I expect Scream Queens to be far campier than this, but no better. All Ryan Murphy's projects are insincere. He's a genre tourist.

When you describe your love as "violent," you're admitting that it's unreasonable.

This episode felt more competent than last week, at least in its acting and direction. But god, it's Pretty Little Liars level boring.

This is exactly my issue with the reach for Lynch elements in Refn's last two movies. "I understand the notes you're trying to hit, but I'm too conscious of you trying to hit them."

Imitation Lynch is always really difficult to pull off, though. In fact, I've never seen it done well.

Everyone on the show, regardless of gender, is a Ken doll.

Scream 2 needed more time in the edit, but has a few great scenes in it. Scream 3 is just boring. And Scream 4 felt like its makers hadn't seen a horror movie or teenager since Scream 3 came out.

Django Unchained is one of the least fun movies to think it was fun ever.

I give both men and women a C+. I think that sounds fair. There's room for improvement. We all have a lot of untapped potential.

Yeah, the House of the Devil comparison makes sense. But in general, people have a habit of talking about Black Dynamite as though it's something it isn't, so I'm used to it.

Matinee and Gremlins, by far.

One of the more annoying things about Korine is if you read his interviews, he's always going on about how he doesn't judge his subjects, he merely observes them. But if you actually watch his movies, he's one of the most judgmental (and condemnatory) filmmakers alive. All his stuff is old man woe-to-the-world…

Gummo is unwatchable much of the time, and it's somehow the closest thing Korine has to a good movie.

They began theatrically with Close Encounters, but yeah, Blade Runner and (of all things) The Lawnmower Man got that home video trend moving.

I get that the person who wrote this is a fan, but I'm quite sure Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead doesn't have cult status. That's just my opinion based on being alive and paying attention to things.

That's actually an interesting point. Clueless was liked, if I remember, but not really a movie teens were obsessive about until a later generation. The Craft didn't even have that kind of rep. Dazed and Confused was huge. If you were white and middle class, Mellon Collie was the Bible.

Movies that are too '90s for the '90s:

It's okay, but the teenagers in it are more boring than teenagers in real life.

It's a very slight movie, but at the time it felt like adults condescending to us, which creates vitriol.

Yup. I was 16 when this hit video, and knew it was bullshit. But I find the movie's fans to be generally harmless, so whatev yo.
