Of all the remade "classic" horror films, this one strikes me as the biggest surprise. Not that I've seen this version—but holy Christ was the original film a shitpile, with incoherent characterization, relentless nastiness, and a "surprise" ending hackneyed enough to make even intermittent filmgoers roll their eyes.…

Um, because it's a well-written show, and Bret Easton Ellis, as a great writer, enjoys good writing? (Only halfway trolling, here, actually.)

That one got an NC-17 for generally bleak sadness. Sexual torture carried out for the purposes of mutually fulfilled happiness is a different matter entirely.

The first 49 were better.

No, I think Modern Library is a good analogue, here. The Modern Library publishes books that are good from today, and stone-cold classics from a while ago. Just because they publish an edition of The World According to Garp, that doesn't mean that we should expect people to be excited about John Irving 150 years from…

I'm not even that big a Lena Dunham fan, but who would you suggest as a more significant Gen-Y filmmaker? It might be too early to glue on crowns, but you have to admit that if Kicking and Screaming deserves the Criterion treatment, then Tiny Furniture probably does, too.

26-year-old me, when he watched it last year, agreed exactly with 14-year-old you.

Edited to replace irrelavence with frank admission of irrelevance.

I agree, but feel compelled to warn you about all the crazy rapists on this beach.

I've watched a few episodes on Hulu and never really got into it. However, I still enjoy the rabid responses precisely anything about Community can raise on this site. It's one of those "commentary on the artwork is more interesting than the artwork" situations.

Now I want to say this, too, just to cover my ass before the shitstorm…

Yeah, well…Paul Johnson is an asshole. He wrote an entire book called Intellectuals just to catalogue all the dum-dum stuff that people you thought were smart did. Not "fair and balanced," even for a conservative.

If Marlon Brando couldn't do anything with Jor-El, it's possible Russell Crowe can't either.

You come over to do her business, she'll make it worth your while.

What I learned from the Patton Oswalt article: If you're telling nice jokes about cute babies, you're probably a rapist.

Cue Lil Wayne re: Emmett Till. We's about to have social commentary up in this bitch.

Yes, that's also what she said.

Do you get suggestions that are like "@Toyota"? I've wondered if that's a corporate advertisement in my inbox, or just another signal that one of my friends is a car dealer.

Will, I've been trying to find a nice way to say this…but you're a jerk. Fuck off.

What a terrible thing to say about Kim, she's pregnant.
