Hey, Annie's Boobs has gotta eat!

I don't know nothin' 'bout bookin' no criminals!

I didn't realize the turnaround on these shows was so short.  I just read earlier this week that Fox ordered an additional six episodes of each program, which made me immensely happy.  I'm curious to see if High School USA! lasts for two seasons, like Frankenhole, or gets another year and a prequel special.  Don't get…

I know it's flogging a dead horse by saying that this reboot is completely unnecessary, but literally no one needs to see this movie.  Also, I have lost a lot of respect for Armie Hammer for saying The Lone Ranger isn't racist because some American Indians told him it wasn't, when in fact a lot of Native…

@avclub-501c54d131c3b93043a744af0c259c58:disqus That's fabulous.  I love those weird movie theater gimmicks that never quite pan out.  I'll have to check it out once I finish all the Universal monsters, Cassavetes, and Bava sitting next to my DVD player.  It's gonna be a busy weekend.

I read this on Entertainment Weekly's site while waiting for the streetcar today, and they mentioned some failed supernatural/fantasy medical dramas, including one with Amber Tamblyn as a zombie doctor or something.  It's called Babylon Fields.  I had no idea such a thing existed.

That was a sad news item to read yesterday.

A friend who programs a nonprofit theater here shows his Beyond the Door trailer regularly, and I've always meant to watch it.  I really dig schlocky 70s supernatural horror, and aberrant sexuality is always a plus- especially if it means awkward lipstick lesbianism.

It would be really fascinating if more films ended up like that.  Not because I like the idea of a director's vision being compromised, but because everyone interprets texts differently.  I know one of my favorite directors, Jess Franco, routinely had his films re-edited to "sex" up the ones that weren't dirty enough,…

Having spent a fair share of time around the old ladies who work at Target, they're okay with heterosexual filth, but the moment you mention the gays, they seize up like scared cats.

@avclub-525f76574b3a2a5bcb4da793c92a16fb:disqus It is pretty entertaining.  I watched it for Halloween two years ago.  I saw a lot of great schlocky 70s horror around that time, but I was on lots of prescription pain medication at that time, so I don't remember details so well, but I do recall finding it hilarious.

For some reason, a lot of old ladies watch this show (at least they're the ones buying the DVDs at Target), and I can only imagine how many will turn off the television when Tamblyn announces she is a lesbian, complaining about the "filth" on TV.

I never saw that prequel film that became two films, but I'm really curious about it after reading about that editing/directing clusterfuck.

I had a similar reaction.  I saw it with an ex who really enjoyed how terrified I was of horror films, and I spent the next twelve hours either shaking and reading Susan Orlean or watching benign supernatural stuff like Dead Like Me.

I have never heard of that film.  I do really like Satanica Pandemonium, one of those "sexy" possessed nun films.

@avclub-ca4fc44a59d0201cc7d4f760153cb00c:disqus Hm.  Either Harmon's inflating his "badass genius" persona, or Silverman's being extremely generous with him.  It's probably somewhere between the two.

With credits like those, there's no way this will be a giant piece of shit!

@avclub-ca4fc44a59d0201cc7d4f760153cb00c:disqus I think Sarah Silverman's memoir said he left voluntarily to do Community, rather than being fired, but it's possible she was lying.

If it's paced well, I'm willing to give it thirteen hours.  But realistically, there is a snowball's chance in hell that the writers/editor will understand that a slower pace and natural dialogue makes for good television.

It does have lesbians, I'm told.
