It seems like elevated horror is just horror with arthouse pretensions. Take out the obvious camp, bury the exploitive aspects in solemn philosophizing, make it look good and you’ve brought in a new audience. I can’t completely argue against it, we’ve gotten some fantastic horror in recent years, I just think the…

Curtis removing her glasses in Wanda is the most attractive any human being has ever been.  

Too profound a connection with Planet Houston?  

Now that’s just hilarious mean.

Damn, I never had that experience or even watched the show and that still made me tear up.

I know of at least one instance an unflattering version of Roger Ebert appeared in a movie following a bad review of a prior movie in the franchise: Child’s Play 3.  I imagine something like that happened with Ebert more than once.  

I am a forensic social worker in public defense. My clients’ charges range from failures to appear in court to extremely brutal homicides. One thing I find interesting about my work is how often my capacity to empathize with someone doesn’t line up with the seriousness of their charge. I’ve had DUIs I find hard to…

You’re weird. 

I mean, when you say shit like that you can’t help but sound like Kevin Spacey in Seven, but it’s more or less true. Please understand none of this is to defend Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey in Seven, or Kevin Spacey in life.

I’m saying I don’t believe in inherently bad people. For that matter, I don’t particularly believe in redemption. If you do a bad thing you generally can’t undo the damage by doing good things. Bad behavior is just bad behavior, there isn’t some magic cosmic scale we need to tip. But we do need to recognize the…

It’s a quote from a Community episode where there’s a debate about human nature.  Seemed apropos.  

If there were such a thing as bad people, of course he would be. I’m saying there’s no such thing as bad people. Dangerous people, absolutely. Harvey Weinstein is an incredibly dangerous person who needed to be removed from having power over anyone, ever. But it’s important to differentiate between bad behavior, which…

You know, it’s weird. I tend to think there isn’t such thing as a bad person. It’s all down to free will not existing. We’re all just lumps of flesh and synapses and if one person is capable of doing something atrocious, given the right circumstances, everyone is. There but for fortune, etc. I also tend to think we…

Wait til Bond teams up with basically Osama Bin Laden.  

I enjoy The Living Daylights. Solid, standard John Glen entry with good work by Dalton and a villain that functions as a pretty funny sendup of American militarism. I appreciate License To Kill trying to break up the formula a bit, but imitating an American action movie, drug dealers, roadhouse bar fight and all,…

...the film deserves credit for featuring the first Black Bond girl, Rosie Carver...

Yeah, that’s pretty bad, especially considered Quantum of Solace is nearly always compared to Bourne stylistically.  

Much as I respect Bjork as a person and an artist, holy hell she’s cute. 

 He is kind of a chihuahua of a human being, isn’t he?
