It’s kind of like calling “to kill a mockingbird” an ‘old adage.’

More Darkplace for me!!

I don’t think the writers ever intended bughead to be a long-term thing, it’s just that the ship absolutely BLEW UP in popularity with the teens so their hands were kinda tied.

He was amazing in a movie called Rituals, in which he and four other men are stalked in the woods by a demented, disfigured World War II veteran.

It was really good and dark at first but got toned down a lot as it progessed unfortunately.

I wish he could do something like “The John Larroquette Show”. It was so good and almost nobody even remembers it anymore. Pretty sure it won a bunch of awards when it was on. It was great, like some weird cross between a sitcom, a Tom Waits song, an EE Cummings poem, and an AA meeting.

I remember him in a weird Rutger Hauer B movie: Blood of Heroes

A tremendous pic, unjustly forgotten, and with great performances from both Mitchum and Ken. As well as a great poster design by Bob Peak which, as far as I know, only used in Japan.

That’s great! I really do wish I agreed with you. And I’m glad that every era works for someone.

Walton was robbed of an Emmy this year for The Righteous Gemstones both for playing Baby Billy (Interlude was one of the best episodes of the TV to air in 2019, full stop) and for performing ‘Misbehavin’’.

This show has some really powerful individual moments, but it never coheres as a whole. Like, apparently this was all building up to Atticus sacrificing himself? That really does not feel like a natural culmination of what came before. The final scene is a confrontation between Dee and Christina, who barely interacted…

And likewise Solomon Kane isn’t really just Conan in a Pilgrim Hat. He actually was created by Howard before he created Conan and is an original character -- an English Puritan who fights evil, which actually exists in a concrete form in his universe.

The Kull stories take place before Atlantis sank, so long before that the Atlanteans were barbarians. Kull becomes king of the equally mythical continent of Valusia. So no wetness.

Nathan Rabin’s is my favourite take on this flop. I highly suggest reading this

Also James Gunn is proud of his time at Troma. He is still friendly with Lloyd.

I’d much rather see him in Hannibal season 4 anyway.

The second one is kind of an interesting mess. It’s trying to be a slasher movie, an examination of PTSD, and an expressionist art film. Mostly, I feel like where it fails is in the slasher movie department; if Zombie had just made it an expressionist art film about PTSD with Halloween as its context, it might have…

I go the other way. The fact that JJ Abrams has issues with The Last Jedi only confirms my feeling that it’s a masterpiece.

Okay seriously. How is René Auberjonois not deserving of an obituary article? The dude’s a legend. You gave one to the fucking meme cat last week.

It is remarkable that Jameela Jamil had never acted before being cast on The Good Place. But she brings a lot to it. When Mike Schur had her audition he asked her to do a posh British accent & she immediately tried like five different regionally specific ones before landing on the one they thought was right for…
