The first time I heard of the 'movie obsessed' Max Landis was in his Trailers from Hell review of Running Scared. Besides being generally annoying, he says multiple times how great Herzog is in the movie. "Fucking Herzog! How do you like fucking Herzog in a movie?!" when 'Herzog' appears in the trailer, apparently…

That it feels like ONLY 3 hours is a hell of a compliment.

Because when the Coens made True Grit, they wanted to adapt the novel, not the John Wayne movie. Their version is more accurate to the book too. It's the same way that many movies based on classic literature aren't remakes of previous adaptations (like Pride & Prejudice). The 2012 Total Recall, for instance, would be…

That people value a good handshake and, in the case of Hank Hill, sometimes to an extreme.

I teach college in Texas and always use this example when discussing good business etiquette with my students. They always identify with it.

At this point there are more bad seasons of The Simpsons than good ones.

Everyone bow to the most epic hair-pulling moment in television history:

So jazzed for this. I've long thought Alexander and Karaszewski were highly overlooked screenwriters who have a real knack for bizarre true tales. Look at some of their unmade biopics and mourn some films we'll probably never see: the Marx Brothers, Rudy Ray Moore, Robert Ripley, the Rainbow Man.

I've shut off movies midway through, but Mojave is the first time I ever stopped a trailer while watching it.

Is that how young he was when he died?! Holy shit.

Psyched. Never seen it before, but the Alamo Drafthouse in my area is playing this on a double bill at the end of the month.

Based on titles alone I could guess every one Ignatiy picked.

Yes, the show always had a knack for finding humanity in people you'd otherwise think as a villain on a less intelligent show. I love FNL newbies who hate Buddy Garrity, then you get to break it to them that by the end of the series they'll cheer every time he walks into a scene.

I don't know if I would say off. Still a lot of good material. Maybe more on cruise control. Speed 2: Cruise Control, if you will.

Ah, wish Danson talked more about his sex and cocaine in the back of an Escalade trope on Damages. Just watched the third instance of that scene tonight from season 3. Danson's character Frobisher knows an actor that will play him in a movie. Danson helps the actor get into character by letting him bang a hooker in…

Dean Norris as Michael Chiklis as John Belushi.

Seriously. Maybe 2 or 3 celebrity deaths ever crushed me emotionally, and this was the first. I was a kid and I worshipped Hartman. Will always feel heartbroken about this.

Excuse me, but "hectoring"? Isn't that just a buzzword that dumb people use to sound important? Not that I'm accusing Mike of anything like that.

I feel the same. I've seen Cache, The White Ribbon, and Amour, none of which I've liked. With other major filmmakers I've disliked, I can usually find a film or two that resonates with me, but Haneke strongly turns me off. I plan to work through his filmography (maybe Code Unknown over the next few days), but I don't…

Will anyone cop to liking 8mm? It's one of those films that people always hedge their praises. It's overwrought but effective. I feel like if Schumacher hadn't directed it, especially as his Batman & Robin follow-up, the same film as-is would probably get hyped up more.
