To build upon your synopsis, Duncan Jones produced two of the better sci-fi films in the last five years, "Moon" and "Source Code". "Moon" didn't make any money. In fact, Jones has been quoted as saying that the only way he sees any money from that movie, is if someone buys the dvd. Now while "Source Code" did do…

Actually, it wouldn't matter if I did. Putting anything with any intelligence on the big screen is doomed to financial failure from the start. That's why you keep getting reboots and sequels from 20 year old movies.

Frankly, if you realized that American Idol is the number two rated show in the country (falling from number one which is now "Monday Night Football"), you'd realize that the majority of the viewing public have the knowledge of fuckwits let alone the knowledge of real science. That's why Hollywood pretties up sci-fi…

It's not hypocrisy. I've said more than a few times that "Drive" is a badly done homage to Michael Mann's 80's movies. I'm acknowledging why I find this movie to be bad, due to the style it's trying to mimic, yet fails miserably at it. Yet your only retort is that I (and others like me) 'don't understand' what we're…

Go take a look at the video clip you put up next to your caustic post, and rethink that line about who's 'smug jackassery' is worse.

Instead of making insulting comments about someone that doesn't agree with my opinion (*ahem* 'mouth-breathers') about a movie that was a poorly cribbed homage to Michael Mann's 80's endeavors, I'm just going to point out that there are much better movies out there than this one. If you want to see a movie that not…

Dude, I've seen and even liked slow movies before (Jim Jaramush's Dead Man comes to mind) and routinely see movies that are considered "art house" or "indie" films that no one else likes but me, but "Drive" was routinely predictable and dull. No matter how sarcastic of a posting you put up, people aren't going to…

Love it! Kind of feels like a sequel to their old song, "Spaghetti Western" (which is about watching all the old Eastwood westerns on the local (SF Bay Area) tv station).

Gosling isn't real, he's a mannequin. That's why his 'acting' was so wooden.

If you couldn't figure out what was going to happen between the time you meet Perlman's character, and the pawnshop caper, then you obviously haven't seen any movies or read any novels in the last 50 years. It was as predictable as death and taxes is inevitable. The script actually screamed out several times what…

This movie was horrible. I watched it on Netflix last night, and kept wondering when the movie was going to get interesting. A mannequin has more emotive power and better acting ability than Gosling. The Ron Perlman scene on the beach, made me laugh out loud at how bad the movie had become, and I almost thought this…

If I'm going to wait another 9 months to see a movie that was scheduled to come out in a month, not only does that show poor faith the studio has in the quality of the product that they're putting forward, but it shows that I shouldn't waste my money on it either. 3D does not equal quality, in fact it shows the…

Considering that Spider-Man: The Reboot was going to open a week after the release of this movie, I think Paramount knew they were going to lose a lot of money. And since they had already sunk $125 million into making this thing, and lost quite a bit of change in the stinkeroo known as Battleship, they were cutting…

That's right! I forgot about that.

Actually, Bobby had to go out the way he went since I have a feeling that all vengeful spirits spend some time in Purgatory once they've been released. So I really don't think we've seen the last of Bobby.

It's mainly a NYC saying for people coming into Manhattan from Jersey and the outer burroughs.

I'm a native San Franciscan, and the bars mentioned that are using this have a high douchebag population as it is anyway. No self-respecting San Franciscan goes to those bars, they're strictly (to use an East Coast colloquialism) bridge-and-tunnel bars.

That's exactly what your dad said when he was down in the Castro. :D

Step 1: Leave shit beer in the fridge, go to store and buy good beer.

Here's what I posted in last week's episode discussion:
