A Maze of Death is pretty great.  Really an underappreciated PKD story.

UBIK is crying out for an adaptation.  IMO, it’s PKD’s best story and would make a mind bending film.  Christopher Nolan would be excellent as well.

Waking Life gets pretty monotonous pretty quickly, but A Scanner Darkly is fantastic.  The Philip K. Dick book it’s based on is also excellent.

What is, “I see what you did there?”

I want to be ungreyed so bad! Need me some of that sweet, sweet ungrayed privilege.

The AV Club’s long national nightmare is finally over.

It’s hard to understand the AV Club’s absolute obsession with who’s going to be the next host of Jeopardy.

I thought no Part 2 was part of the joke.

Madonna was actually pretty good in this movie, and it’s not like people were beating Debra Winger’s door off its hinges.

Well, at least this won’t be on AV Club every day from now on.

Maybe NBC could include a ton of human interest vignettes, Rock appearances, and Jonas Brothers videos, like they do with the Olympics.  

Worse than Brando?

The line between irony and dismissiveness is thin and often crossed.

“Much like Star Wars, even in a galaxy far, far away, people still have common Earth names.”

I feel though that the other actors performances were pretty wooden in the 1984 David Lynch movie.  I liked Ken McMillan’s performance--he’s just going for it in a way that no one else is anywhere in the film.  The trouble with that character, IMO, wasn’t McMillan’s performance, it was all the uber-weird Lynchian crap…

Patrick Stewart didn’t play Duncan; he played Gurney Halleck, and did a pretty good job doing so. I think Richard Jordan played Duncan Idaho. The 1984 film was very well cast, despite its other flaws.

No, the entire movie was written by a marketing department.  I took the kids this weekend, and it’s a nearly plotless infomerical for Warner Bros.

I present to you Exhibit #1,523,987 in the case for the fall of western civilization.

I don’t know if I’d say that Springsteen is essential to American rock. Although he’s got some great stuff, I think there’s an element of Springsteen that has more profound regional importance than national importance. I think he’s like a Northeastern Lynyrd Skynyrd—an act that quintessential in one region with some…

It looked like a Dreamworks movie, which is generally no compliment.
