My wife and I were lamenting last weekend how much we miss the video store. We wish on a Friday night we run out, pickup a pizza and have the kids pick a few movies at a video store to rent. I know on demand can do that but just the idea of looking at wall of tapes(or dvds) in a store felt so much better. It was an…

Glad to see MacLachlan giving The Hidden a shout-out. A completely underrated gem of a movie — right up there with Tremors in the now-extinct genre of “movies you’d find on the back shelf of your video store, rent on a whim and then spend the next two years forcing all of your friends to watch.”

I’m mostly just annoyed that it still needs to be defined as “queer-presenting” rather than just “a possible way for a person to dress.” Like I said, the dude can rock a dress, and I think it’s entirely fine and good for him to do that while also being a person who identifies as male and has sex with women, and for…

That sounds like a bitchin’ church.

Centralized power generation is easier to convert to more environmentally friendly forms than addressing the problem at the level of every individual car, unless you’re suggesting busses should be powered by portable hydroelectric plants.

idk I think she is speaking broadly about pay gap, her career just happens to be in Hollywood. Ultimately, liberal or republican, it’s capitalism that wants to keep the patriarchy intact. But I don’t doubt a lot of movie executives and producers are republican.

That’s not my reading of the Ainulindalë. The void is created, and there is no corruption of it before the Great Music... but the great music is when the WORLD is created. The very creation of Arda, and everything in it, is corrupted by Melkor’s singing. There are most definitely things in Arda that are evil by their…

I mean, you are talking about a guy whose formative years were World War I AND II. He saw a lot of obvious evil threat growing on the horizon, no one doing anything about it until it was almost too late, and then huge alliances having to pull together to repel the threat, only to have to rinse and repeat in a few…

It might also refer to a mortal line of kings appointed by Morgoth, I suppose. There might be a dark parallel storyline to Aragorn’s where these people get their rightful king, and he ends up becoming a Nazgûl. 

I consider myself a Tolkien fanboy and overall I am very impressed. A lot of the people with hate-boners for this show don’t really care about Tolkien they just want to be apart of a culture war.

Tom Bombadil "Forrest Gump's" his way through ten thousand years of Middle-Earth history.

I hope the surprise is that the “man” rescuing her is Ash from Alien.  Or Ash from Evil Dead.  Any Ash would do, really.  

To be fair to this, it would be HARD to do what the Fall did better than the Fall did it.

It’s a fucking Biblical sin that Tarsem doesn’t get more work. He’s back to doing commercials and music vids. 

Ugh. Criminally, insanely underrated. I love that damn film.

Are you of the opinion that entertainment has no value to society, and if so, why are you on a pop culture site?

I particularly loved the same joke being told down the centuries, and the constancy of a pub-bore banging on about the unemployed.

A guy being 30 never stopped a teenage girl from having a crush on him before, it’s no different now.

I’m not surprised when you look at how long the shows run. I mean I was in high school when I started watching brand new show Supernatural, but then it ran for 15 seasons. Add to that the cord cutting of younger generations and it tracks.

On paper Christie as Lucifer makes a lot of sense, but boy those curls don’t work too well on video.
