I’ll have to check this out. I recently rewatched Near Dark. It’s still excellent. I think one of things she gets right in Near Dark is avoiding any “mythology.”

I love all the obnoxiously shoehorned-in product placement in the movie, and Parker Posey, and the soundtrack, and - my god - Du Jour. The whole movie from start to finish is so joyful.

I saw Josie in the theater opening week three times - still a record for me!

I saw Josie and the Pussycats when I was in graduate school, and Netflix was piloting its streaming service with a bunch of random movies that ran on basic cable. Holy shit, that’s a delightful movie. It recognizes how silly pop-culture looked at the turn of the millennium, so it goes full-tilt with that whole dated…

Coppola is punking Zack Snider and is Justice League director’s cut. Pick the worst film in your oeuvre, announce a ‘director’s cut’ promising this time it won’t suck quite so much. Watch the money roll in.

What’s strange about this is that - understanding that their budgets are too big for insurance completion bonds - Disney/Marvel requires their actors to follow strict diets and training regimens without any doctors consulted about what underlying conditions an actor might have? So if someone had an underlying heart…

Naturally all these Batmen will be friends as all of their mothers are named Martha.

Are you blaming Rose McGowan for the sexual assault of various women rather than the man who assaulted them? Because that, my dude, is a seriously fucked up take.

No. In CA if you’re an emancipated minor you can marry an adult, but any sexual relations outside of marriage with an adult are still considered statutory rape. It appears that many laws that would apply to minors still do. You have to go to school or get a GED, labor laws still apply, etc. The major things that…

How much older is Tom Cruise than all of his female leads?

Hollywood in general has become far more conservative when it comes to nudity. Conservative groups railing about adult content has swung the pendulum quite a bit, but liberals bemoaning tacked on shower scenes (once a hallowed institution in slasher flicks) or random nudity for no reason, has contributed as well. Even…

I am as fully confident as someone that doesn’t personally know Neil can be that he gives two fucks about the money or whether he will “win” in Court. He hates Trump and has hated his ilk since forever, and publicly since Buffalo Springfield. He has the money, and is too old to give a fuck. So if it messes with Trump,…

Neil should just tell him that the only two songs he can use are “Southern Man” and “Alabama”.

Seriously, this is what the galaxy brains at Warner are thinking is going to be the cornerstone of their streaming media empire at HBO Max? I think several someones have greatly overestimated the number of still-loyal Snyder fans and train-wreck aficionados willing to fork over money to gawk at this in 2020, even with…

I just had an argument last night on my weekly Zoom trivia contest with my friends.  The question was “Who was the villain in Silence of the Lambs?”  I answered Buffalo Bill, but the host said the answer was Hannibal Lector.  I countered that it was Buffalo Bill that was killing all the women, and that Anthony Hopkins…

The idea for the first movie came long way before the second.

What’s great about ALL these movies are the effects. T2 looks far better than much of what we see today, 30 years later, plus CG still can’t begin to compete with practical. There’s a making of that shows Schwarzenegger and Furlong being lowered on the motorcycle into the drainage culvert, where all they did was speed…

I have never, and I expect I will never, be as blown away by a movie’s special effects as I was by this. It was the equivalent of the Wright Brothers following up their Wright Flyer with a Jet.  Not as good a film as the Terminator, but ten times the spectacle.

Yes, Taylor Swift is the only pop star to ever write about breakups.
