“Like a loophole? I feel like that’s kind of the end, right? Like can you come back? Could it be a vampire version of the character? Cause I’m here for that, like a zombie version, maybe.”

Dum Dum Girls’ cover of “September Gurls” might be my favorite Undercover piece:

I’d include both Phoenix and Driver over DiCaprio. Watching him once again felt like watching a senior starring in his high school’s big play. You’re rooting for him to vanish into the role, but he never really does.

Huh. On one hand, who among us didn’t go a little insane during quarantine? On the other, most of us channeled that frustration into baking banana bread and learning TikTok dances, rather than randomly antagonizing journalists for simply doing their jobs.

I was gonna say exactly this. I’m a typical jaded middle aged Star Wars fan; I grew up in the wake of the OT, I was there on opening night for Phantom (and left thinking what the fuck?), and after the prequels I thought I was done with Star Wars. Others like the prequels, I know; they weren’t for me, and neither was…

You could literally write the name of each episode from the first three seasons on little scraps of paper, pin each scrap to a dart board, throw 10 darts and whichever 10 episodes you hit first would make up a list that reasonable people would agree was pretty good (while still arguing for their own personal…

The Brian Williams method.

John Carpenter really does not care...

To squint and make a ridiculous attempt at doing an accent?

Best: Anything where it makes sense that his character squints a lot and looks, acts, and sounds just like Leonardo DiCaprio.

To your point, Abel Gance’s 1927 masterpiece  Napoléon was originally something like 9 1/2 hours and covered only Napoleon’s college years to 1796—right after he marries Josephine and leads France’s advances into Italy. Gance had planned to make five more films that would cover the rest of Napoleon’s life, but from…

No Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil, The Brak Show, or Assy McGee, either. Each had short runs (Lucy had just one season), but each was way better than the anti-comedy bullshit that tops the list.

Roupenian’s short story is a solid piece of work, and it certainly hit at the right time.

That all being said, this is an opportunity go back to John Carpenter’s original vision and use the Halloween brand not as a way to tell Michael Myers stories but as a way to tell scary stories that just happen to take place on Halloween. Maybe it could be an anthology, with Michael serving as a Cryptkeeper-style host?

So... she’s now claiming that she thought that “the Oscars, in all its political correctness, was telling the world it was okay to make jokes at the expense of a woman suffering from alopecia”, but at the same time that the father of her children was involved in a skit about said jokes, but also specifically didn’t…

I rarely get headaches, and yet I think I’ve developed a full-on migraine from reading this. The point-of-view just ping pongs back and forth from paragraph to paragraph.

It also *felt* like (to me) using “Good Riddance” for a big send-off had been done to death, even if it hadn’t, and it felt kind of weird for Seinfeld, of all shows, to use it for the clip show, given its “no hugging and no learning” ethos.

I watched the remakes only once each. I might have to check out the first one again based on what you’re saying.

I haven’t seen the episode yet. When I saw Tasha in the header image—and with that headline--I was like “Nooooooo.” I’m rooting for Tasha to take it all.

It’s been a minute since I’ve watched the original Black Christmas, but I don’t think Agnes is in it; she’s in the 2006 remake. You don’t really know much about Bill in the original, for that matter. You don’t even learn his name—or his intentions, which makes it all the more creepy.
