Nothing weird about having a world-respected film buff on to talk about a popcorn classic like Wizard of Oz (1 hour 41 minutes).

Ocean’s 11 for sure. Not only is it infinitely rewatchable, it’s effortlessly charming and fun. A true testament to guys being dudes.

Yes it is.

*Tim Allen confused grunt sound*

Highlander II: The Quickening‘s Christopher Lambert.”

The run-by fruiting scene was *much* more graphic in the NC-17 cut. I can’t believe they wasted all that money getting Pierce Brosnan fitted with squibs for a shot they didn’t even use.

(Awful, pedantic nerd voice) Arya is not the youngest of the Stark kids. That would be Rickon. Someone fired, blunder, so forth. 

I’m never driving to Ohio to pitch a snow tires day at Yankee Stadium ever again.

You sound like a real asshole.

Yeah I think I agree with that, too. I don’t know, maybe I’m misremembering the fallout of all this. I don’t really care about Justin Timberlake one way or the other, but it seemed like his role in the whole Britney Spears saga didn’t amount to much beyond some boorish comments about their sex life and the Cry Me A

I saw a lot of the negative reaction to Justin going around before I got around to watching this, but the thrust of the controversy is that he made a song about her cheating on him? They never even refuted it!

I think PSH just gets burned up in the wheelchair, too. 

I saw Red Dragon before Manhunter, so it was my “definitive” version for a long time, but I re-watched it recently and it really doesn’t hold up. Ed Norton is sleepwalking, Anthony Hopkins is too hammy. The one thing Red Dragon really nailed was PSH as Freddy Lounds. He brought the smarm in that trademark PSH way.

I’m with you on the initial reaction to Attack of the Clones being more positive than The Phantom Menace. I think the non-Anakin stuff kinda works for the most part, but it’s not a good movie.

I was pet-sitting for a neighbor who lived in a lovely-if-slightly-creepy old Victorian house the night I saw The Ring and it was a very nerve-wracking experience to go over there alone after the showing.

I was thinking the same thing reading this - I saw basically every film mentioned in theaters. I was fifteen in 2002 and didn’t really have anything better to do than go to the movies. 

The “say goodbye to a shoe” line is so, so much funnier when you interpret it as Homer saying that yes, on an occasion prior to and separate this one, I have seen someone say goodbye to a show. It never even dawned on me to think that Homer was referencing Hank saying goodbye to the shoe a few seconds prior.

It seems we’ve reached an impasse.

No way, 12 and 13 are good. Not as good, but still a lot of fun.

It’s a perfect comfort food movie. It really is just handsome, charming guys being dudes and it totally works. It’s in my “if I catch it on cable I’ll watch it all the way to the end” movie hall of fame.
