“Maybe a problematic take, but the world might be slightly better if everyone, no matter how big strong or tough everyone thinks you are, everyone was at least a little bit afraid that being rude to someone will result in you getting popped in the mouth.

I love William Hurt, RIP, but you’re thinking of Body Heat, not Body Double.  But if you love batshit, you’re in for a treat

I dunno, I think one could argue he at least perfected the 80’s erotic thriller with  Body Double, which while a pastiche/parody of Hitchcock’s Vertigo, is also a fucking batshit masterpiece and far funnier and weirder than any other film in that genre in that decade 

IN MORE IMPORTANT NEWS:

All I assume from a Barsanti article is that whatever he’s peddling is probably more nuanced in reality *even when it isn’t* because he’s just that bad and exploitative as a writer.  He sucks.  Appropriately, he’s the future of AVClub!

‘I liked Drew Barrymore, who gave a whole lot of presence to a role that basically could’ve been played by a mannequin.’

Barsanti performing wokeness to generate clicks again. You gotta hand it to him, he’s got a voice. The minute that I feel all the nuance and wit being sucked out of the room, I know whose article I’m reading.

“the editorial core of the site has been actively alienated from their jobs, and are taking most of the good freelancers with them.”

If ever there was a graphic novel that relies on its specific medium, it’s Here. A film adaptation would be like translating a laser show into braille. There’s no concept of a mainstream film version that would do anything but add a bunch of hokey narrative nonsense onto an idea that was executed perfectly the first…

Judomaster rules. Who else can look that confident and threatening while eating Cheetos?

Yes, by all means take the junkiest, buggiest site, and format your fucking articles as ‘slideshows’.

‘..popped into the bowl like a little turd, eyes like tis.’  I think this season has been a little pokey and overplotted but holy shit everything is gold when Baby Billy is onscreen.  Goggins is unstoppable.

Except what makes Officer Goodman a hero is that he did his job, diverted a violent mob and saved lives without firing a fucking shot... An actual hero cop in a role too often occupied by reactionary trigger-happy meatheads

The Big Short was an entertaining and zippy guide to the mortgage crisis, buoyed by a bunch of game performers.  ‘Vice’ was the beginning of McKay’s descent into a smug, overly gimmicky director who can’t get out of his own way.  Example:  The Margot Robbie bathtub bit from Big Short was a light, neat little gag that…

It’s clearly a parody of white boy power fantasies, and hardly subtle about it, but ok

What?? You wanna tell Mary Steenburgen that Ted’s sleeping with Cheryl Hines? Ppl treating Curb as of it’s reality are weird, man.

The fact that it was just yellow cake with chocolate icing is a beautifully heartbreaking detail

Well, they got #1 right.

The chocolate cake scene is the key to the whole damn movie, it’s a miracle that it even exists, and anyone who doesn’t appreciate it is dead to me.  Straight up Raimi’s masterpiece.

Thanks for the reminder that Anya Chalotra is the most insanely attractive human in popular culture. What is the point of this comment? I don’t know. Anya Chalotra’s insanely attractive face bade me do it.
