Also, Nabin started a Patreon today because apparently AVClub is done with My World Of Flops. And there's a blatant grammar error in this headline.

Remember when The Rock posted all those videos of the crazy strength-training shit he did to get in shape for Hercules in the lead-up to that movie? And does anyone remember Hercules?

I'm also thinking, does anyone who writes or comments on AV Club really spend any substantial amount of time watching these people, or is this all based on YouTube clips and tweets and articles we read after the fact? It's like all those Chainsmokers articles from the last couple weeks. The sports personalities are…

But the franchise didn't fully kick into its current state of insane over-the-top-ness until the fifth entry, which was released in 2011, after all three movies I mentioned.

Theory: Shoot 'Em Up and the Crank movies did everything the F&F franchise has been doing first, better, and shorter.

INSANE FAN THEORY: Good Script Gets Fucked Up During Production/Editing, Results In Bad Movie.

That's The Perfect Guy, and that scene is indeed in the movie. Michael Ealy is a good actor, but the Glenn Close surrogate role is not in his skill set.

Looking at Box Office Mojo for a couple, they're almost always a solid return on investment. The Perfect Guy cost $12 million and made $60 million, The Boy Next Door cost $4 million and made $61 million, Obsessed cost $20 million and made $73 million…..

These Fatal-Attraction-by-way-of-Lifetime-y thrillers have become my boyfriend and I's drunk night movies, since they're easy to watch and trashy and you don't miss anything if you pass out. Most of the time they suck (The Perfect Guy, No Good Deed, Obsessed), but every now and then a solid one sneaks through (The Boy…

He's a flaming sack of shit and deserves all comeuppance, but he did give us "WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!" which…. was not worth his presence in our media landscape, but it makes me laugh every time.

Alfonso Cuaron's new movie comes out in December too. It'll be a good Oscar season.

That Samantha line in the review was a weird criticism - toward the end of the movie, her boyfriend directly calls her out for her hypocrisy with a line about loving Taylor Swift, and several characters give her the "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole" treatment.

Idiocracy remains a mildly funny/satirical Funny or Die sketch idea bloated to feature length, and is kinda sorta classist/eugenicist in that opening sequence.

I think the length issue is more an issue with how a lot of modern comedies are structured. Apatow ushered in the loose, improv style, and that's not objectionable in and of itself, but there's a point where loose crosses over into shapeless. Superbad and 40 YOV are close to 2 hours, and work because even when they…

Chuck and Larry was the last one I saw theatrically. I kinda sorta enjoyed Click, wasn't interested in Zohan, and then I graduated college the year Grown Ups came out and had fully aged out of his demographic.

I was not aware that John Cameron Mitchell had a new movie, and it's an adaptation of a Neil Gaiman short story, and is now my most anticipated movie of the year.

Do an anthology series with this cast instead.

My friends and I decided a couple years back that we'd each pay for one service and share the passwords, under the condition that we were the only ones allowed to use the accounts.

Ah, I forgot that happened this weekend. The most "come on guys, someone please volunteer" calls I heard was a similar situation - flying back from Chicago at Christmas a couple years back, a snowstorm cancelled all the flights from noon onward the previous day, so everyone was in "put me in a fucking seat and let's…

Do you think news outlets have an "airline did shitty thing" template by now, and include a "there will be a brief boycott, maybe someone gets fired, but you have about six options for domestic flights and they all have a story like this in the last 18 months, so you're fucked regardless" teaser in their own personal…
