You mean Goon?
I liked it for the show it almost was, not the show it actually was. While it was on, I had this whole theory that it was a show about a terrifyingly insular and codependent group of severely damaged people being led in therapy by a dangerously untrained and incompetent leader. But this misguided,…

I vaguely remember there being some episode of Maury where some woman was there for, like, the 11th or 12th time of paternity tests for the same kid. And she was emphatic, absolutely certain . . . again . . . that THIS was the real daddy. Points for persistence, I guess.

It's really one of those weird "Big Bang Theory" things where there's the whole framework for a joke; there's a set up, the line is delivered like it's a joke, only there's nothing funny there. "What's your name?" "Ben." "Is that your real name?" [Laugh track] "Yes." [Laugh Track]

Yeah, I love reading seven books so that a completely new character can come in at the last minute and solve everything in the stupidest way imaginable.

Ditto. One of the few areas of the country I've never explored. I've never been farther into New England than NY/Mass/Connecticut.

Yeah, but Indy didn't know that, and he was making his own decisions. But in The Stand, God sends Stu and Larry and the gang to Vegas . . . apparently just so they can get captured, tortured, and hang out at ground zero while Vegas gets nuked. Nothing they did had any impact on that outcome, so maybe God just wanted a…

Occasionally I think that chair thing was him just fucking around with people. Like, "huh, they invited me to this dumbshit thing, let's see what I can get away with. I got it! I'll yell at a chair for an hour and see if anybody mentions it."

That's actually a really weird criticism, considering there's a long, long, LONG list of politicians that have made WAY more money off of politics than the Clintons. Hell, pretty sure Colin Powell leaves them both in the dust. Not to mention Dubya and Bush Sr. Cheney made out like a fucking bandit, as did Rumsfeld.…

"dopey white guy who flops with his attempts at integration." That's not an attempt at integration, it's an attempt at appropriation. And a piss poor one. That idiot is acting like a white person who once saw a white person who once saw Vanilla Ice in the nineties acting like a black person. It's annoying and…

Kid: "Dad, when's Mom coming home?"
Dad: "Who?"
Kid: "Not again. Dad, you've known her since you were kids. Her name's Beverly?"
*Dad has that snap-zoom terror-moment when he remembers the horrors of Derry and IT"
Kid: "THERE it is."

Uhh, yeah, kind of a major issue. The whole reason he was part of the Loser's Club was because Henry Bowers and his gang were on the verge of lynching him.

True. Same with Carrie . . . and oddly pretty much every non-horror story he's written (Green Mile, Shawshank etc). Maybe it's just the big, sprawling epic stories that spook him. Pet Sematary and Carrie are pretty small-scale, no Incarnation of Ultimate Evil to be seen, which probably helps with a decent resolution.

Really? That was one of those things I identified with, backing down from a bullying asshole and obsessing over it, getting more and more pissed off until you're in a frothing rage. Don't see how that's particularly douchey in a movie chock full of douchey moments. Plus, his over-intellectual and incredibly wrong…

"HEY kids, shooting up your school is about as edgy and subversive as tucked-in polo shirts and sandals with socks!"

God help me, I might actually watch an episode or two.

Throw in Lance Henriksen, Peter Weller, and Brad Dourif and you've got yourself a movie!

I think he was the dick with the beard.
But yeah, the practical effects were great, and the squirm factor was off the charts (I could barely watch the "razor blade down the tongue). Just . . . yeah, a complete lack of anyone particularly memorable. Give us somebody who we want to live or somebody who we want to die,…

Yes, I've aged from Bart into Homer. Pretty soon I'll be Abraham.

That's funny, considering RIchard Crenna chews every ounce of scenery in every one of his scenes. It's weirdly effective, but he's SO dramatic in his performance. He makes a meal out of every. Single. Line.

I understand, and that makes sense, but also in Batman: TAS she was a largely asexual character. And, yeah, it's a cartoon, but both Poison Ivy and Catwoman had an overt sexuality to them far more than Harley. And as the character has grown (almost necessarily, considering her relationship) the sexuality has grown.…
