They were… Just not to the degree Bruce was, particularly internationally. Shaw still dominated the box office of that era in Chinese Asia, and Chang's unit dominated Shaw.

You could argue for the collaborative team of Chang Cheh, Lau Kar-Leung and Tong Gai: huge foundational presence at the outset of the genre, each going their separate ways after '74.

Given his personal life and Leon, I don't know that I'd trust Luc Besson around a young girl and a donkey.

Would you call it problematic?

Dune is a wonderful film. A mess, but wonderful.

All I remember are the contrived, melodramatic scenarios of loved ones getting "infected".

Say what you will, but Cimino would have totally built that building for real and blown it up something awesome. Then he'd demand doing a second take.

Not entirely true: despite rebuilding Manhattan on a studio backlot, Year of the Dragon was done on time and on budget. And The Sicilian went fine. Until it got into the editing stage (which I'd argue is the controversy that really ended his career).

Chang Cheh's Shaw-produced Boxer Rebellion is actually a pretty solid attempt to turn the historic Boxer Rebellion into a kung-fu flick. Sure, some it's portrayal of the foreign powers is wonky (although probably no worse than the liberties the West takes to portraying the East) - and the Japanese seem conspicuously…

Honestly, I always thought Paul Reubens would have fit in perfectly with either Ronnie Rocket or One Saliva Bubble if they ever got made.

This describes me and Crank 2, a film which also won me over with its unexpected adherence to being a live-action cartoon.

More than that, it was something with the structure of a legitimate gripe, but his actual solution would be logically absurd or circular or self-defeating.

By this point, Adam Egret must surely be back to jerking off punks for $15 a man!

If he didn't make such snap decisions, he could have seen the Crackle bubble was set to pop.

"十二金牌"

While you run the risk of getting sick of them, following certain characters/mythologies/recurring guests is how I got I finally got into CBB two years ago or so. I just went through the Andy Daly episodes in order (with a detour through his podcast), then the Womplerverse. Then Nick Kroll episodes. Then Huell Howser…

*shrugs shoulders*

If travel show b-roll and college exchange students taught me anything, every young Japanese person is naturally a hipster, so it seems to just be a non-starter over there.

EP? It's 34 minutes. That's how long albums are supposed to be!
