Exposure is a fact of life- the big money gets to sit at the big table.
If you were a horror fan in the 1980s- especially if you DIDN'T live in a big city- stuff like EVIL DEAD and REANIMATOR and even Romero's zombie films weren't going to be on the shelves at every video store- it was Jason and Freddy and their…

The thing about Spielberg is that when he makes a bad film, he KNOWS it, and he tries to learn from his mistakes. If, by some chance, he DOES come back for one more, it'll almost certainly be better than the last one- or, at least, he'll screw up in different ways. (Although I doubt he'll make it pretentious or…

I've actually run into people that never even HEARD of the first two films, and had no idea ARMY OF DARKNESS was a sequel to anything. (remember AOD was released by Universal, and has had much greater exposure on cable - the advantage of being an R-rated film from a big studio, and not an unrated one from an…

Understandable mistake, as almost all EGOT winners ALSO have tapeworm.

Used to be, when something was a hit, you'd get rip-offs. I 've grown to really miss the rip-offs, because at least they had to PRETEND to be something new and different.

The weird thing is, in three of the four films, he returns the featured artifacts to their rightful owners, and in the other one, he just ends up hiding it from the Nazis.

Short Round as a middle-aged Asian businessman who reflects on what was, frankly, a pretty fucked-up childhood.

Frankly, given Spielberg's well-know and openly acknowledge reluctance to do even the LAST Indy film, I think he may just be humoring Ford, who's not crazy about being pushed out of his signature role. (Pretty sure Disney is willing to quietly wait until even Ford agrees he's too old for it; they've got absolutely no…

I'm certain the poor STAR WARS fans are setting themselves up for certain disappointment; after all, there were only two SW films that they DON'T complain about, and they were a long time ago… and handing the franchise over to the guy that just alienated STAR TREK fans ain't that promising a start. (Seriously, stop…

Also: they were what the cool kids watched instead of STAR WARS.

Between this and FURY ROAD, it's a very good year for fanboys of a certain vintage.

Ted couldn't be in this season for scheduling reasons; Sam promises that they'll give him something special to do in Season 2.

Technically, they can refer to him traveling in time (which actually happens at the end of EVIL DEAD 2); they just can't say what he did or how he got back home.
I'm betting they bring back the time travel concept, but use it differently. (It would be cool to pay a visit to that "post-apocalyptic" future Ash went to…

Yeah, at one point they were talking about making ARMY OF DARKNESS 2 (which wouldn't have been able to acknowledge the first two films)
Raimi and co. are pretty open about the fact that they only got involved in the EVIL DEAD remake to protect their claim to the character of Ash.

"Hey, True Believers! Just for keepin' the faith, here's a sneak preview of our NEXT episode! EXCELSIOR!"

… but not for long!

Well, it was so off mark for the AV Club I understand why people are talking about it. Not so much gloating as "hey, that was weird, did that really happen?"
I have absolutely nothing to say about the guy and his little song parodies itself (it's just flat-out indefensible, of course), but the issues of what's…

I DIDN'T really; I compared this to A Thing So Awful It Must Be Deleted At Once (which may be how NBC now feels about this TODAY show piece).
I was quite happy not bringing up details if no one asked. (the post from last night wasn't exactly secret, after all; it's not like commentors haven't discussed it )

He's good that way.
