I saw this when they reissued it about 10 years ago, with a new score and everything. All I can remember is the cool Art Deco buildings, though.

Romeo and Juliet proves the point, though. Yes, those characters were archetypes, but Shakespeare's skill turned them into actual characters, not just think caricatures. It's okay for characters to represent certain types but good writers/directors/actors find the actual nuance of those characters and make them seem…

You're not suggesting that "The Cutting Edge" is merely passable, are you? Because clearly you need to rethink that stance.

Never underestimate the power of sexism.

Janet Jackson had a good 15 year run there. Yes, she had a precipitous fall after the Super Bowl (unfairly, I might add), but a decade and a half is more than most artists get.

The 80s were different.

Not sure what you mean by "rate" (mostly because I am someone who finds the attempt to rate musical artists basically meaningless). But I was a freshman in college when Nirvana hit it big, so I certainly remember the pre-grunge rock landscape. Most of the 80s was dominated heavy metal and hair metal, which sounded…

Because it is actually a very interesting story about gender, class, and celebrity?

I've always thought Cameron is the actual protagonist of that film. Also, adults are supposed to side with Principal Rooney (character, not actor).

The older I get, the more sympathy I have for Principal Rooney. (The character, not the actor, who I know has issues).

He's very… English-looking. Nominally more attractive than Hayden Christensen.

Also, Anakin? Not that beautiful.

There's an excellent episode of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon where vampires are fighting werewolves. Hm. I guess I know where Underworld got its plot. But anyway, there should be more things with vampires vs. werewolves.

Gaston is supposed to be a conventionally attractive idiot. I actually think that Luke Evans is a good choice for him (not that Evans is an idiot, just that he looks the part) - I'm still not sold on Dan Stevens as The Beast.

No mention of Bonnie Bedelia as Holly? No real mention of Holly as a character? Come on. Part of what differentiates Die Hard is that Holly is a full fledged character in her own right.

And replying to you even more later… I did get into trouble before the takeover. In fact, I was banned before they even had a warning system (because deborah, the West Wing moderator, had dictatorial tendencies, basically). So I think it was part of the site's DNA to have ridiculous moderation.

Okay, I will take you word for it. I haven't seen him as Phillip Marlowe. (I mean, I think he's a good actor, just that he's most often cast as a villain).

I've only seen bits and pieces, but my sense is that it took place after the war was already established. I would like to see a movie about the war that is actually about John Connor, how the war is progressing, etc.

I haven't seen Red Dawn in ages but doesn't he turn out to be a traitor? I thought he did but that may be because of the aforementioned "Powers Boothe is always a bad guy" conditioning. Because you must admit, he usually plays a villain.

The fact that everyone overlooks Michael Biehn in Terminator is criminal.
