I'm not sure if that's actually a Monkey Island quote, but it sounds like one. Comment/username synergy!!!

Fact: Beware the Slenderman would have been a better documentary if it just blamed the whole thing on Scott Walker.

I stumbled back onto this article, and it's nice to read your thoughts - I liked Twixt a lot on first viewing precisely because it was so overtly a movie about grief given a vaguely horror veneer, which it deliberately undercuts. Once the "boating accident" scene showed up, all I could think was "holy shit, Coppola ac…

To be fair, the North also had a bottomless appetite for jivin', and an appetite for shuckin' to match.

After watching "Beware the Slenderman" last week, my wife's big take-away point was that Wisconsonites have serious issues with acknowledging their problems.

Now I kind of want a DVD that just plays the movie, from the beginning, the moment you put it in the player.

I'm proud to say that when I was a kid (in the early 90s, granted) my favorite "novetly 45 from Grandma's collection" was They're Coming to Take Me Away.

Aw man, why do you have to bring race into a discussion of minstrelcy?

Since it was the SNL writers' room, I assume they got back at her by leaving turds on her desk. Human, dog, whatever.

Oh, that was him? Fuck that guy - if the song weren't so goddamn catchy I wouldn't have had the racist pronunciation of "Arab" stuck in my head for past 25* years.

I would describe their reasons as "bad," but they were reasons.

Didn't it used to be Direct to Video Purgatory? Though the slide into damnation seems appropriate based on the description of this movie.

It was good, but it wasn't mind-blowing.

You know when people talk about the coasts alienating middle America like it's a new thing? Yeah…

Of course it's essential - without Iowa what would connect Illinois to Nebraska?

THERE'S AN EXPLOSION BECAUSE HE SHOOTS A FLAMING ARROW INTO A MOONSHINE STILL.

Renny Harlin knows how to polish a turd. I even kind of like "Devil's Pass," his found-footage Russian wilderness horror movie, even if it saves all of its best ideas for the last ten minutes.

I say this regularly, and I'll say it again: Jurassic World is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, full stop. It is the epitome of empty, derivative, mercenary filmmaking. I was expecting it to be mediocre on the scale of Jurassic Park 3, but the complete dearth of original ideas and its overt contempt for its…

Jurassic Park is pretty much a fifty-minute chase buffered with exposition. The fact that it doesn't drift away into the ether is a credit to Spielberg and the cast (and the effects, of course).

Also, Skinner judging the Diorama-rama: "Packaged Star Wars characters still in the display box? It's Luke! And Obi-Wan! And my favorite, Chewie! They're all here!"
