Can we just acknowledge how foxy Pearl is in her spacesuit?

"Twilight" introduced me to "The Loved Ones", which is one of the most delightfully twisted horror films I've ever seen.

I love in the more recent volumes Tank Girl and Booga get married because "Sure, why not?" Think from the proposal til marriage takes six pages at most. That shows what disdain the comic has for traditional plotting.

I've got the perfect one: Gus Van Sant's remake of "Psycho" led me to the original.

I've listened to the show enough where I agree with your insight, but at the same time June usually plays Devil's Advocate (she truly considers what the filmmakers were TRYING to do), even with stuff she doesn't like. She does have her limits though. I'm endlessly curious what her reaction to a movie like this would

This movie is so crazy it'd be the one where JUNE loses her shit and Jason is the calm analytical one. Just everything goes topsy turvy.

The elevator scene from "The Shining" was eeriely accurate.

You could literally time your day around the song. "Oh, is that Celine Dion? The muffins are done!"

Oh man, the one that made our assholes clench was "Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears. We just had to hear the opening piano riff and we'd be scrambling for the radio.

Easy target perhaps, but I legit understand people who get trapped around a terrible song. I probably wouldn't hate Jessica Simpson as much as I do if I wasn't trapped around her terrible music when I still worked retail. Had to go home every night and crank System of a Down to get it out of my head.

That's why I loved it. It poked holes in every bit of nostalgia you COULD have about the 50's and wasn't afraid to get real while living up to its fantastical premise.

It also blows my mind that people think John Travolta is a good singer, because his voice is ATROCIOUS in that movie. Squeaks more than a leaky tire.

The movie makes me think of something Kim Thayil said in an interview after Kurt Cobain died (and I'm paraphrasing): "The boomers thought they had the monopoly on rock and roll and they're discovering they're getting left behind. They're trying to foist their memories on their children instead of letting them having

Which is another problem I have: Jenny tries to carve her own path and Forrest just does whatever he's told and never thinks for himself. For Jenny it leads to alcoholism and despair, and Forrest he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams. How can you root for someone who never thinks, makes choices, or takes any

Oh God in heaven help me I had to read that for a college literature class and I hated every second of it. NOTHING happens so it can focus on the limp, wan romance. It's "Twilight" during WW2.

I love that the instant the camera cuts out after Mickey and Mallory kill Robert Downey, it cuts to a clip of OJ. You can just see Oliver Stone going "GET IT?!"

I couldn't complete Twilight Princess. Too long, too stretched out. So much of it felt simultaneously over-cooked AND like an after-thought.

I actually like King's dramas more than his horror. His horror over-explains everything, and true terror comes from the unknown. The history of the Overlook or the origins of IT just pop a hole in that balloon.

Not to mention it's the biggest baby boomer circle jerk ever. "Look at how awesome we were! Suck it Gen X!"

The singles off "The Wall" are amazing. As a whole, its bloated and self-indulgent.
