yes, because there’s very hungry dogs in the back seat.

Yep. When my daughter was asked to sell cookies, I asked for the breakdown for the proceeds. After figuring out that about $0.06 cents went to her personal GS account (for camping and other activities with a fee) and about $0.17 cents went to the local troop (for troop activities) out of every $4.00 box, I wrote a…

Just as long as her and Simmons can convincingly play “hating the shit out of each other.”

A test drive of the owner’s wife or the car?

As I was watching The Godfather for the first time, circa 1995, my dad walked in and asked me if they’ve gunned down Sonny yet, thus spoiling what would have been a rather visceral surprise. Despite reading the Mad Magazine parody version, this crucial plot point had never quite made the cultural osmosis diffusion to…

Specifically, a duck-billed platitude. Like they say, “Don’t eat the waterthyme if you can’t handle the bromine.”

Something similar happened to me with someone I was dating years ago, for the ending of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. We did not get married.

I never once thought of it that way.  But I wouldn’t say she was lucky. She was pissed at how long it was, how it was more “geeky” stuff only I could appreciate, and mostly because an animal got killed. I wasn’t fully aware at the time, but the killing of animals in movies, real or CGI, is very much not cool with her.

That story is 800 times more baffling than mine.  My God . . .

Probably for the best.  Kong would have never bent the knee for you anyway, Zod.

Far and away his worst habit as a filmmaker is trying to explain things with dialog (or big setpieces). King Kong has a whole scene where Jack Black has to convince the ship’s captain to set sail ahead of schedule because studio goons (or something) are coming for Black’s equipment, and that’s why Adrian Brody doesn’t…

My first thought was “how did she not know?” But my second thought is that she’s lucky: she got to see the movie, and appreciate it, in a way that most people did not.

Namely, where exactly is the bromide that fuels the production of this toxin coming from, and why does AVM seem to be localized only to the U.S.?

My freshman year of college (2005) Batman Begins came out. There was a group of high-schoolers in the theater in front of me that were discussing what they’d seen in trailers about the film, and were giving out their different theories about who Batman was going to be and whether or not Christian Bale was playing…

I like the casting. I love the gloriously creepy bug scene. I loved how they handled the final chapter.

I know its indulgent as all hell, really this should have been the hint the Hobbit films might not work out well.  But I can't lie, I still really like it.  Whether its nostalgia, the fact Naomi Watts makes it all work, Serkis, or that goddamn fantastic video game adaptation with the worst possible title.  I'll take…

LW3:
He doesn’t initiate play because you keep referring to him as your huzzben

I had the exact same reaction! When I first saw the Shazam previews I got super excited and when I actually saw the movie I was not disappointed and loved every frikkin minute of it. Out of all these newer comic book movies that have come out since Raimi’s Spiderman, Shazam is the only one that feels like an actual…
