Shapeless Cameron Crowe Misfire should be the title of the box set for every Crowe movie after Almost Famous.

Considering how well non-native feral flora and fauna proliferate in the Outback, I foresee a future where great waves of Yorkies fan out over the countryside, events known as Depp's Revenge.

That the film appears to be a relatively cuddly portrayal of the military (starring the American Sniper!) is either pandering or severely miscalculated. Rom-com folks won't want their snuggle-buddy protagonists to be pawns in a game of war, and Muricans won't want their fearless drone pilots and…

I said it once and I'll say it again: is New Line Cinema a thing again? I just finished watching Lost Souls: The Dark Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau, and remembered the bad old days of New Line mismanagement. Can we be close to another massive film maudit of NLC? Gosh, I hope so.

"Curate" is the new shut the hell up.

The Family Research Council is behind some of the vilest anti-gay, sex-negative invective of the last few years. Remember, it is the thief who accuses everyone of robbing him.

Thought Experiment: If the Stones had never written "Start Me Up," would their shows ever truly begin?

As far as I know, my wife still hasn't heard about the Louis CK thing. If she does or has, she'll be bitterly disappointed. I hope it's not true for her sake. If it is true, I hope he is ground under the wheels of public opinion and whatever the courts can accomplish.

Facetime with my niece from Monday:
"I just saw your new favorite movie."
"Oh yeah?
"Yup. It's got cars and explosions and women kicking butt."
"Can we go see it?"
"Not yet. You're 7 years old."

I'm with you. Brian De Palma's increasingly cranky interviews and lack of media training are as entertaining as his movies, and I always bristle when I hear EPK soundbites about how much everyone loves one another on set. My major complaint is Harmon's inability to badmouth people by name whenever he holds court. I…

I'm on board with Harmon not playing the game and being unfiltered, but Keenan and Spielberg continue to work in Hollywood, Chevy Chase is getting a new sitcom, and the people who brought Monster House to the screen were rewarded with money and further opportunity. None of whom necessarily deserve it, which serves as…

Heartwarming. Very surprised to see a blink-and-you'll-miss-it flash of the New Line Cinema logo. It's been a while. Are they back?

Why shouldn't he? He's in a privileged place, his script got the greenlight, and the imprimatur of Spielberg guaranteed exposure. That kind of good fortune is what allows screenwriters to have careers, gain the power to foster their own personal projects, and become successful. Harmon has succeeded very much because…

Aaaaaaand Dan Harmon yet again shot himself in the foot with his impulse-control issues by badmouthing the film every chance he got.
