I've always thought that part of the appeal of the zombie movie/show in the 21st century has to do with its appeal to people who think they would be awesome at surviving in a post-government world. I think to many people, the zombie apocalypse looks like a lot of fun.

The thing is, even if this advice is somewhat rote, it's a much more interesting way to look at poetry than the idiotic advice Robin Williams was shilling. I would much rather read a poem and try to quantify its qualities (however difficult that might be to accomplish) than to take the Western canon's great artists…

“You believed we might make decisive progress in the matter of how to watch a movie. So be it, but this was a ruse to make you look at life.”

Yes, Steve. This sounds exactly like The Conversation.

Weirdly enough, this is one of the least embarrassing moments in Star Trek V.

At this point, you kind of have to put Ford's age front and center, which is tricky. They managed to do a good job of reflecting on career and biological obsolescence in the original Star Trek movies, so there are precedents for doing this right. Take those films as your guide, Spielberg. And you can have this advice…

Longmire is a familiar and comfortable procedural with a great setting, some nice characters, and fun actors. It relies heavily on formula. But let's not kid ourselves; it's no more formulaic than the latest superhero TV show.

Are you trying to tell me that this isn't an attempt on the part of Today to raise money in order to fund more medical research that helps burn victims, because I just don't believe you.

I couldn't even make it to the end of this article, so I have no clue how you made it to the end of this series.

I guess what I was trying to say is that we expect Oscar nominated films to suck. But even for a sucky Oscar-bait film, The Imitation Game was especially awful.

The way that AV Club and others have feigned shocked at Kermit's new, amoral personality, I'd expect that he had killed his cousin Robin and then served him up to patrons at a French restaurant.

I know it's kind of silly to complain about Oscar nominated pictures not being any good, but, my God, The Imitation Game was one of the absolute worst best picture nominee I've ever had the misfortune of seeing. It's like they crammed every Oscar-bait cliche into one horrendous film.

But she also shoots a shotgun. So, feminism!

"gags involving Soulja Boy and Britney Spears ensure that it will appear laughably dated within a decade at most"

Pretty great interview. Carpenter seemed to be in a fine mood. I would be interested in hearing more about his music, which appears to interest him more than filmmaking these days.

And it was shot in real time!

Damn. That got heated. I actually appreciated Cabin in the Woods more after seeing it a second time. I do think there are more layers to the film that are revealed on repeat viewing. I can kind of understand how horror fans might be pissed off at how the film was greeted as a take down of horror cliches, when it was…

All right, I've only read one book by King, Salem's Lot. It wasn't a bad vampire book, but even as a high schooler, I recognized that some of King's prose was schlocky. Is there a book that non-King fans should start with? (I'm perfectly open to reading horror, so you don't have to throw Green Mile at me or something).

Good to see that all crime in the U.S. has stopped, because that's the only explanation I can think of as to why the LA and NY police are even engaged in this thin-skinned, Micky Mouse bullshit.
