I could honestly skip Teen Witch, but I have to see No Holds Barred, Gymkata and The Apple if my life depends on it. Rabin actually sold the movie more enthusiastically as they did (IIRC he said that The Apple should be mandatory viewing in schools, on which, only from excerpts, I would tentatively agree with him),

These movies either make money or are, for whatever reasons, good occassions to lose money (tax reasons maybe?). It's clearly a sign of the wealth of their financiers, because while these movies may be amateurish, they don't look like they are made by amateurs. They might not look like much, but they'll still have a

There was that double episode of TNG where either Picard was held on trial by Q or vice versa or both. That shit was rad.

When the movie ends with Kevin Szorbos zombified corpse saving the Devil from the courthouse after he's charged to six cumulative sentences of eternity in hell, indicating a second sequel, then I'm totally onboard.

No, but he totally rips off his own dingdong.

"Well, imagine 'Die Hard', but in the White House, and this time - wait for it - in London!"

John Leguizamos tell-all book at least gave the world these nuggets of goodness.

Well, I sure as hell didn't found her sexy, but I didn't found her repulsive. She was dancing in a way normal people would call "dance like nobodys watching", but Thicke actually came off as way more sleazy to me in that performance. The idea that someone could somehow play a straight man to whatever Cyrus was doing

It's tempting to think of these movies as a brilliant scheme to leverage free so-bad-it's-good PR from bad-movie podcasts to still turn a profit. I bet "virality" gets thrown around a lot in meetings about movies like this.
"Just imagine what June's theory will be why this guy is so tall!"
It makes me shudder, but at

"Apology Is Policy".

I consciously stayed the hell away from the Heroes relaunch, but I guess I can't shake old, bad habits so easily. Is it so abysmal that it becomes sort of enjoyable, but in that beyond-hatewatching way where you just alternately shake your head in silence or scream at the TV? Because I'm all for that.

The more I look at that screenshot I want to watch the version of Califonication where Hank Moody is a sceptical stoner who falls on his face a lot.

Allright, allright, I'll slightly lower my pitchfork. But still… it's the most blunt, unsubtle way to tell this particular part of the story. Of course time was an overall limiting factor, but they splurged away so much of that with this whole nonsensical My-Struggle-arc. And if they were only about to tease much

Yeah, that stuff about "scarred for life" was a very poor choice of words. I just wanted to say that no living being on this earth would shrug something like this off so nonchalantly as they did. They had a Werther's Finest moment with their child and just seamlessly carried on with all that nonsense about the

It's important to remember that this show never had a writer's room, as it is common/standard these days. Carter never was a very good writer, but he had the right idea at the right time (actually, a few of them) which took off in spite, and not because, of him. The X -Files turned out to be the proving ground of a

Oh, okay. So it really is that dumb. Those fantasy sequences were way too elaborately detailed and specific. On the other hand: How would you write such a sequence? What would you imagine them imagining? Which brings me to the really important question of why on earth you would do that in the first place. Of course

"You know what would be rad? A redo of the season 2 finale of 'Millennium'!"
There. I've found it. The magic touch of James Wong!

That cannot be true. Not that you might not be right, but that would only just add to the hilarious badness of this mini-season. It was baffling when they devoted lengthy segments of this episode wholly to "flashbacks" of good-times fun with William and then showed the characters who were just reminiscing about him

I was pretty exclusively in it for the Darin Morgan episode, who I think is a great writer. Even when his episode was lacking, compared to his own work on the show he did before, I'm thankful this reunion thing happened for that episode alone.
I watched episode one and two for context, which turned out to be a moot

Actually one of my favourite scenes in anything ever, right up there with the Death Star Trench Run or the opening of Casino or the cold open of the second season of LOST. Genius.
