There hasn't been a Predator movie I haven't liked, although Shane Black's almost got there. It's a shame, because Black has done some of my favorite films, but really it was the cast that saved it for me. Predator is, of course, iconic and amazing, but I think Predator 2 is under-rated, and Predators is my personal…

Predator 2 is great, Predators is really solid, and I have a soft spot for AvP Requiem.

Agreed... my response to his shoes is essentially, “eh, dorky.” It’s not revelatory or what I’d choose to focus on when talking about this shitsack person, and the jokes people made here about the shoes are pretty weak.

I think we can more or less piece together what happened at this point. She was annoyed that a teenager with no acting experience was the lead over the professionals, the rest of the cast took the star’s side, Smith, being a teenager, probably wasn’t as magnanimous about that as he could have been, her personal life…

Considering your parents/brother love them, and they are considered classics by a large portion of our society, perhaps they’re just something that’s not for you. You can not like something, but recognize that many do and that it’s not terrible. If your criticism revolves around the characters being mean to each…

Russell’s right-leaning politics aside, there is an argument that most celebrities of any political stripe live in rather self-obsessed cloisters of wealth, luxury and privilege that completely set them apart from 90% of the population, meaning that they mostly have very little of value to say on most given subjects…

I don’t like to base judgements on the way people look, but.....

Saw it when it aired on CBS at age 7. The blessed gift of childhood memory is that, until I found a bootleg on VHS years later, all I could remember was “Boba Fett!” and that for a brief moment I got to revisit that universe again.

What, this isn’t a face you can trust?

Anyone who wants to tell me that the sequels were worse than this flaming sack can exit

Looking ahead to what the column will be covering in months to come, I do think the end of the ‘90s sort of marks the end of interesting, enduring blockbusters being the norm rather than the exception from year to year. We’re looking ahead to a lot of franchise movies made more to cater to fanbases than anything else…

You know, in the lead-up to the Phantom Menace, it looked like Lucas was staying in the same mode he had for ESB and RotJ. He was focused on revolutionizing the movie industry by shooting in digital, using virtual sets with CGI characters in them, and we just assumed that he’d have capable people in charge of actually…

customers stuck in the store because they didn’t want to be seen leaving Fantasy Island,

Trumps demonizing mail in voting backfired “bigly”. Now they are telling departments not to even talk to Biden’s transition teams until the GSA approves which of course Trump’s flunky won’t do. And McConnell has just telegraphed along with other republican senators that they will be calling the Biden presidency…

Quick, go back and look up “impeachment” and come back to let us know if you want to stand by your original comment.  We’ll wait.

Cry harder.

Different strokes for different folks I guess, but I largely found Chappelle’s opening unfocused, sloppy, and seeming more like something he was putting together in the moment. There were a couple of sharp jokes and commentary, but a lot of duds and fading stream of conscious thoughts that never went anywhere. I’m a…

You’ll cream your jeans when you see

I still can’t believe the ego it takes to run in an election with no plan, no ideas, no reason except to sate their own ego.

10-15 years ago I bought a lot of DVDs (which is why I’ll occasionally find something on the shelf now and think “wait, when and why the hell did I buy this?”), and then stopped for a long time, though I’ve started again somewhat recently, though this time with Blu-Rays. This time only things I really love, like Coen…
