Ah, they're too busy with this: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

So? All the directors Roth wants to imitate gave the finger to the MPAA; why doesn't HE man up and do the same?

"THE PLANET OF THE ELIS WAS EARTH ALL ALONG!":

There's nothing "moral" about his outrage.

He had his priorities straight, I'll give him that.

Putting gratuitous political commentary in, whether it fits or not, is basically bad writing by definition.

I do recall a critic (who insisted that he was basically sympatico with Clancy's political views) complaining about how the politics started to ruin the books (he had a great line about how readers didn't want poorly thought out lectures on geopolitics, dammit; they wanted well researched lectures on technology!)

Clear and Present Danger On The Planet Of The Apes

Ah, but HERE's the classic:http://dangerousminds.net/c…

I'd like to think the slow-acting poison that was WILD WILD WEST finally kicked in.

Not too worried about Chiklis, because he'll end up in a decent tv drama again at some point.
Even if his FF films had been blockbusters, everybody in the business knows him from THE SHIELD.

To be fair, Hitler's taint is pretty fascinating viewing. It's got a real sense of unpredictability to it.

The very first teaser DID use Guaraldi's music (oh, and some other guy's, too):

I recall a critic saying that Burton could never make a "real" horror film because he loves horror films too much. (I get what he means)

I assumed "Bastard Executioner" was going to be a sensitive drama about an executioner with "absentee father" issues.

Well, I would have pushed for John Goodman as Vincenzo, but sure, why not?

B+W is incredibly kind to low budget production values. the "Don't Open Til Doomsday" episode of OL has a really crude puppet monster… but the way they photograph it, it is HORRIFYING. It's just the TEXTURE of it!

Macy and Cranston as "The Brothers Kolchak".
(special guest appearance: Dennis Leary as "The Guy In The Really Unconvincing Lizard Suit From That One Episode")
