I'd bet money they eventually bring him back. Recasting Freddy is like recasting Inspector Clouseau or Sergeant Bilko (and that would just be madness.)

Eh, I'm not sure I'd call New Nightmare amazing. The concept is clever and the first half is pretty tense but it devolves into silly bullshit as much as any of its fellow Freddy sequels by the end. Pretty much laid out the postmodern horror blueprint that led to Scream though, got to give it that.

I'll take this: They're talking about one of the best reviewed electro pop bands of recent years and, I dunno, someone else.

But… it had, like Sigur Ros over it, or something…

Because Star Wars was previously suffering in the 'family' demographic? I call bullshit. People already loved Chewie. Wookiees were clearly the safer option if what he wanted was kid appeal and toy sales. It's not as if the Ewoks are even that cute. They're Lucas' Hobbits, that's all. I get that they're not to…

Wouldn't have worked. The thematic idea was nature vs technology. They'd already established Chewie as a mechanic/space pilot who plays holographic chess.

The best bit was being a huge dick about it, in front of large group in the pub, and slowly realising what a shameful moron I am, as the guy I'm arguing with goes "Chris… he's a teen wolf too…" Haunting.

I thought Americans spelled 'two' as 'too' until I was 26. Because of Teen Wolf Too.

The issue with torture scenes is that they're literally unnecessary. I was mildly impressed with Hostel as a piece of film-making, right up until the dude from Anger Management started getting sliced up. They'd built up the mood and tension really well; you could have cut away before he started being tortured and the…

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Watch the Hostel film he didn't direct if you want to see what terrible really looks like.

Plus, even if he literally was Stringer Bell, the whole point of that character was that he wasn't 'street' enough.

Shock as man who actually called a novel 'Trigger Mortis' is revealed to have no taste.

If this movie sucks I think I'm going to have to quit the internet for a few weeks. It's going to be Christmas for know-nothing, misogynist wankers.

To be clear, I wasn't arguing for him as this generation's George Bernard Shaw. What he said was mildly amusing, not so much for the genius in it's construction; more as an apt and irreverent response to your original comment.

The last few things she did were specifically about the bad year that she'd had. Kind of hard to talk about them without touching on it?

It's just that what he said was kind of amusing. Which I suspect is what he was going for. By asking him what he's accomplished, you seem to be implying "what have you accomplished beyond saying something kind of amusing?", as if saying something kind of amusing isn't, in and of itself, a worthwhile thing to do.…

I really do try to be positive but this sounds like such a fucking trainwreck.

Um dude, you're making a good point overall but you're starting to sound a bit like the fun police. It's the fucking AV Club, not the Oxford Union.

OK so the director just seems to have done a bunch of ads, but that's the same DOP who did Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and American Psycho.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, it's called. Pretty awesome, actually. There's a Men In Black one at Universal as well which has the added plus having you enter through an art deco elevator that pretends it's taking you to one thing but really takes you to MiB HQ. I fucking love Orlando.
