That is horrible casting. Too old, too Wahlberg. Too Marky Mark. He should be cast as one of the thugs that The Crow dispatches.

The next movie that Mann directed after The Keep is Manhunter - the best (and least campy) Hannibal Lecter movie. No Hopkins hamming it up. Plus, it stars Gil Grissom! (William Petersen.)

Tangerine Dream did the score? I'm going to have to finally see The Keep now. I don't care who did the score in the director's cut, Tangerine Dream's score is THE score for Legend as far as I'm concerned.

As someone who listened to the Misfits and Black Flag in the eighties (turned 40 this year), I'm amazed that Danzig and Rollins are still in the public eye at all, even if it's just indie comics. (Actually Rollins seems to have found his niche as the Spalding Gray of today.) Those two macho men do kind of make sense…

@Kenro199x: "I loved the fact that Let Me In flopped. I dig it."

I just have to say that Let Me In is a brilliant reinterpretation and a terrific, powerful film in its own right. It's still playing at a number of theaters through at least Thursday. And the DVD will probably be around in a few short months. So for those who refused to see it out of loyalty to the Swedish film or…

Lucas' true legacy: not the prequels, but - for good and ill - the franchises in the wake of Star Wars that emulate its mythos. I don't think it's Campbell's universal hero archetype (a debatable concept itself) so much as the original Star Wars trilogy being a direct influence.

How's this for a start: butthurt fanboys need to drop the whole "George Lucas raped my childhood" line. At first I assumed it was a hyperbolic joke, but there are actually some big, grown men who feel that way.

As an atheist, I've observed that atheists/secularists/rationalists are as prone to religious-type phenomena as anyone else: prophets, heresy, schism, the saved vs the damned. The Singularity is the Rapture for (some) atheists.

The Simpsons did the exact same joke regarding "gay" and electric cars years ago. The target of the joke was not gays, but marketers who evoke homophobia and masculine crisis in order to push their product.

NOOOOO! Nothing must ever be remade! Remakes are a desecration of the artistic integrity of the originals; nothing but crass cash-grabs for the stupid, morbidly obese, SUV-driving, Walmart-shopping, McDonalds-eating American moviegoing audience.

It's an entertaining show. Things change: characters turn into vampires, characters die and stay dead, the 'good' vampire starts drinking human blood (his gf's), betrayal and plotting is everywhere. Arguably nearly all of the character are evil, abetting evil, or otherwise morally compromised. (Seriously, if Stefan…

The Gap was wise to get rid of that horrible, generic-looking logo. Now if only the Democratic Party (that 'copyright'-esque circled D) and Seattle's Best Coffee would do the same with their generic new logos.

@jocko1000: Good point. There was too much Alex Keaton goes to war in that performance. Then again, that movie had a lot of problems.

They clearly made the right choice. No slam against Stoltz - while likeable, he has a a haunted and dour aura. Call it gravitas, call it being a wet blanket. In some roles that works very well: Mask, Some Kind Of Wonderful (ever-pining), The Fly II, Caprica (a perfect fit?), The Prophecy (rent The Prophecy RIGHT…

Spoilers ahoy:

Usually it doesn't work when they are trying to be too topical. Between Vampires Suck, that Verizon commercial and even the lamented Huge ('Phantasma') they seem a little late to the Twilight parody bandwagon. Come to think of it, The Simpsons already razzed Twilight with the 'Red Moon' book cover (featuring a…

@Seamus McClernan: It does suck. It would be far better to air Treehouse well before Halloween, in the first week of October, rather than the first week of November. Hell, since th Holiday has become something of of a national Mardi Gras - a pagan/geek bacchanal no longer just for kids - all of October is now…

EVERYONE is an asshole to them. Jim's coworkers. JJ's math teacher. Daphne's backstabbing friend and cheating boyfriend. Stephanies pissy coworkers and demanding boss (who secretly heads an Evil Conspiracy). The royal bitches and bastards who they call their neighbors. Stephanie's catty fellow moms. The only…

Aren't they a bit late to the steampunk bandwagon, just like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and umpteen other movies in development are a bit late to the vampire bandwagon?
