*Reads summary of Dream Girl* hmm, obnoxious bedridden guy pesters women about something he may not have actually seen, Hitchcock much?

Look at Cho’s disgusting, normal-sized legs! Spike should be able to have both feet flat on the floor while sitting up there, dammit! #NotMySpikeSpiegel

Screw your Canadian politeness! In seriousness, I do think it is bad, a whimsical celebration of a sociopath, but I know that is a minority opinion and I don’t begrudge anyone who thinks otherwise. 

Heh heh, not a fan of the basketball scene, eh? It might interest you to know that the effects supervisor on the movie was this guy Pitoff, who did a fantastic job here but wound up directing a little movie called Catwoman, which also has a basketball scene:

You are not wrong, Alien: Resurrection IS awesome. Gory anti-human fun, Jenuet is mainly interested in the various ways he can turn people and aliens into piles of viscera, and Khondji is with him every step of the way. And this winds up working with the existential musings of Whedon’s script (which is also pretty…

“Smoking is one of those common habits that’s been weirdly erased from 21st-century rom-coms, the better to paint a rosy, clean-cut picture of the world.”

Maybe not quite what you are looking for, but have you ever seen Gang Of Blue? Mario Van Peebles flick from the 90s about evil cops murdering Black people, it’s not as good as it should be, I think it was shot for TV, but Lang is one of the evil cops and he rules in it, I stumbled across it a while back and had a…

Did you not read the review? He’s not the unstoppable machine of Inseminator, he’s the crusty but caring protector of Inseminator 2.

“Famous figures introduce themselves by their full names. The cast delivers expository dialogue that awkwardly offers or reiterates historical context. Montages of thankless struggle and glorious success pass in a blur. There’s a third act “dark fucking period.””

Amazing Grace is an essential concert film that people worked extremely hard to recover, and once they did Franklin sued multiple times to prevent its release, even though she had obviously signed off on its filming in the first place 40 years prior. She never said why and I’m sure she had her reasons, but she…

I think he jokes about it being Franklin’s song now in the incredible concert film Shake! Otis At Monterey, although he does his damnedest to take it back.

There it is. God I love this movie and this whole sequence in particular.

The other part is that his overenthusiastic acting is pretty standard for child performers at that time but was about to get nuked, I think Osment in The Sixth Sense really re-set the bar for what kids could do. So it plays extra poorly now. But yeah, half of it is how the movie requires him to underline shit -- the…

“To be or not to be?” BLAM “Not to be!” So much good stuff in LAH, this is probably not fair to Penn but I assume Shane Black is responsible for a lot of this on the rewrite. And I love how no one told Tom Noonan that this is essentially a kid’s movie, he is fucking terrifying here.

Carrey, fish impalement and a top five car chase in The Dead Pool. Not joking. I don’t know if it’s a good Dirty Harry film but it is a wildly entertaining movie.

Zak Penn writing this points to a better comparison, I think — Penn was one of the people who came up with Last Action Hero, which is also about a person programmed for entertainment learning about his subservience to the “real world,” and has plenty of “amusingly reproduced cliches” in its action-comedy. That movie…

“this chipper, plastic mash-up of better fantasias”

I thought he did the fantastic monkey pee Dick Miller Random Roles, and I was right! https://www.avclub.com/dick-miller-talks-working-with-corman-scorsese-and-ge-1798231345

If I recall correctly they released a clip of the audio of that answer, to much rejoicing.

Damn, I know it was a while ago but they’re still picking him after all the N-bombs?
