Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t all cable stations allowed to do this it’s just they choose not to? Like if Nickelodeon wants to say some shit they can but the choose not to for the advertising dollars. I could be wrong but I thought that the only language rules cable stations had were ones they imposed on…

I don’t know if he was all coked out at the time, but I really loved his performance in the first CREEPSHOW; there’s a part of me that wishes he would act more. He could’ve been the poor man’s Billy Bob Thornton.

I always thought it would make a good animated show like HBO tried with Spawn a while back.

I was still in elementary school when the show came came out and therefore more in “think of the children!” territory than “those damn kids”. And we didn’t have cable anyway. But I remember a year or two later later, my mother and her friends (all high school teachers) watched some and reported that it was basically…

(dropping in having never seen the show)

Are the uber-fans really as awful as I’ve heard?

Tbh, kinda felt like a big misfire to me. Tossing the entire main cast into the apathy boat, then leaning into the “misery through intelligence” bullshit they’ve been lampshading in a way that certain fans will inevitably take at face value... like a “worst of” episode compilation.

To me clowns aren’t funny. In fact I find them scary. I’ve always wondered where this came from and I think it might be because of the time I went to the circus and a clown shot my Dad.

It Follows

It’s doubly stupid here considering the message of the sequel is “It doesn’t matter what you think about drugs and drug addicts, neglecting them or treating them as second-class citizens out of a sense of moral righteousness is no better then killing them yourself.”

As abhorrent and tone deaf as that ending was it was also a class warfare revenge fantasy where the lower class literally fucks the uppermost class in the ass.

The “right-wing” stuff feels a bit hollow because the first movie ends with a bunch of rich bureaucrats’ heads exploding (followed quickly by sodomy).

Fuck yeah Mark Millar.

Ensmartens is a perfectly cromulent word.

I know, since it’s post-Kinja A.V. Club, we should be glad the writer didn’t invent the phrase “ensmartens itself.”

[Note: Jezebel, like The A.V. Club, is soon to be jettisoned as a legal liability by Univision Communications.]

I don’t think that critic’s interpretation is necessarily *wrong*, because any movie with a “poet” as a main character is definitely going to reflect the writer/director’s feelings as a creative person. But I think anyone who writes about this movie without mentioning the religious allegory is missing a huge chunk of…

He just drilled through his brain til he found all the parts of the story he needed.

YES to this! I went in cold to see mother! last night and I’m glad I did. The movie is frustrating and grueling but very thought provoking. If I had read this review then I would have known WAY more than I wanted to. The title is a straight-up spoiler.

The title of the review is rather spoilerish in and of itself, such that even if you only saw the headline you just got exposed to a pretty major plot point.

s0 its not about JLaw being impregnated by a devil/lovecraftian monster? I was sure that’s what the movie was gonna be about.
