Blue Jasmine is two brilliant, stunning actresses selling the hell out of a nonsense movie. The plot hinges on Jasmine getting a millionaire to propose to her after about five dates, without visiting her home or meeting anyone she knows, which is like something out of a bad Regency drama. In fact the female…

Yeah, I liked a lot of things about the Ultimate FF setup, although the stories tended to go all over the place.

His all-time best story was when Luke Cage flew to Latveria to get him to pay up after some Doombots cheated Cage out of $200.

The Roger Corman FF, which is still the most entertaining FF movie, had a change to the origin story that I liked: they had Reed and Doom be friends in college, rather than rivals, before Doom's hubris gets the better of him. The "friends turned reluctant foes" angle would be good in a competent movie.

Kyle Baker used a similar idea in the miniseries "Red, White and Black." It's revealed that the military used black men as test subjects while developing the super-serum that was ultimately given to Steve Rogers, and one of them survived to become a black Captain America.

Bill is the only one of the geeks who, deep down, likes himself. When it comes down to it, he'd rather be who he is than be popular. I love the episode where the other two compare their situation to the pledges in "Animal House" being forced to hang out in the corner with the blind guy, and finally Bill says…

Thank you so much for posting these. I haven't seen them since the weird video store down the street went out of business 15 years ago.

This was the first episode I looked up on Netflix. I remember watching it as a very, very nerdy thirteen-year-old and thinking this was for an audience consisting entirely of me.

Saturday Night is great. So many coked-out adventures.

Damn. I've been looking to replace my copy because it's basically a stapled-together pile of paper (with some of the pages glued together from when I tried to fix the spine). It's signed by about half the cast, though.

Actual dialogue from the movie: "There's nothing tragic about being 50. Not unless you're trying to be 25." Your math is correct: Norma Desmond is an impossibly old, withered crone who has probably not quite hit menopause yet.

Fourteen. I was right to insist on watching every one of the Leprechaun movies.

I like Ring 2 (the Japanese version) and my husband was deeply saddened to learn of the lack of love for Scott Baio's star turn in Zapped.

Magic came out the year I was born, so I don't know how I would have seen the trailer in a theater, but I have a strong memory of just that. My only explanation is that the horribleness of the Magic trailer transcends linear time.

This is such a perfectly terrible idea I think I'm in love.

In the book, it's very clear that the "you've always been at the Overlook" stuff is a lie the hotel tells to Jack. The Overlook wants Danny, but it pretends Jack is important and special to manipulate him into killing Danny.

The Shining is a catalog of everything you can possibly be scared of, although the movie left out the wasp scene in the book, so the movie is everything you could possibly be scared of minus wasps.

I used to think Bob from Twin Peaks was the scariest thing, then I saw that clip with Robert Blake.

The bar scene is unbelievable. Imagine Kathryn Bigelow directing something like Garth Ennis's "Preacher." It would be sublime.

It's certainly not an original idea. It goes back at least to Peter S. Beagle's 1970s story "Lila the Werewolf," but my favorite is "Boobs" by Suzy McKee Charnas: http://talesofmytery.blogsp…
