Yeah, I think it's a good idea in theory, but they picked a not exactly stellar crop of shows to test said theory.

The other big controversial movie of the last couple months, Stonewall, didn't even crack $200k.
There's a lesson here.

Apparently one of the Misfits was played by Kesha, which, considering that her whole stage persona and music are basically Jem, goes to show you how little thought was put into this movie.

It cracked me up to see him in some HRC ad a year or so ago, because despite his relationship with Dunham, the guy is screamingly gay. And with that name? Dear Christ.

Coming out of the last one, a friend remarked, "If they make a third, the only way High Voltage can be topped is if he's a robot and half of it is anime."

Great, great movie. Billy Ray's credits also include Breach, Captain Phillips, State of Play and Volcano, all worth checking out (shut up, I love Volcano).

Speaking of Louie and fear, the episode where he goes on the date with Parker Posey completely destroyed me, because the scene where they're on the roof and she's standing on the ledge perfectly articulated a fear (people falling off tall things and being dangerous near places where that could happen) and a thought…

I noticed the same thing, although I will also echo that In Her Shoes is really surprisingly good.

This immediately brought back memories of Something Awful's Photoshop Phriday contest involving adult Richard Scarry books. Ah, the semi-early days of Internet Photoshop.

I dunno, the last time Bay tried something different was Pain and Gain, and that was his best movie in years (I mean, it was completely disgusting and reprehensible, per Bay's usual M.O., but it was a real movie). But this will probably suck.

Even she isn't blameless. It's never explained why, when the cop comes to check on the house, knocks on the door, and no one answers, he just walks away, and O'Hara's character is seemingly cool with it. Like, I fucking KNOW my kid is alone in that house, asshole, and if you don't bust down the fucking door and get…

We watched this in about five different classes in film school, and it was one of the few older movies that even the "I'm just here for an elective" bored freshman got into.

In the vein of Beauty and the Geek, I adored Average Joe, which ran for four (?) seasons on NBC. That was the one where the girl shows up for a Bachelorette-style show and all the guys are geeks, because IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE THAT COUNTS, only halfway through the season they introduce a bunch of hot guys to compete with…

This movie is saying, "why doesn't a standard teen sex comedy have more zombies?" which is just as absurd of a statement as the ones you made, so you're not gonna win any converts there.

Well, Zack Snyder's movies are beyond homoerotic/loaded with gay subtext, and Henry Cavill looks like a GuysInSweatpants castoff, and Ben Affleck has kind of a daddy thing going on, so…… let's do it, Hollywood.

We had a pretty decent discussion in the article for this movie's trailer about how these teen sex comedies with elaborate "let's get laid!" schemes would be so much better if the guys fucked (and The D Train, which I thought was pretty great, did just that earlier this summer).

It's especially galling because it was the THIRD TIME the series had a good ending (after the second and, if you chop off the last scene, the fifth), and of those three endings, it was the best.

What's funny about Halloween 3 is that the original plan was to be done with Myers after the second and then it would become an anthology series. After H3 bombed, they went back to Myers…. and then the series becomes semi-anthologized, because 1, 2, and H20 form their own story and 4, 5 and 6 form another, with 3 as…

You re… you remember when he had a threeway with Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright? You remember that?

Ebert pointed out how incredibly effective the "local townspeople talking about the Blair Witch" opening is in his review, because not only does it get a lot of exposition out of the way in a non-terrible way, it presents the background of the Blair Witch as it should be: local lore/gossip/campfire stories passed…
