The world has to be saved using as many different colors of energy beam as possible

I dunno, I thought it was interesting. I'd never seen it that way but I like the idea.
Uncle Wikipedia tells me you are correct! I had that wrong all this time; my apologies. I really thought they'd worked with Kaufman.
Yeah, that's a good point. It might just be too many chicken nuggets in one sitting. These movies are pure cinematic junk food, after all.
I never understood that at all. Not then, not now. If they really were hungry for greater fame and fortune, that was never going to be a breakout hit with the kiddos.
I can't go as far as to say I grew up loving their films, but this did read to me like the reviewer wasn't really open to receiving them on their own wavelength. Troma's doing it's own funky thing, man; the self-aggrandizement isn't really the point.
Two things. First up, back in the video-store days, Troma carved out a very specific niche. The internet has taken that niche over (and, erm, greatly expanded it *cough* 4chan *cough cough*), but for awhile there, there was nothing else like it out there. I rented Surf Nazis Must Die entirely from the title and…
I was thinking something similar on a rewatch of Big Trouble in Little China. It's such a shaggy movie, constantly wandering off on weird little asides and zagging every time it seems like it's certain to zig. I posted about it over at The Solute, and how much I wish more movies like this were made. But @glorbes…
I never did figure out what The View was going for, even considering her. I still don't get it, actually.
Given how off the rest of this sounds (I haven't seen it, and won't), I wonder if she was trying to play to the cliche, and not, you know, have this actually represent a real live person. On that note, maybe she's going for a gender flip on the cliche of the nice, gorgeous girl who deserves someone a thousand times…
Same. Not cool guys.
Man that's the weird thing about Tarantino. I think he cared a great deal, but it's like he wanted us to get on his specific anti-hang-out vibe for that one. I don't think he's made a film he dismissed out of hand yet; he doesn't seem like the type at all.
My favorite dub ever. Yippee Ki Yay, *Mister Falcon*. Not even close.
It's tough for me to hold Death Proof to the same standard as I would, say, Jackie Brown when Tarantino's clearly playing around with the film. It's a hang-out movie, it's deliberately slack, it's a huge wiseass bait-and-switch, whatever you want to call it. I just can't be convinced that Tarantino set out to make…
Honestly, I'm just relieved to be moving away from the Wall, period. It was never my favorite part of the books. From the very start, I was like "this kid seems decent, maybe he'll—aw man, the Wall…" If the show simply ignored the Wall until the Great Big Battle at the end, that would be fine by me.
That's kind of the point. I was building on what @drclinthandsome:disqus said; I thought Missy should be insulted that the idea was even put forward.
No idea, but I loved it the instant I heard it.
Every time an actor answers the question "what are your career plans?" with a raspberry and a "hey, I'm getting paid to do this so life is good," I think to myself that at least one of them gets it.
I don't like her verbal blackface thing. It's not as bad as Iggy Azalea (R.I.P.) but there's another reason the writer compared her to Missy Elliott, and it, umm, isn't the relative quality of each of their work.
