Hardee's Mushroom & Swiss Burger. It's better than Wilco!

Should you really love Dawes?

Not his actual name, but a brilliant alias - Bob Genghis Khan.

I was just going to say Bob Loblaw.

Any time the Criterion Collection taunts its fans by asking what films they'd like to see receive the Criterion treatment, my number one suggestion is Comfort and Joy (as well as the rest of Forsyth's first four or five movies), but the bastards have yet to knuckle under to my demands.

I'm happy (and pretentious enough) to say that I loved OMD's belatedly crowned masterpiece Dazzle Ships upon its release in 1983. At the time I thought it was a cool and weird treatise on the Cold War, which at that time seemed in danger of heating up at any moment. Now that I'm older, I find it even more fascinating…

Well, some poor dude in Spain just had his self-image shattered.

Was Yahoo Screen really that hard to use? On my computer, I just went to where the video was located and hit "play." It seemed pretty self-explanatory to me.

That Muncie Girls video makes me want to have a one night stand with a woman so I can wait til she leaves in the morning and then replace her copy of The Bell Jar with Star Trek novelizations and any such magazines as Cosmo or Bride with old copies of Wizard and Trouser Press. (My gender identity is more Nerd than…

There's also the mistaken belief that Best Supporting Oscar = Box Office Clout. Very few people think "Well, Cuba Gooding and Mira Sorvino have Oscars now! I'll be first in line for their next starring role!", but the presumed Newly Minted Superstars attempt the leap anyhow. Then once their early starring vehicles…

I can't hear "The Thunderer" by John Phillip Sousa without thinking of Michael Anderson/George Pal's endearingly godawful Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, which added Doc-extolling lyrics to the public domain tune to create a theme song to the movie because they couldn't afford to pay anyone to write an original tune.

Funny thing - as near as I can tell, the first movie to use "Gimmie Shelter" as the background music for something ominous about to happen is Adventures In Babysitting. So all the lazy jack-offs the last few years who've overused it thinking they were emulating Scorcese have really been apeing Chris Columbus.

Stop trying to write about music. I think a brighter future awaits you in insurance sales.

You madman! You're trying to undermine the entire movie trailer industry!

Toss it to Kevin J Anderson. He'll have the final two books completed before Martin finishes his morning leg of mutton and goblet of metheglin. And he'll go ahead and throw in six or seven prequel novels for good measure, including one about the time Ned Stark ran away and joined the circus and traveled to Essos.

I think the current news staff at the AV Club are just overmatched when it comes to writing decent and well informed obits. Pretty shitty that there's been no mention of Sandy Pearlman's passing, as far as I know. Not only was he one of the great music producers, but he was also a pioneering rock critic, meaning most…

Hey, thanks for this list of every single movie that's been released this year! It's really helpful!

Back around 1979/80, one of the local college stations had a late Sunday night New Wave show. One night they played "Frankie Teardrop," and that ended any chance of me getting to sleep that night. Nearly 40 years after it came out, it remains one of the most genuinely terrifying songs in rock history. Rest in peace,…

No matter how much I think I already like an actor, I somehow always manage to like them three times as much after a Will Harris Random Roles.

Its omission is fucking unforgivable. Hell, the "Love Take Me Down to the Streets" payoff alone is smarter and funnier than what a lot of the included films were able to muster in their entirety.
