Sacred cow? I'm not sure what you're getting at. All I asked is why you spend your time watching and then commenting on a series you clearly dislike. Seems a bit odd.

Dip like chips and dip? 'Cause I'll admit to eating pita chips and hummus for dinner on an embarrassingly regular basis.

"Plus the 70s instrumental music seems out of place on this show."

I do the same thing depending on the circumstance. Half my family is wealthy, well-respected business owners. The other half is straight up hick, white trash. I ended up being a mechanic. Which means that at any given moment I'm cursing at the vehicles I have to work on (an art unto itself). Or having to read,…

I'm assuming you're done with this show now, since it's been four days since you wrote this comment. But why did you stick around at all? You haven't had a positive thing to say about this series the entire time? I get the sense that the AV Club has different "cliques" in it. Are you part of the masochist clique?

Luke might be less tired of buying new clothes if he'd quit wearing $140 coats to confrontations where there's a chance of being shot.

Greetings from the future!

I will sit through that movie just to see Stormare as Satan. Hilarious and menacing and just all around fun to watch.

I remember thinking Gabriel Byrne was pretty bad-ass in that movie. But I don't think I've seen it since it came out.

I tried HARD to watch Lockout. But those effects were migraine inducing. I don't think I made it very far. I'd honestly completely forgotten about it til you mentioned it.

Was looking for somebody to say Guy Pearce. I won't watch something that looks terrible just because of a particular actor. But I do grade most of his films on a curve. One of my favorite films is "Ravenous". Between Guy and a scenery devouring Robert Carlyle, that movie is just fun as hell.

1408 is good. At least the theatrical version. Accidentally started the extended cut on Prime recently. Holy crap that sucked.

I love that movie! Just the way Hopkins pronounces the name "Bob" is interesting enough to keep me watching.

I see that but still… I don't know, I was pretty heavily invested in Mid-World/Out-World as being things that had stood for a span of time that is difficult to either pin down or really fathom. I liked how the worlds bled together just not that King made himself a sort of nexus, or at least conduit, for their…

"I particularly like that Stephen King is a character."

Wind Through the Keyhole is very good. It doesn't fall into any of the self-referential traps that the later books in the series do. Or not that I noticed, anyway. I should point out that I'm not the most incisive reader.

Meh… Frustrating an A.I. to death (didn't he still shoot it, though?) is an acceptable concept but doing so simply by making lame jokes was, well, lame. Again, my opinion may change when I get back to that book (recently finished Drawing, need to find a copy of Wasteland), but I remember it seeming awfully……

No, it's a distraction from the really cool story I'd been reading for three, increasingly long, books. Plus, the way they got off the train was stupid. But I haven't gotten to it in my current re-read. So maybe my feelings will change.

Mint chocolate is good. Mint toothpaste filled chocolates are disgusting. Important distinction.

I will watch Robin Hood for every scene involving Alan Rickman and/or Michael Wincott (But why a spoon, cousin?). Other than that… It's occasionally… rousing?
