I know what you mean, but that really only bothers me when the character doing something obviously stupid is the only way the plot can continue.

I really like this point. Another example I always think of is the original The Thing: reasonable, smart people trying to do the rational thing in a crazy situation, and still end up fucked nonetheless.

Agreed, whoever did the music & sound design for that movie deserves all the praise I can heap on them.

Freejack is a treasure. A TREASURE!!!

Just swap those top two - now you're on the trolley!

I came for the giddy blast of nostalgia, I stayed for Rabin's insights on "Blue Streak".

I would also add that if you're mostly looking for them to dissect movies, The Flop House is arguably the weakest of the three (and I say that as a huge fan). It's more about the hosts and the movie as a launch pad for riffing.

Just watched Miami Connection. This needs to happen.

I was once curious like you. How foolish I was…

I will never not upvote that joke.

Boo-urns, I say!

2004 AVC is like gazing upon another world. Where's all the snark?! And the interview was via fax. FAX!

Finally, SOMEONE said it! Now, about this "Serial" podcast everyone seems to be talking about…

Am I the only one not on the We Hate Movies train? I don't mean to sound harsh - I don't hate it or anything, it's fine, and if people want more coverage, awesome.

The Canon's growing on me too, but disagree about Amy. She's my favorite part (although I do love me some Faraci as well).

Just look at the Amazon reviews! Or better yet, don't.

Definitely, quite a few of these could just as well be representing common phobias… spiders, snakes, doctors (or at least hospitals/surgery), clowns, Kevin.

I mean, that's obviously true - and I've also heard some do prefer "indians" - but it's also the case that some would rather not be lumped under monolithic catch-all terms like "native american" or "indian" either.

Mmm I've heard that they prefer to be called the name of their tribe rather than either of those, but I could be wrong.

The universe is random and absurd!
