I am a proud fucking douchenozzle

I have rewatched Casino more than any other Scorcese movie. I take comfort in the fact that I read on this site once that the same is true of Sean O'Neal (i.e., he likes re-watching Casino) and have further pressed the matter to assume that people who don't like Casino probably just don't really get what movies are…

This story is interesting, but it leaves me curious. In your same situation, I can't imagine not feeling some resentment toward Mrs. Orpheus. Maybe you're just an altogether more together individual than I am.

…and butter, ass butter…

Man, I find Fawlty Towers to be so much more uncomfortable to watch than so much other cringe comedy. There's cringe-y stuff I like (Peep Show is my favorite sitcom), but FT, for whatever reason, just seems like too much.

Hey, I watched GoT for the first time this weekend, too! I am oh so glad to retroactively get some of the "twincest" and "sexy Carcetti" jokes I'd been hearing for so long.

Because icicles, I'm guessing.

Joe Arpaio? (I kid, sort of. I live in Tempe.)

Pugs, you can just tell us if you wrote something you're proud of. I'll go read it.

"I had…an external hard drive…once…."

@avclub-33beffd09a1b020d1187c6b4b264014a:disqus Trust me, I've thought about that. My dad is a pastor and I turned out to be an atheist, so I understand what it's like to be a disappointment. If there were such a thing as karma, the universe would owe me a disappointing kid.

Dude, you're bumming me out. My wife is trying to convince me we should have a kid, and this message just might be the thing to tip me over from anti-baby to pro-.

Let me just say that I don't think it's right to name a "best movie trilogy" yet, with Human Centipede 3 still forthcoming.

His performance in Misery makes so much more sense now that I know he didn't read the book. James Caan can play many parts well; a writer, unfortunately, is not one of them.

I like how we, the people who, on a very good year, will maybe make 0.1% of $50 million, can still discuss rationally how Robert Downey probably "earned" his pay.

I'm embarrassed to admit that Land is another film I need to watch. Thanks for the recommend, @mps:disqus !

Whoops, I should clarify: I'm a fan of the Romero's Day, not the 2008 version. Not that I'm specifically not a fan—I haven't seen the remake, so I can't say one way or the other.

I don't have enough experience watching horror movies of that timeframe to compare it to the generic schlocker, unfortunately. I'll admit that there's something about the in-your-face grisliness of it to be admired, but, as you also said, it really is hard to see why anyone would talk to this greasy lug, much less…

So…does anyone else here feel like discussing Day of the Dead? Dowd has already talked it up quite a bit, but I'd like to offer it up as my favorite zombie movie, bar none (though Pontypool, with its bizarre semiotic weirdness, is a close second). In terms of sheer survivalist grimness, Day is really tough to top.

Though I hate the movie with a hot passion, director Bill Lustig has talked very entertainingly about his discovery that this song was, in fact, inspired by Maniac, the film.
