I don't know much about Polish slang, but I really hope that a culture with a rich culinary tradition of delicious sausage uses a different, seemingly random foodstuff for that metaphor.

Your use of the word "this" instead of "that" or "it" strongly implies that you were masturbating while writing that post.

Walking Dead has some nice 16mm cinematography (probably the one redeeming feature of the show, aesthetically speaking), but I thought Super 16 was the go to for other shows? It doesn't have the same glow.

It was made for TV in the early 90s, which means that for many denizens of this website (self included) it provided some of their first access to horror-movie imagery (ie, clown with fangs) at a very impressionable age. It's garbage to watch as an adult, but we live in an era where mindless early-90s nostalgia has…

The best facial prosthesis a TV-movie budget in 1996 can buy!

You… you've never seen the TV version of The Shining? Do yourself a favor, block out three hours, get some strong drink, and prepare to be… profoundly underwhelmed.

The movie takes the basic elements of the book (haunted hotel, abusive dad, abused family) and uses them to tell a different story than King. King's version is about a man being overwhelmed by his demons but just barely redeeming himself; Kubrick's version is about a woman and a kid trapped with a man who ruined…

(Kubrick lines up at midnight to get a ticket for Dune)

Cinema history is filled with this sort of thing (Kubrick terrorizing Shelly Duvall, Hitchcock spraying Janet Leigh with cold water, Kurosawa firing real arrows at Toshiro Mifune), and cinema lovers (self included) have a habit of talking about it like it's admirable. The idea that performances are "better" when the…

My wife and I started watching it - she got unnerved/annoyed about twenty minutes in, and I lasted maybe forty minutes. At a certain point the subjects are so idiosyncratic and obsessive that the whole movie starts to feel like a freak show.

If a question contains the words "Stephen King" and "continuity," the answer is always "Randall Flagg."

There's got to be something significant about how many Simpsons references this Married With Children article has conjured up.

I watched Kiki's Delivery Service not long after my son was born, and it's probably my second favorite behind Spirited Away (though if I were going to watch one of them right now, it would be Kiki's Delivery Service. That movie's just so calming). I have a copy of Princess Mononoke that I really need to sit down and…

They really do - I started picking those up on Amazon UK because The Beyond wasn't available on Blu Ray in the US, and it's grown since then. The Beyond and Phenomena are both region-free and go for a pretty penny on Amazon, but I wouldn't want to rebuy them. Tenebrae I just haven't gotten into, and I would gladly…

"What happens if you tell mom and dad about this?"
"You'll put Ariel in the garbage disposal."
(Take a drag on a cigarette)
"God damn right I will."

He pulls the trigger, a little puff of dust comes out of his ears, and his mouth keeps moving like nothing happened.

I've said this before, but I can totally see Kushner becoming the fall guy for something. If he was the only one in the administration to get jail time, I'd be surprised, but if he was the only member of Trump's family, I wouldn't be.

It's at least two months overdue.

I don't go to a lot of concerts, but Sleater Kinney is spectacular live. Do yourself a favor whenever they go on tour.

My only gripe with the Hot Rock is that the production is kind of flat, especially compared to One Beat or even Dig Me Out, where the guitars and drums sound a lot bigger. It's still probably my second favorite, behind Dig Me Out and just ahead of One Beat.
