I used to live across the street from a Chinese supermarket that had live turtles in the seafood section. I felt bad for the little guys. Now crab, there's an animal I can eat whole without remorse.

I worked in a movie theater when City of Angels ran, so I basically heard Iris and Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited" multiple times each shift. Iris is pleasant enough in a non-offensive way. Uninvited, however, manages be the only Alanis song I like.

That's what made Louie great—the complexity.

Nuts. I was really looking forward to the episode where he jerks off in front of female comedians "as a joke".

Two cast offs I would add to the list (both off the Total Eclipse box set):

I just can't understand all the love for Randy Newman. "I Love LA" should have been a prosecutable offense.

Clinton Road isn't in the Pine Barrens. The Pine Barrens are a South Jersey thing. Clinton Road is in West Milford, right at the New York border. Also,the Jersey Devil isn't associated with Clinton Road, but ghosts, mob body dump sites, and the Jackson Whites are.

The Bond series has always been disappointing to me. I think "B movie with a budget" is the perfect way to describe them. To date, there are only 2 that I've enjoyed end to end: Casino Royale and Tomorrow Never Dies (a Vincent Schiavelli cameo for the latter goes a long way). I can't even get into the Connery ones.

Say what you will about Snakes on a Plane, but I saw it at a sold-out midnight premiere. As soon as the movie started, the whole theater smelled like beer and liquor. The crowd was super into it. Easily one of most fun movie going experiences for me.

They made it hateful. It takes the worst of prime time game shows (over elaborate sets, dumb contestants taking minutes to work out easy questions) and adds in the worst of Extreme makeover: Home Edition (scripted forced drama, trying to make the audience cry). Then, they stretched it out to an hour and padded the run…

And yet, The Wall still exists. What the hell, Hardwick?

I love the product placement in The Island. I mean, what compelled XBox and Vitamin water to advertise so heavily to an organ farm?

I thought it was pretty obvious from the get-go that Bash was gay and Florian was his lover only posing as his butler.

Besides, Ian McShane is already too busy with Dicks and Dieties on Starz.

His face has always been punchable, but that pic in particular is him laughing at us for being unable to punch it from where we are.

I loved the shot of Technical Boy "saving" Bilquis, with the palm fronds behind him looking like angel wings.

"…the doesn’t give Keaton much to sink his beak into."

Completely agree. I like Cera, but he's no Scott. The cast was otherwise mostly very good (though I'm not sure why they changed Steven Stills from sardonic frontman to panicked Shaggy from scooby doo)

I really want to see Wright remake Scott Pilgrim with a second half more in line with the books. The first half was damn near perfect, but once it veered away from the comics (yes, I know they weren't finished yet), it lost a ton of steam.

I remember reading something about how the best parodies come from a place of love. Mel Brooks's best films work because he truly loves what he's making fun of (which is, at its base, mostly theater and Hollywood). You don't get that feeling from the [GENRE] Movie series.
