Let's just focus on the good stuff: Fusco. We don't need any other characters anymore. We just need Fusco delivering lines like, "That made it easy for me to break my thumb." And that only worked because we had seen Fusco bawling his eyes out a moment earlier. Without that vulnerability, it would have been way to

The "Dalek Effect", aka The "Borg Effect" is a very similar phenomenon to the "Worf Effect".

Look at the badges holding those shoulder-pads in place.

Say "what" again!

It's Turkey Day, so you have to ask yourself one question: Who were those turkeys?

DEMAND RIDING WITH DEATH.

I'm fine with that, but it didn't need to be so damn loooooong. It just went on and on and on. The NYC battle could have been cut down to something tenser, more dramatic, and simply more fun, without losing the good bits.

I'm less certain. I think the "right" thing to do might be maximize the farce. It's an insane, coke-addled romp through a fantasy version of the US. I think that should be embraced.

A decade ago, he could have done Arseface.

LOL WUT? It's one of the funniest comics ever made. It's laughs from top to bottom. Yes, everyone in the story takes dick-headed Herr Starr perfectly seriously, and nobody wants to interrupt Quincannon while he fucks a pile of meat, but the entire story is one, long, dirty and vile joke.

"Oh, go reconst some flavo-fibes." MST3K classic Overdrawn at the Memory Bank has many flaws, not the least of which is Raul Julia's Humphrey Bogart impression. But the most glaring flaw is the fact that it needs to cram every scene with meaningless technobabble. You don't drink juice, you drink "reconst". You don't

Fer crap's sake, people need to grow the hell up. This is the worst example of "spoiled privilege" that I have yet seen. It's a seven minute promo. The key "surprise" is practically the first thing you see in the short. These spoiled children should stop whining.

The article where I originally learned about them. I'd have to go hunting.

The silver fox is not yet fully domesticated. They tame well- better than wild foxes- but it's still an open debate as to whether they've crossed the "domestic" threshold.

A side effect of domestication is frequently reductions in intelligence. If you tried to breed hyenas into a domestic strain (a very long term prospect), you'd likely be breeding their intelligence down, as well.

I can't agree with that at all. The visuals in his films are probably the only thing worse than the scripts. In his defense, he was pretty good at it, in his Bad Boys era. He started to lose the thread in Armageddon, in which key set pieces were incomprehensible messes, but it did have a visual style and flare. By the

In The Power of Kroll, Tom Baker wore the most insane bell-bottomed pants. I would break many laws for pants like that. The director was obviously quite scared of them, as they never get more than slight glimpses on screen, but they're normal trousers up until about mid-calf, when suddenly a floral print fabric just er

Now, I admit, I haven't see The Dark of the Moon, but one of my big complaints about the first film was that the action sequences were terrible. Everything looked like shit, and I could never understand where the camera was in relation to the action. The man couldn't direct an action sequence with 300lbs of explosives

And much like that picture, in the film, that shot will be blurry, confusing, and poorly composed.

And he'd say something funny while doing it, even if it's just, "I've wanted to do this since kindergarten."

Well, I'd agree that it might not have been the actual goal, but it's clearly a result. The probability of a single correct guess with 5 options is relatively high, and that's if you reshuffle with each card dealt and the test is truly random.
