The problem with BTTF II's depiction of a future time's nostalgia for the present (and maybe with any movie that tries to do the same) is that it's hamstrung by also having to emphasize that it really is THE FUTURE. That resulted in ridiculous things like virtual waiters programmed to talk like Max Headroom. Back in…

I'm a The Maxwell's Demon man myself. But seriously, did they not proofread the title, or is there a specific reason that the title isn't just Laplace's Demon or The Laplace Demon? It's bugging the heck out of me.

Yeah, I don't know what it is about that technique, but it gets under my skin every time. There's a particularly nice use of it in The Mothman Prophecies that haunts my dreams to this day: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0…

Ahhh, OK. I need to pay better attention.

To be honest, I can't remember what the basis for his arrest was in the first place. Didn't the cops just find him on the side of the road in his wrecked car?

I was just going to say that it's interesting that nobody else seems to have mentioned this scene, which was by far the creepiest part of the episode for me. It's like that scene in the premiere when there is some kind of ghost in the cell next to Matthew Lillard. Are we ever going to get an explanation for these…

I guess I always just assumed that they put that line in there because otherwise we might wonder how the band could provide accompaniment for a song they've never heard before.

You do what you gotta do, but all I know is that I replaced almost all my "real" gear with an Axe-FX a while back and I've never looked back. If you haven't tested one, I strongly recommend it. For me, it's better than the real thing in every way, no joke.

Nice. I wonder if in Back to the Future when Marty says to the band "this is a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try to keep up" that it was supposed to be a sly reference to Chuck's on-stage habits.

That's my experience too. The wonderfulness of it doesn't really hit you at first, it has to slowly reveal itself to you. For me, it was about halfway through when I first watched it alone. For others, it's only after seeing it twice, or only after watching it with other people. It's almost like a Zen meditation.

This comments section is in dire need of a Final Sacrifice reference.

"Flunked an English class for using similar language?" Give me a break. Any teacher these days would be overjoyed if students even bother to alter the text they copy and paste from some online source. When I was a TA for some Bio 101 classes a while back, plagiarism was so pervasive that we had to adopt a policy of…

It's starting to get downright excruciating, and it's hard to believe at this point that there's any motivation for prolonging this Dougie stuff other than extending the run time as much as possible. Damn, that two-part premiere was so stunning though. I really, really hope the show gets back on track. Soon.

This movie is really starting to fascinate me. On top of all the other shadiness (such as likely serving as a cover for money laundering activities), ALS has thousands upon thousands of 10 star reviews at imdb, which surely must make it the most ambitious imdb shill campaign of all time. What the hell is going on…

The weirdest one didn't get a mention: "the hum" https://en.wikipedia.org/wi…. But as far as creepy mysterious phenomena go, unexplained noises are surprisingly disappointing. I would have thought somebody would have claimed to have recordings of a ghost or something. Wasn't there like a whole Michael Keaton movie…

I guess Gal Gadot is OK, but Catherine Zeta-Jones was born to play Wonder Woman.

Downvoted for not including the movie's sole f-bomb. (I wonder if in 2017 that weird MPAA rule is still in effect whereby PG-13 movies get to include one, but no more than one f-bomb.)

"I was doing research" is the gentleman's excuse. Hey, it's a little bit more classy than "I was trying to convince my wife and children that porn exists."

Yes, that's my impression too. I wish I could remember what it was, but I saw some kind of documentary or special feature a while back that had several extended behind the scenes clips of Lynch working closely with cast members (especially Naomi Watts) during the making of Mulholland Drive. You only hear a little…

She is breathtaking in that. I do believe The Rocketeer was the very first time in my life that I felt kind of, ummmm, funny when seeing a girl.
