The only good thing about STID was watching it on DVD and the SO saying, "let's fuck. It's not like we'll miss any of the plot."

Only on TV, a la Black Mirror.

The movie I loved on cable as a kid and always wanted to see again was "Brazil." Super weird=super interesting to kids.

As long as the subject is directors who should have made more movies," MST: The Movie"'s Jim Mallon should have made more "MST: The Movie"s.

Rickman is, pretty much, a god. Agreed.

You can actually watch the "Heavenly Creatures" Peter Jackson die during the 40-minute CGI battle sequence in "Two Towers." And the "King Kong," "Hobbit" Jackson take birth.

Remember when "Who" fans were the bottom of the nerd universe? When "Trek" geeks could say "at least I'm not as big a loser as a Doctor Who fan"? That wormhole has turned . . .

Seriously! There's enough talent out there in TV land to start this thing back up and do it well. But I guess we'll have to wait for people to get sick of the new movies, then for people to forget the new movies, so . . . maybe by 2020.

Does that make him crrrraaaaazzzy?

Unless mine eyes deceive me, that photo's from Smith Rock State Park in Oregon. Oregon props!

Beatty in that "Dick Tracy" thing is pretty fun (more fun than in the movie by a long shot.) He should do a modern-era version with the 107-year-old character!

It was a total "Captain Kirk gets out of a jam with his awesome sex prowess" bit. With a character that spoke in rhyme. It did lead up to the evil tree though, my favorite thing in that book.

Huh. I didn't have any problem with the animation in "Waltz With Bashir." I thought it provided some distance so the recollections became more intense. We see so much violence onscreen, both real and dramatized, that it becomes a bit numbing. The animation helped make it more real for me, if that makes sense, so the…

"Children Of Earth" was fab. Capaldi as the weak-kneed prime minister negotiating with the rubber tentacles in the fog-filled terrarium was so fantastic. Scariest rubber-tentacle monster ever.

Thanks for the REM clip. I needed that.

Very sensible response. Now, somehow, we have to convince the entire rest of the world on the Internet to make sensible, instead of cheaply snarky, responses. (I'm all in favor of the bitingly brutal clever ones, God/Buddha/Elvis help me.)

I dunno if I'd say "lazy." Here she does a twist on the usual expectations female comics (or gay comics) face. If you don't find the twist amusing or interesting, that's fine. But it's not lazy. It takes effort and thought to work out a concept like she does here.

"Agricultural parasite called the Blight." I looked to see if Paolo Bacigalupi, the sci-fi writer, was credited for this. He's not. He'll find it oddly familiar.

That Red Letter stuff is too great. Check out their takes on TNG movies.

Self-loathing and egotistical pride are perennial faves.
