3K is the only other alternative.

Final Justice was a wonderful "sequel" to that episode. All of the disgust and anger towards Joe Don seemed to have built up even further by the time they revisited him!

They lose the rights sometimes too, as movie owners realize what's being done with their film all over again. There is a 0% chance that we will ever see those two Godzilla movies in legal release again.

I like the smooth transition from chopping off the sides to get 4x3 to chopping off the sides to get 16x9 with ratios higher than 1.78:1 and chopping off the top and bottom with ratios lower than 1.78:1. We almost get MORE stuff that's mangled now!

Looks like a more expensive, less effective version of The Reef. Cool.

The black hole is great, what other disney movie are you going to get Anthony Perkins extremely gruesomely killed by whirring blades, cowardly Ernest Borgnine, and some insane vision of the bad guy going to actual hell and merging with his robot creation there?! That bizarre ending scene is one of my favorite

I am sorry to admit that I laughed at that.

Yeah, those two are what I'm familiar with him from. The roles couldn't really be more opposite and he's perfect in both.

They could remove the three "kid" gargoyles!

I read The Fountainhead in 8th grade or so and remembered enjoying it just for the rather mathematical way it presented characters and had them interact in different combinations in a set pattern. I enjoyed it most of the way through, found the story and characters interesting if not relatable, and didn't notice the

Yeah, not only is one obviously Tura Satana, but another is obviously patterned on Lori Williams, and the third is in angora! I can't wait till tomorrow.

I watched Pee Wee's Playhouse on Saturday mornings religiously from ages 3-7 or so, when it went off the air. I LOVED it. Unfortunately I tried to watch the movie somewhere in there and Large Marge scared me too much to try watching it again for about several years.

I thought the Duel of Fates was in-line with some of the chant-influenced stuff he used in earlier scores, particularly the fantastic use of the choir during the climactic scene of Darth Vader turning on the emperor. I think that was a great piece, I just heard it so many times in such stupid contexts back in '99

If there's anyone that I immediately think of when I think "enthusiasm," it's Aubrey Plaza.

The vast majority of his italian horror/thriller scores are these weird hybrids of lounge jazz and prog rock and often lack orchestration entirely, and frequently when there IS orchestration it's the super-discordant variation ala that famous Ligeti piece. "Who Saw Her Die" is another good one, where it's mostly

Pff, both of them are 30+! Crones.
