I’d go with Obi-Wan’s fight against Jango Fett. It’s the only fight in the trilogy that feels like two relative equals physically struggling against each other, rather than just a series of choreographed moves, and hence, it feels like it has higher stakes. Having it occur in a wet, murky environment adds to the…

I’ll say it because, why not... of all the “acclaimed actors” of recent decades, I always found Kevin Spacey the most overrated. He always gives the impression of an actor reading lines dramatically, rather than seeming like an actual person on screen.

I understand why they might photoshop a picture if they wanted to make the actors look more attractive, but that’s obviously not the intent here, and in other similar posters or DVD covers that look obviously photoshopped. Like this one for Groundhog Day, that for some reason sticks out in my mind as a particularly…

Look at the top 10 box office grosses of 1994, and realize that the list doesn’t even include Ace Ventura, Shawshank Redemption, The Crow and Leon: The Professional. That’s a hell of a year:

Pretty much the only reason I still come to this dying website are the comments.  Thank you for this gem that genuinely made me laugh.

I’m surprised nobody has rebooted the Shirt Tails.  Not that I think it needs a reboot, or that the reboot would be particularly good.  But nearly everything else from the 80s has been nostalgia-mined by now, and the Shirt Tails definitely were a thing from the 80s, so hey, why the hell not?

I remember playing a pretty enjoyable Ghostbusters arcade game in the late 80s as well, although I don’t know if they ever ported it adequately to any home consoles.

I see it took less than one paragraph to bring out the same old “lightning in a bottle” methaphor...

Funny you mention that, Dick Van Dyke relates a story where a random woman angrily confronted him and his actual wife for “cheating on that nice girl”, meaning, of course, his TV wife Mary Tyler Moore.  

I was unaware this was a thing until I read a piece of Slate that tried to guilt everyone for hating Anne Hathaway. It had something to do with the patriarchy, or something.

Add to that all those old monasteries and convents that are now nearly empty.  Seems like an ideal setting for horror film.

You know what, I watched that movie exactly once over 30 years ago, and when I saw his picture in the news article announcing his death, his performance in that film came back to me instantly.

Yeah, I’ve had almost zero interest in super heroes throughout my life, and even I remember that there was a Fantastic Four cartoon.

I’m not going to deny that body perception issues might exist for some girls in sports, Dove, but a quick Google search shows that the drop-off in sports participation going into and throughout high school for both genders is 70%. The most common reasons given are the intensification in competition long time…

Borgen would like a word with you.

One of the best decisions they made in that film was not to make Apollo a villain, and they cast an actor charasmatic enough to play the character as a generally likeable opponent. 

I’m from a generation that was too young to remember the original, and too old for the reboot. Am I lucky or unfortunate?

Ken should stay away from Prague.

On the other hand ... certain Pixar movies make me cry, a lot, like ugly, really ugly, cry.

Have the Swifties taken over the AVClub?  There seems to be a Taylor Swift article at least every few days recently.
