Flashman
Actually, I'm shocked (and elated) this post got this many comments without me having to use the words "hipster" or "The Simpsons" at any point.

Sheesh
Just explained my theory better than I did.

Appetite
I thought of Appetite For Destruction when I set the 55-80 requirement. (I also thought of Aha Shake Heartbreak.) But I define rockin' music as rock 'n' roll mainly influenced by its 50s and 60s roots, and rocking music as rock 'n' roll mainly influenced by metal and punk. I love rockin' and rocking, but CCR…

In other words…
This movie deserves condemnation not because it criticizes Mormons, but because it does so very, very stupidly.

Keon
I don't really care about historical accuracy. From a dramatic point of view, the "villians" in this movie are simplistic, over-the-top, and silly. I have no opinion on real-life Mormons. I just think this movie really, truly sucked. I'll let you guys sort out the evilness of real Mormons because, obviously,…

To clarify
The problem with this movie isn't that it's "unbalanced," but that it's so black and white. The Mormons are so extremely evil, and the settlers so extremely virtuous, that simply from a dramatic point of view it's pretty ridiculous. It's not interesting (to me anyway) to turn Brigham Young into some…

Shaitan, the REAL Devil
I totally didn't see that comment because I didn't write the review. As for my take on The Simpsons Movie—don't have one because I haven't seen it yet.

For the record
I don't just like some Timberlake tracks, I fucking LOVE both of his albums. And if you don't agree, you have horrible taste.

More Ebert
I remember seeing this movie specifically because critics at the time were already calling it one of the worst films ever made, and I wasn't disappointed.

No firsties this time
Sorry—just taking care of another comments-related pet peeve.

I guess?
Yeah, where do we get off praising one of the best films ever made?

Surface
Hey Scott, I'm looking forward to loving Friday Night Lights, because I'm a sucker for a good sports show. (Or a bad one, like ESPN's Playmakers) As for Hard Knocks, I think you're low-balling a bit. It's true the show doesn't delve into the dark side of the game—where are the groupies? The roids? The…

Love, love, love this movie
That is all.

Crackity
If any of the people you mentioned on your list heard you dis Elvis, they would sit you down over a plate of grits and explain in detail why you are dead wrong. Are you sure you aren't penalizing Elvis simply because he's more famous than those other, totally brilliant rockers? Don't blame Elvis for the…

Cronenberg
To clarify, I'm not compared Isaac to Cronenberg—he's literally a protege, having worked for the director in the past as an effects guy. His style is not similar.

OY
Do I think other critics missed the boat? To some degree, yeah. At least I think they missed the spirit of the movie, which is pretty over-the-top and silly, and (I thought) enjoyably so. I don't think this is a great movie, as my grade reflects, but I think it's marginally successful at delivering what a person…

"Defense"
Guys, I already wrote about 350 words on Skinwalkers, which is about all I have to say on the subject. I think if you read my review and read the other reviews—not just compare the grades—you'll see where we differ. I can't see a movie, kinda like it, and then change my mind because nobody else agrees with…

Laugh out loud funny
Your essay, not the film. This might be my favorite entry yet. I never realized the comedic potential of the phrase "engorged cock" before.

Right on
Sterling Hayden is totally freaking awesome, and not only because his name kinda looks like mine. As for my favorite performance, I'd say DR. STRANGELOVE or THE LONG GOODBYE, which also happen to be two of my favorite movies ever.

Entourage
Hey dudes, there's no AV Club conspiracy to rip Entourage, though if there were I'd volunteer to grab a rifle and hide behind the grassy knoll. For the record, I'm pretty sure Josh Modell, Scott Tobias, and Jason Heller are on the record as fans.
