I'd buy that for a dollar!

Verhoeven's only bad movie - and still watchable, at that.

I see what ya did there.

In the Savage Sword of Conan #176, "The Three Deaths of Conan," an insane wizard captures Conan and gives him a tarot reading. In one of the readings, Conan encounters Dagon (from your earlier comment, yes, The Shadow Over Innsmouth). Dagon captures Conan and enslaves him as a mindless follower — it was one of Conan's…

I did read somewhere recently that Romero acknowledged that Survival was crap, he was "out of ideas" and in a rush by the studios to simply crank something out while he could. So he followed a half-baked idea of making it a sorta-western, which he seemed to regret.

You're remembering correctly. It hurts to be dead and brains numb the pain. It also may have introduced talking zombies?
Part 2 wasn't as good, but did have a great moment where a living guy asks over the radio who is the president to determine whether he's speaking with a zombie. The reply is "Harry Truman," and the…

Act III of 28 Days Later should tide you over until that happens.

+1 for the silent Cthulu flick. I also enjoyed …ahem… Dagon.

A certain Mr. Stephen King had a few thoughts on the difference(s) between "horror" and "terror." You should read Danse Macabre if you haven't already.

Agreed - I recently watched them (The Thing and its inferior 2011 reboot/prequel) as a double feature and the difference just stood out that much more starkly.

Chopped pairs nicely with Chopping Mall.

Rumor has is it she just bought Frank Zappa's house. She'd better cover one of his albums, or at least a song, or I'm gonna be pissed.

I just mentioned this in another comment, but this includes one of my faves: “ACCESS GRANTED”

YES was thinking the same thing, having watched that awful, hilarious movie again recently.
My other favorite Hollywood computer cliches: 1. Whenever either ACCESS GRANTED or ACCESS DENIED comes up on a monitor; and 2. When movie characters are all huddled around the monitor, and someone tells the person at the…

If only there were a movie (or two) about babies that were geniuses…

AV Club Commentors: What Stephen King work would you like to see adapted to film or series? (Not counting anything already in production, like this or Dark Tower)

Anyone else notice the sheriff was Tullius from Spartacus: Gods of the Arena? Good stuff.

Absolutely agree. The scene of Farrell and Vaughn sitting across from each other at the tavern saying things like "apoplectic" is about where I went from watching to hatewatching. (They should have just shown Pizzolatto under the table, saying, "Look at me! I'm writing!")

You just saved me from telling the same story. I gave it a shot for three weeks and was a shitty salesman and quit. My parents still have the same set, though - they've even sent them back in for sharpening a couple times over the years - and I would totally vouch for the quality of the product.
(*Although, unlike the…

Don't forget, the '51 Thing was a carrot.
