Nothing will ever freak me out as much as the original film's upside-down furniture. That was fucking unsettling to me as a kid.

I should probably rewatch the first season again soon (definitely before watching the miniseries). Maybe I'll see him in a different light.
Ugh, James. Okay, double dislike for James. I get that Ben's character is very important to the show, but I found his monomania a little one-note and tiresome. He was like Simon Bar Sinister or Mr. Burns—entertaining but kind of one-note. And the Civil War obsession was way over the top, although that happened later…
I'm very excited about this. Twin Peaks was a show I absolutely loved, although I didn't entirely understand it— I was 10 when it was on TV, and I watched it with my dad, then rewatched the whole series when it came out on video a few years later. Some of the characters annoyed the shit out of me and still do (Ben…
I'm going to miss how he took a joke so far that it got funny again. Lots of comedians do this, but he was the master IMO. My favorite was the Martha Stewart biopic clips—just kept playing them until they were comedy gold. I'll also miss Stupid Human Tricks.
When Sol offered to make a panini I lost it—the dynamic between Sam Waterston and June Diane Raphael is amazing.
My god I love Lily Tomlin. Also, it's so good to see June Diane Raphael, she's really funny
I used to love watching Soap when I was a kid, and the narration made it even more funny. Glad they mentioned Tales from The Darkside, as I always used to get put off by the intro narration—not the theme song, though, that was creepy.
Right—that was the point I was trying to make. Cultural pressure based on gender roles. Men are told that they can't hit women but then are shamed if they are "beat up by a girl." I saw pointing out that the fact that they cast a professional boxer highlighted that point.
Funny, when the album came out, I had mixed feelings and I wasn't even a feminist yet. There are great songs on the album, but it seemed like the most popular ones were the most irritating and petty ones (One Hand in My Pocket, Ironic, You Oughta Know). I will say that "All I Really Want," "Perfect," and "Not the…
I can't help but enjoy Pootie Tang, and I never understood why so many people shit on it. Yeah, it's dumb, but it still makes me laugh every time.
I thought it was a nice choice to case Heather Hardy as the nutty, violent woman on the street. Not just a woman, but a professional boxer—and he still didn't feel like he could defend himself.
It's good to see her being more active as of late. I saw her on The Nightly Show a few days ago promoting Clinton: The Musical. I think she's hilarious.
I say Angela Bassett would be awesome. She's tough as nails. I wish Michael Moriarty was ten years younger, because he'd also be great. I thought his turn as a serial killer on Masters of Horror was absolutely scary as hell, and his size makes for an ideal intimidating action presence.
Thanks, Joss, for making me see this in a way I didn't recognize before. I'll still see it, of course, and trailers really aren't that trustworthy.
I know people will just say I didn't "get it," but I really can't fathom why Under the Skin is so high. Loved A Separation, though, glad to see it getting appreciation.
Surprised Edge of Tomorrow isn't higher up. In terms of action films I have to say that Edge of Tomorrow, Kingsman, Thor, Kick-Ass, and Days of Future Past are some of my favorite action films of the decade so far, with Edge of Tomorrow being particularly clever.
Agreed. It's a bit cheesy and predictable, but it's a fun comedy and Barkin is great in it.
See, in terms of the books I read as a kid I always wanted a Psammead like in the book Five Children and It. Not exactly a "pet" but they can grant wishes! I would totally love a Psammead.
And let's not forget Howard The Duck—truly elevated film to a new level.
