How about Dracula as an SS officer, and Van Helsing and the boys are a team of Allied commandos who learn he's a vampire and vow to stop him? It combines both of Homer's movie pitches to Troy McClure (RIP).

And that is such a goddamned dirty shame. Someone here once mentioned that the Arthurian legend lends itself so well to a shared-universe set of movies. The knights of the round table could have individual movies about their adventures a-questin' but they could be tied together by a central tale about the rise and…

There is SOOOO much rapey language in the novel during the descriptions of Dracula biting Mina. Part of the contagion theme in the book is the corrupting influence this dark menace from the east has on the emerging modern woman who is otherwise virtuous represented by Mina. Lots of Victorian novels feature young girls…

It's still one of the most satisfying visual feasts I've ever been a guest at. The whole prologue in the 15th century is an amazing short film. And all the callbacks to it throughout the movie do what no other Dracula movie has succeeded in doing: exoticize Eastern Europe as a wild and frightening and alluring place…

Does that feature a vampire who subsists on leafy greens?

I knew I had seen this guy before. He's the head of the ACLJ, which used to be featured prominently on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. It's a legal organization that, supposedly, uses the legal system to enshrine explicit favoritism toward evangelical Christianity in American public life. This guy is a huckster, a…

"Remember when this site focused on pop culture, and not Trump, the Jonestown-like suicide pact our country is engaged in, and other current events?" — some tiresome, whiny dumbass

It's playing at the same theater as Prognosis Negative and Sack Lunch.

I am very much not joking. I have had to ask specifically for a spicey salsa in every single Mexican restaurant I've been to here. I'm originally from the southwest, so I expect things like chilis, cumin, pico de gallo, etc. The upper Midwest is the most dispiriting place in America when it comes to Mexican food. The…

Okay. Thanks. I appreciate the clarification, because it was a serious question on my part. When you said "it wasn't that long ago," I assumed you meant something in the last 5-10 years, and I couldn't think of anything. As you said, you have to go back 40 years and a couple of paradigms ago to find violent lefties…

…all to strengthen his hold on absolute power. We really mustn't forget Caesar's determination to gather all civic and military power to himself, permanently. We also mustn't forget that wide swaths of Roman society were perfectly willing to let him do this. We also mustn't forget that this was an abandonment of 450…

Are you thinking if something specific when you mention "left wing violence"?

I just saw it for the first time last year. I'd say it holds up alright, but it probably wasn't as good as it should have been in the first place. It did have one of my favorite lines ever, though. Peter Boyle's character came around the corner, stripped down to his underwear, and seized with delusions that he is God.…

I don't think you understand what "awesome" means…

I think they're upset that she was allowed to speak her mind.

I'm 99% sure Trump has done just that at some point in the last 18 months.
