Because some guys can only remember when they were 12 or 14 and had a crush on their teacher and they can only process those sexual needs as sexual needs they have NOW. They see a hot girl. They think about how it would be to fuck them. Then they think back to when they were even MORE attuned to the slightest jiggle…

I got to see a 35mm print of this a few years ago, w/ Tsukerman and Carlise in attendance. The colors are STUNNING, even on an 30-something year old print. If this is ANYTHING like the Suspiria restoration (which, after years of a cruddy VHS and DVD transfers) this will be a really magical event. I *loved* my 2nd gen…

> Everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Sealed with a curse, as sharp as a knife,

I think it’s less the style itself, and more about what the style WAS, before it was ‘Guy Fieri.’ The bleached tips and the flames and Oakleys was the uniform of every brodacious bro-dude whoever bro’d a bro. It was Sneering Jock Val-Kilmer-as-Iceman crushes your art project in the parking lot My Dad’s a LAWYER. It’s…

Well, as a collective, we ARE pretty terrible.

Shudder isn’t bad, and it’s cheap enough that you can have it for 3-4 months, ‘til you’ve exhausted whatever of their catalog intrests you. Then you cancel for another few months and let new things rotate in, then reactivate.

Right... “sexual assault.”

There were spectacular sequences... The pod-race, not counting poor Jake Lloyd, was truly thrilling. But virtually everything involving a Gungan, and large swaths of the CG set extention and matte painting have that dreaded 90's ‘CEE GEE’ look where things are too clean and too precise to be real. A product of their…

It’s actually VERY good (easily one of the top ten best of the year), and works both as straight up horror (there are moments that are absolutely creepy and frightening, with no jokes for escape valves, as horror-comedy (there are jokes, sometimes related to the scary stuff, sometimes not) and an important message…

It’s a comedy in the same sense that, say, Dr. Strangelove is a comedy. (I would use the term ‘black comedy’, but, uh... anyway)

I will grant you that neither CG Leia or Tarkin were great, but compare those 2 rather quick moments to overstuffed, overanimated, and poorly shot (mostly due to Lucas not listening to his technical people and taking an extraordinarily expansive view of “We’ll fix it in post”)

Don’t let the nostalgia get to you. The prequels looked bad, too. Not as bad as the plot or dialog or acting, but there was a whole lot of weightless bouncy animation and some shoddy blue/green screen work... Force Awakens and Rogue One look a zillion times better.

Yeah. That’s about right. No need to see it. You’ve got the central issue nailed. I saw it and came away angry that I could have done something better with 2.5 hours, like go to the dentist.

Anyone wanna make a bet he still has his letterman jacket and HS trophies out on display in the den?

Patrick Stewart is one of the only reasons I would watch, and damnit, it was adorable.

This is a bummer. The organization was amazing (I was just a patron) and the community around it will be sorely missed. There are other theaters in the area that could absorb most of the die hard audience, like the Arena (which is smaller, and mostly does pay-for-play so smaller films can be Oscar eligible) or New…

For some of us he’ll always be the guy that did Reservoir Dogs and wrote True Romance

The Dunkin / Krispy divide is a known thing. Krispy Kreme, as befitting its southern roots, are all about the fresh fried style..

I understand your pain. Nothing is what it was. Here I am stuck in the Great White North, only to be told “Tim Horton’s? Yeah, it used to be good years ago, but it got all corporate management-y and now they suck...”
