I didn't think there could be a musical hipster douche I wanted to punch more than Macklemore. Well done, Josh "Father John Misty" Tillman.

Too bad the truth is that Last Crusade is the actual worst of the series.
Who else thinks that complaining about remakes and sequels is just a way of pretending to have an opinion without having to put any thought into it?
I used to love Spike & Mike's Sick & Twisted Festival Of Animation. I saw the original Beavis & Butt-Head shorts long before MTV got them. But around 1995 or 1996 I had to stop going; too many of the shorts, like Lloyd's Lunchbox, went straight for the lovingly-rendered visceral grossout. I couldn't even complain -…
I liked the Ultimates, despite the nagging feeling that Millar was getting off on turning all the characters into dicks. But I'm still waiting for him to reach the heights he did on Superman Adventures, the most consistently enjoyable Superman comic of the 90s.
The 2009 Land Of The Lost movie is proof that Will Ferrell was put on this earth for the sole purpose of pissing me off. And yet, Elf is essential Christmas in my house.
I find it interesting that you call Harrison Ford your hero, given your username :)
One other: one night in 1997, some friends and I were at one friend's apartment, deciding what to see at the dollar theater next door. They all eagerly suggested Batman and Robin. I stood my ground and *begged* for a repeat viewing of Men In Black, or ANYTHING but Batman and Robin. I was outvoted, and mocked for my…
I saw a lot of movies that were bad, but at least in an entertaining way. Problem Child 2, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead…the kind of thing that we could come out laughing at how bad it was. One of the few that was bad in a way that just pissed me off was What Lies Beneath.
"I hope you like nachos…"
Why the hell did I wait so long to get into these movies? Until we get a sequel to The Wachowskis' Speed Racer, this is my go-to for Hot-Wheels-come-to-life.
His "analysis" is a bunch of buzzwords memorized from Syd Field's Wikipedia page, interspersed with some baffling (and potentially slanderous) assumptions against George Lucas' character, that just gets a pass because no nerd wants to put accuracy over hating Lucas.
Well of course. He made his bones pandering to nerds with an anti-Lucas rage-boner. It's not like he's gonna upset that gravy train.
"…behind the stupidity and misogyny, they were actually making some good points."
Don't forget all the buzzwords he memorized from Syd Field's Wikipedia page. "Hey guys, structure! Protagonist! Um…structure!"
Great, more from the Glenn Beck of nerds. The one nice thing is that I know I don't need to watch this, because I'm going to get it quoted at me on reddit for months.
Crystal Skull was great. A refreshing change from the high camp and daddy-issues of Last Crusade. It never had a fair chance, though; there are certain toxic pockets of nerd-dom that suffer from Lucas Derangement Syndrome.
The Beef & Cheddar with Horsey Sauce is amazing.
I meant the original series. For years I thought it was just that it was a campy comedy, but that's not really the problem. The Brave And The Bold showed that a campy, pop-art take on Batman can work, and in fact can be fantastic.
How is it that I find the '66 Batman as lazy and unimaginative as an Adam Sandler sequel…and yet I'm unreasonably excited for this?
