What about YouTube? A ton of illegal streaming is done off of there, and because of the sheer volume of content uploaded each and every second, screening out all illegal content is impossible.

Which, if you want to homage 1980's action movies, is right on.

“Your job is to rate movies on a scale from Good to Excellent.”

While I agree with your points in principle, I think it’s at least as likely that Sybil’s transformation here, rather than being an attempt at feminism, is just the writers wanting a sexy dragon-wielding terrorist, and choosing a name from the books to staple that character onto.

I normally don’t care a whit about what celebrities do in their personal lives or behind the scenes, but Lawrence Tierney is the exception. If you’re watching a movie or a TV episode with Tierney in it, and it has DVD commentary from the cast and crew, WATCH THAT SHIT, ‘cause you will hear some fine anecdotes, my…

The crew wishes it was just a box of raisins.

So this isn’t a sequel to Mant! where the guy gets turned into a half-man/half-mink?

El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer es el mejor!

My favorite of the Universal Dracula films is the oft-overlook Son of Dracula ... though that’s entirely for so-bad-it’s-good reasons. The film has so many unintentionally hilarious moments, it’s almost in Plan 9 From Outer Space levels.

Statler & Waldorf have gotta be Saruman. Guy spends most of his time shouting at people from a balcony, for criminy’s sake!

I’d say the message of the movie is more that life is random. Heck, that’s the line everyone remembers from it: “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna get.” The central joke of the film is its insane how much amazing stuff Forrest becomes a part of without ever seeking it out or even…

He’ll enter the public domain in 2024. Well, his copyright will expire in 2024. He’ll remain a trademark of the Disney corporation, and copyrights and trademarks follow completely different sets of rules.

Modern American copyright terms square up pretty well with what most of Europe has: life of the author plus 70 years (or 70 years from date of publication, in the case of works for hire).

Given The Office’s mockumentary conceit, if they hadn’t been able to afford the song, they could always have written in that the documentary crew wasn’t able to afford the rights to the song, with Michael being very disappointed to hear that they were going to edit his performance out.

So they’re dropping the Karate Kid movies but picking up the Cobra Kai series? That’s a weird choice.

Well, if YOU want to see Terminator 2, but can’t get a babysitter, what other choice is there?

They ever done Judge Dredd vs. Terminator?

It also gave us Showdown in Little Tokyo, an action movie that somehow manages to be MORE absurd and over the top than T2, despite the absence of killer robots.

So Terminator 2, Beauty & the Beast, and Silence of the Lambs all came out the same year?

Love it!
