The idea that the first episode of KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER showed a "new generation" that vampires could work on TV is risible on several counts. It was a direct sequel to the highest rated TV movie up that point, you nimrods! And it was only a couple of years since DARK SHADOWS ended.

Really, the Denholm Elliott DRACULA from MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION rather than the BBC miniseries with Louis Jordan? The latter is only the definitive actual adaptation of the novel.

Cosby's persona changed quite a bit in the early 70s, well before THE COSBY SHOW. My dad loved his classic albums and bought them for me when I was a kid, and I loved them, too. Dad also loved him in I SPY, and watching it now on Hulu, I find it holds up really well, and that he's really good in the show,

Watched GOLDFINGER on the big screen recently. Two things stood out on this umpteenth viewing: Honor Blackman is a tough grownass woman, visibly older than Connery but pretty damn hot, and her character rocks, despite the name Pussy Galore. Yes, it's unfortunate that Connery basically rapes her into being straight

I want DOCTOR NO without the racism — make Quarrel a "Chigro" (but don't call him that) rather than a black Jamaican, give him more dignity (the movie is actually worse than the film in that respect) and don't kill him off (follow the lead of the film by having him working for Jeffrey Wright's Felix, but as a capable

Great movie, but yeah, more inaccurate than even the genre norm. It's not just that the Earps weren't cattle drivers. They hated the Cow-Boys, as the itinerant drovers who divided their time between grazing their own cattle and rustling those of others, were called. The Cow-Boys were not the organized gang shown in

I'm sorry (no, I'm not), but everything that substitutes "y" for the more common vowel in order to simulate an archaic or esoteric spelling is really annoying. Particularly if it's by Chris Claremont, who's addicted to "y" as an all-purpose vowel, along with stupid apostrophes, but here, too.

What I love about the Sabrina art is that, sans color, it could be straight out of CREEPY and EERIE (much more so than their EC inspirations) circa 1972. And to me, not much else on the current stands looks like that, certainly not the new stuff in the current incarnation or CREEPY.

Under this corporate stooge court, they would have been screwed. I agree with Mark Evanier and Steve Bissette that the settlement was the best possible outcome.

Lee is a self-aggrandizing corporate shill who seems to have lied shamefully in his deposition, but this is still Manichean fanboy bullshit, as regrettable in its own way as the "Kirby's heirs are blood-suckers" canard.

So much exploitation movie goodness in this trailer, complete with classic narration by Adolph Caesar (A SOLDIER'S STORY).

Does it pass the Bechdel test if the two women talk about a man's (severed and stored in a pickle jar) penis? Foxy's use of "f*ggot" may make one uncomfortable now, but the word got tossed around a lot back then, and this is an awesomely badass scene.

When Pam Grier came to Winston-Salem, NC, the town where she was born, to speak a few years ago, she told a great story about her first job in Hollywood. She worked as a secretary for Goldie Hawn's agent, when Goldie was still on LAUGH-IN. Goldie wanted to see the agent one day, but the agent didn't want to see

Unlike the Dissolve review, this one doesn't use the phrase "anal fissures." I want to see this, but am skered.

And godfucking cuntdamn either Disqus or Safari or iOS 7.1.2 for the way this comment interface freezes when I try to edit! Four fucking tries to post that one inconsequential cunting comment.

MS. MARVEL was much more fortunate in its fill-in artist than SHE-HULK was. I loved the manga touches and the way Kamala looked like a very specific and individual Pakistani teenager and not a generic brown person.

He also castrated sheep with his teeth.

Reviews by other and better critics suggest the letter rating is accurate, but this is poorly written, with several words and terms that don't mean what the writer thinks they do. And while Flynn's career went into a sharp decline after the war, the statutory rape accusations did not mark the beginning of his decline

Matt Murdock might not be the best example. Mark Waid's DAREDEVIL is pretty much what heralded the move away from Grimdark and towards Big Fun that also resulted in HAWKEYE, SHE-HULK, and MS. MARVEL, the most acclaimed Marvel Now titles. Of course grim stuff still happens in DAREDEVIL, as it does in HAWKEYE (the

Some of the people below have annoyingly but unsurprisingly short cinematic memories. Admittedly, not all great sword fights in classic films are duels, but some are. Stewart Granger versus James Mason in the remake of THE PRISONER OF ZENDA isn't really a duel, even though it's two men trying to kill each other with
