I wouldn't call the sequels terrible (though Woo's 2nd film might be one of the most fascinating disappointments in a favorite director's careers that I've experienced) but they don't hold a candle to that first film. De Palma is a god.

Summer of 96 was a regular slugfest for me as a movie fan. I FUCKING HATED the top two earners of Independence Day and Twister, found myself having to constantly defend Mission:Impossible from the dipshits who loathed it despite turning it into a mega-hit, and was pretty much all alone in my admiration for Escape…
This guy didn't like "The Wolverine", so, ya know, fuck him.
Fuck a Ray Lamontagne. He sapped the song of all its weird energy. The Femmes is at least an original take that plays as odd and off kilter as a cover of this song ought to.
And people were pissed back when Denzel got cast in "Malcolm X" before seeing the film, simply because he wasn't light enough.
The non-parody "Twelve Chairs" and "Life Stinks" contain some of my favorite bits not just in comedy, but maybe in all of film history. In the former, the sequence where Dom DeLuise takes perverse pleasure in smashing the chairs he's discovered may be the high point in the actor's career. In the latter, the…

Autobiography of a Flea or GTFO John.
Funny that one of Ebert's last, greatly contentious reviews was his one-star write-up of….The Raid.
"The eternally non-prolific Redford, who only makes a few films a decade but makes sure no one remembers them…"
Come on. The third season episode of "Boston Legal" where the guy takes a bunch of staff from Crane, Poole and Schmidt and forces them into a kangaroo court because he thinks Denny Crane is responsible for his shit life after Denny had defended the man who supposedly murdered the gunman's mother when the gunman was…

I still have it, though I lost the slipcase years ago. It's also on that killer B-sides CD comp he put out.

Man, the best thing about this album is that it gave us "200 Balloons", the amazing b-side to "Batdance". THAT is a Prince track for an A-list mix.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting Jack Frost on this top 10. I have never met another MST3K fan who put that in their top 10. Then again, I need to meet more MST3K fans.

No, just like I love some Minor Threat, but I didn't go all militant SSD straight edge. For me it was as much how Chuck said it as what he said. FOABP is also one of the first experiences I had with a very in your face political piece of music, much of which made me nod my head or made me think about what was said. …
