A couple people probably said it in some unswept corner of the internet, though the only person I've heard actually make the complaint is Donald Trump, who is always trying to appeal to his worst conception of humans. But whatever, it's a good publicity hook for the movie, and gets people clicking on Gawker sites, so…

Tropic Thunder was the best American movie of 2008, but then the extended cut killed its rhythms, and that's the most available version now.

A very large percentage of them are more concerned about that.

I think Noah is actually a bit less committed to parroting the leftist party-line than Stewart. It comes out only in subtle ways, but it's there. Oliver's show is good primarily because he delves deep on topics others don't, but his take on everything is never willing to challenge or step out of synch with his…

There are definitely some people who are angry that the Ghostbusters are women, but the media and certain twitter "film personalities" are trying to sell a couple dumbasses with the internet as equal to an epidemic. I will see the movie and I want to like it, but from reading things online, most of the actual…

I STILL have it on cassette.

If the movie isn't good (I'm remaining optimistic), they'll give it a B-.

He had some sort of drug addiction after Soundgarden's breakup and through the recording of the first Audioslave album, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't even drink now.

The snakiness of these newswire items, and their disparaging of substantial artists who aren't at peak trendiness, is always revealing.

-100 for saying "tone poem."

I've only seen Drive and OGF, and they're both really affected movies. I don't have any sense that Refn's style is more than a pose (it isn't original and in his bones, like Lynch, Mann, Hill, Noe, and the others he reaches toward), so I'm curious to give his earlier stuff a look.

It was a very nondescript musical decade. At least around 2012, white people finally started realizing how white they were, and things picked up a bit.

This will be about Bruce Willis killing the SJWs who doxed his wife for making racist jokes on Twitter, causing her to commit suicide. I might disagree with his politics, but Roth's last two movies were the first to actually establish his "voice."

Is this the thread where we confess to this stuff? Okay, the girl I'd started dating at the time gave me a hand job at a screening of damn Surviving Christmas. It was under my jacket, so hopefully nobody else knew about it until right now. I still wouldn't go see Surviving Christmas 2, though.

I like everything up to Mother's Milk, plus One Hot Minute, and a few songs on Californication are kind of pleasant, but not really what I'd consider prime RHCP. I was once called a hipster by a drunk man who may have had a point.

They did want to be on Top 40 radio, though. If you read a lot of Angelo's interviews, a recurrent theme is his frustration at the impossibility of becoming "overplayed." Disney definitely tried to push the Psychotic Friends album in that direction, but then failed to promote it. Fishbone, themselves, seem to have way…

So? We projected movies by torchlight. Nobody in Canada understands why Americans worship the projected image and not (the true god) the projector, itself.

In the Entertainment Weekly Christmas Movie Preview issue, the entire writeup for Scream was just "DOA."

Possibly WTFkid isn't living in the USA. In the Canadian provide I was in, Scream was "Restricted" and Jerry Maguire was the Canadian-equivalent to PG-13.

I think Craven generally has better ideas than Carpenter (he was the only slasher filmmaker to really concern himself with survivors and the transference of evil through bloodline, proximity, or just misplaced guilt), but he wasn't always great at executing them. His best looking movie is actually Vampire in Brooklyn,…
