He and Johan Hill know how to apologize.

Jackie Chan is awesome except for when his movies get embarrassingly too un-PC, as with the large, African-American ass kickers in Armour of God or the trio of attractive but too dumb to breathe women in Operation Condor. And Tony Jaa's The Protector is one of the stupidest but most awesome movies ever, especially…

I agree that we adults have much better taste than those damn kids today, but I'd also like to mention two problems related to this assumption: 1. I felt great when my daughter watched several MST3K episodes with me—but then I saw her quoting it with her peers who had no idea what the hell she was referencing. (And…

PAUL RYAN likes (or used to but might not after Tom Morello called him a "jackass") RATM.

While I guess it's not fair to judge a work by its fans, it is understandable. For example, the first time I saw The Boondock Saints, I thought, "Well, that was harmless and entertaining." But would I want to call myself a fan and have people wonder if I revered Troy Duffy? No thanks. And in high school, it seemed…

"Madden’s camera zips through the English streets with great momentum"

At least twice, the phrase "going to" is used as part of the verb it immediately precedes and not separately, so that, for example, "are going to regret" is one verb phrase. And the poster color codes "are (going to)" as a "modal verb" and "regret" as the "predicate verb." However, this ignores the fact that "to…

It's a good thing the fight didn't escalate.

The Lords of Salem - I'm not a huge Rob Zombie fan—I admire The Devil's Rejects more than I can say I like it, and my favorite thing of his is probably the SS Women trailer—but I kinda like the slow burn of The Lords of Salem. Plus, it's got the mom from ET and Magenta from Rocky Horror. And Sherri Moon's…

I don't understand why some assume that weird fiction is necessarily "more mysterious and irresolvable" than more realistic fiction. Reality is mysterious and too often irresolvable. Like the man said, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Dianne Wiest is amazing in this movie. Her monologue through Caden's earpiece is moving yet chilling. "What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now
behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not
special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping
silently out…

Fleming. Fleming. Fleming of the BDA.

I agree that "dated" is not a value judgment, but the reviewers do seem to equate being 30+ years old with being of inferior quality. One of the reviewers says, "Sitcoms from the ’70s are hard for me" but elaborates only that 70s sitcoms are "*so* dated." She also says, "I like my art to feel real and relevant,"…

At least three of the above reviewers need to focus more on the show and less on their inability to accept that something "old" has more value than they're willing or able to realize. They remind me of my students who complain the stories in their American literature books are old and therefore suck. How dare the…

Wasn't it based on Leno, but they used Letterman's name with the idea that everyone knew who was being alluded to?

Yes, I believe it was, "Hey!  Get laid! Get fucked!"
But I might have misheard it. 
Furthermore, I believe there's a video for this song (one of those "in concert" videos") and you can see Idol chanting along with the crowd.

Is "The Bicycle Man" the Very Special (and very scarring) Episode where Gordon Jump is the child molester who gives Arnold and Dudley wine, shows them pornographic cartoons, and gets them to play Tarzan, where one takes off his shirt and jumps into the bathtub?   That is CLASSIC effed up, bad TV.  If I remember,…

I always suspected that the little girl at the end of the movie somehow knew that her father was . . . different.

Hot stuff coming through!

Top Ten is great, but I thought it was more like Hill Street Blues than Homicide:  Life on the Street.  Not that that's a criticism.
