I saw him in Kansas City in December 2014 - he had rescheduled because his original date in October coincided with the World Series, which the Royals lost. He got a solid five minutes of laughs and boos out of both things. Loved it.

Has there been an inventory of one-hit wonders whose one hit doesn't sound like anything else they've done? That seems a ripe topic.

I saw the trailer for PPZ before three different movies, and each time it played in silence, and the title reveal was met with mocking laughter. To steal an Ebert quote, it's the kind of movie where criticism is almost irrelevant, because you see the trailer and you think "can't miss it" or "not in a million years."

This looks really good, and Cheadle's been hyping it up for years on Twitter, so I hope it is.

While I fully agree that the political discourse in the comments here is at a higher level than most places, and that this article doesn't exactly say much we didn't already know, a LOT of the comment sections in the last eight months have had threads of people making the same jokes about Donald Trump that everyone…

Fun fact! If you're not interested in the game, Super Bowl Sunday is one of the lowest attendance days of the year at the movies. Last year, my friend and I watched Blackhat in an empty theater, which was great because the movie sucked and we had a nice conversation with the usher mid-movie about Michael Mann and how…

And this time, we also had an actual nominee (Mark Ruffalo) who was seriously considering boycotting.

Yup. It's the rare year that has a 10/10, as-close-to-perfect-as-movies-get film in it, and 2007 had four by my count (TWBB, No Country, Zodiac, Assassination of Jesse James), in addition to two or three dozen other movies that were good-to-great.

It was my pick for the best movie of the decade. It's a flawless film on all the technical/acting levels, tells a fantastic story, effortlessly builds a world without pounding it over your head, and is still just as relevant and timely as the day it came out.

"#FiftyShadesOfBlack Audience: One woman FaceTiming her sister. One man recording the movie on his phone. Two walkouts. Rest sat in silence."

The worst part about the non-radio edit of that song is that the line before is "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but…"

Here's the plot description from Wiki, which simultaneously sounds awesome/probably wasn't, and couldn't be more of a ripoff of TMNT if it tried.

Playing "how fast can I hate the people who are buying the house in this episode?" is a reason I keep coming back. The record is 15 seconds.

Clickhole's "How Many Of These Smiths Songs Have You Heard?" still makes me laugh whenever I think about it.

"Regarded as one of the most historically accurate Titanic disaster films, with the exception of not featuring the ship breaking in half. (There was still doubt about the fact she split in two when the book and film were produced.)"

The disconnect between specificity and cliché seems to plague a lot of the generic Sundance-indie-type movies.

Between this and THE TO-DO LIST, she certainly is game for raunchy gross-out comedy, even if the quality of the movie doesn't match her talent.
