Thomas Jane and Aaron Eckhart could park the cars.

Opposite reaction for me. I've tried multiple times to read Frankenstein without success. I flew through Dracula. The scenes where he feeds the baby, and later the baby's mother, to his minions still give me chills.

Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Booberry, Fruit Brute, and Yummy Mummy beat them to the monster shared universe by several decades. No respect for the classics.

What's particularly creepy is the way he stretches her name out to the full three syllables, "Bar-ba-ra." That's always stuck with me.

You know, for a group whose livelihood depends on the guy, these so-called "Shakespeare scholars" sure spend a lot of time trying to prove he didn't write those plays.

This was the first slasher film I ever saw in a theater. I went with a girl from school, who was part of the "cool kids" crowd who went to these things in packs to see if they could "handle it." I expected to be frightened, but after the first or second death, I was giggling out loud at how silly it was, which…

The video is clearly fake. Those offices are way too well-lit for DC.

I suspect Stephen King's Danse Macabre is a victim of this. I read it cover-to-cover several times before I saw a lot of the stuff it references. When I eventually saw the films, I realized he made a bunch of (minor) mistakes. He calls Klaatu's gift in The Day the Earth Stood Still a cure for cancer, for example, when…

The Spartacus thing immediately occurred to me, too.

As long as it's not a dream sequence, I'm okay with it. I'm wondering if Michael doesn't just start laughing hysterically at her and saying, "impossible, we don't make mistakes like that. It's clearly something else."

So far it's been deeply weird. I think the later episodes are better than the "high concept" pilot. Most importantly, though, it is funny, particularly Ted Danson. The episode focusing on Jianyu was a highlight.

Sure, you can always make a crack about J.R.R. continuing to publish 44 years after his death. But I think the real story here is that Christopher is still helping to pump this stuff out. At age 91, dude is ten years older than J.R.R. was when he died. Christopher is the one they should be checking for Elvish blood.

The original painted version of the original Rollerball, with the gloved spiked fist holding the ball and the tag line: "In the future, there will be no wars. But there will be Rollerball."

I've also always been partial to A Clockwork Orange: "Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape,…

I worked in a movie theater in the summer of '87, and every Thursday night, we had to watch the new films to make sure the reels had been spliced correctly and that there were no scratches, etc.

Another movie came out the same weekend as Robocop, I don't remember what, and I watched that because the one-sheet for Roboco…

Sulking Ted Danson is the best Ted Danson. Seriously, welcome back to comedy, big guy.

That's literally the first thing I thought of. "Hey, I love Star Trek. I watched every episode of every series on Netflix! The new one is on a pay channel that has only two new shows? 'Kay, bye!"

I guess it's settled. Henceforth all superhero movies will be 2-3 minutes long and scored with Johnny Cash songs.

As several commenters have already pointed out, the reason the original Rocky Horror became an audience-participation phenomenon is that the movie isn't very good. Some friends and I went to a full-boat showing about 2 years after it became a midnight movie staple and had a blast. We went back the following week, but…

Star Trek II was the first true "sell through" tape. I believe it sold for between $20 and $30.

The last time I replaced my TV, all the specials were on 4K models, so I bought one despite the fact that I'd read multiple articles stating the human eye can't really perceive the difference between 4K and 1080p on screens below 90". Regardless, the TV had 4K "upscaling," which simultaneously had the effect of…
