There’s a book called How Not To Write A Screenplay, which has a bunch of excepts from different screenplays to highlight how to write a more effective screenplay. One of the excerpts is from the opening of Predator, where the writer is effectively able to describe the guys in the chopper and their personalities. It’s…

“I think that the majority of the people just decided to watch the Oscars with their friends. I mean, if there’s one thing I know, it’s the majority.”

I shudder just thinking that that clip is now considered ‘vintage’.

Hot take:

I remember when Guy Gardner temporarily went Vuldarian (and boy, didn’t they retcon the hell out of that as quickly as possible?) that he also opened a bar with statues for Green Lanterns. Having read this article, I get the feeling that between that and this, there’s a missed opportunity here: an ongoing series of…

You really are a dumbass, aren’t you?

Put it this way: if Gunn had made the same tweet years ago instead of pedophilia jokes, he would have kept his job. But because it’s a GOP guy running for office, it’s OK for you and others to keep bashing this guy?

Apparently, because you don’t seem to at least acknowledge my point. And again, to repeat what I originally said, the tweet was weird, but not something that would show that this guy is unfit for running for office.

What difference does it make if someone is running for office or not? Both of these are hit jobs aimed at taking down someone because someone else disagrees with their point of view. I’m all for Gunn getting his job back, and I take him at his word at his apology. But stories like this one gloss over the fact that if…

I hate to be that guy, but seriously - if you’re going to give James Gunn a pass for making stupid and insensitive tweets ages ago, maybe don’t write such a long article about some GOP Candidate who had some post of his dredged up from the past (which, I should remind you, while weird and perhaps creepy, isn’t as bad…

If there’s one thing that hasn’t changed since the days of Gawker, it’s the guys blogging on these sites railing about the evils of others, while shamelessly shilling for those others to make some extra money. 

Absolutely this. Had there been pay walls over a decade ago, I would have grumbled, but probably shelled out money then to keep reading what I had been reading for decades (especially seeing as how I haven’t lived in the city for over 15 years). But now they want me to pay $2 a week, when I can get New York stories…

I have been reading the Daily News regularly since I was a kid, about 40+ years of reading the same paper. I sometimes used to read Newsday or The Post, but like a sports fan who sometimes takes pride in another local team, I tend to hang my hat in one place. When I moved to Holland 16 years ago after I married my…

“Fuck you.”

I doubt that any of the women in this settlement will be getting enough money to have the “freedom and the ability to not have to work while still providing a roof over your head”. A lot of this money is going to the lawyers who represented the women. Then the money will be divided depending on the severity of each…

THANK YOU! I was starting to wonder if I was the only guy who would make that joke.

Plenty!

This film is not for gearheads, per se. It’s for comedy fans, and for 8-10 year old boys getting their first wet dreams about two hot women in spandex pulling up in a Lamborghini next to you. As a film fan, I agree it’s not a great film. But it’s also a film I hugely love, partly because Roger Moore was so good at…
