Don't Feat the Roofer is one of my (few) favorite episodes of late era Simpsons. The final summation (Stephen Hawking and everything) has become a mainstay of discussions with fellow fans. I think it's a perfect lampooning on how scientific explanations for extraordinary phenomena can sound even more far-fetched than…

"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre": Great tag-line and as chilling as the film

That paragraph dedicated to "Robocop" is great writing. Definitely the best film of that year and one of the best ever. I watched "Lethal Weapon" for the first time a few months ago and was dissappointed. There is an exchange in the film that summarizes my impression of the movie better than anything else: "Pretty…

I can't wait for Season 5 of Arrested Development, just because you know they're going to incorporate the zany (to put it mildly) events of this election cycle. Season 4 had the Herman Cain parody, but it also laid the groundwork for a storyline regarding the border Wall. At the time, the idea of a massive wall along…

This Inventory manages to avoid one of my pet peeves when people talk or write about movies: saying that a new adaptation of a literary work is a "remake". I've lost count of the times the word has been mistakenly applied. I mean, Gus Van Sant's "Psycho" is notoriously a shot-by-shot remake of Hitchcock's "Psycho",…

The loss of Juan Gabriel is devastating. We've had many great singers and composers, but GREAT singer-songwriters can be counted on one hand and Juan Gabriel was definitely one of the two best of his kind. As a lyricist, he was one of the best poets of his generation, with a command for traditional romance styles and…

Memorable Quotes and the Lists is where it's at.

The "Gay Cowboy Montage" from the Jon Stewart show. Still cracks me up.

For showing at movie theaters, family movies/animation or really big releases (like Star Wars) are shown dubbed and subtitled (although showtimes vary). Mexicans are used to reading subtitles and enjoying the movie at the same time.

I wish somebody else besides Maureen Dowd had written the article, preferrably someone whose grasp of film history and business went beyond Dowd's Beltway-Gossip style prose where she sums up people and films in simplistic "Boys watch movies like THIS, Girls watch movies like THIS" or treats us to descriptions of her…

That guy was the highlight for me too (and that crazy-catchy theme song).

D'OH!

Along with "The Simpsons", "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home" is one of my reference points for animated domestic sitcoms (I used to watch it on Cartoon Network re-runs). Pretty much every show seems to derive from these two sources. What I'm trying to say is: "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home" needs to have more…

"AHHHHHHHH….the French…"

He shows up at 3:50…and I'm pretty sure there are crazy falangistas that would root for him still.

A fine supercut, but I think this is even better, thanks to the great music choice, more frenzied pace and more personal choices. It's been a favorite of mine for years.

Bill Hader and Michael Shannon…I can't believe I'm the only one who'd like to watch those two as brothers.

"Chaplin" was my first biopic, and still one of my favorites. A great film.

I had a crush on Kerry Condon from "Rome", so when they showed it on TV I had to watch it…the fact that it also starred Li, Freeman and Hoskins (one of my all-time favorites) really sold it for me. I think the review sums up my feelings pretty well, especially about the different tones that (amazingly) work for me.

This is one my favorite movies ever, and a top biopic. I don't understand all the hate the film gets. I understand how the flamboyant and hammy acting/world might rub some people the wrong way, but I think it's fun (this might be my favorite Quaid performance…Ryder is so pretty and sweet, and the supporting cast is…
