Literally The Worst posted:No you don't. You a busta, The Serpent & The Rainbow owns. It's not as good as Nightmare, because nothing can top Nightmare's first death scene, but it fixes Nightmare's main problem by not placing the best scene so early. There's such a wild energy to the movies that manages to be fast-paced and out-there, but not out of control. drat good pacing and really clever set design/usage in both movies, I especially loved the scene near the end of Serpent where Allen is falling down the top of the stairs. I think I might just go ahead and watch The People Under The Stairs right now, because I really have to see a movie featuring Ed and Nadine Hurley in bondage gear weilding shotguns.

It's really weird seeing a young George Clooney play Roseanne's boss on Roseanne.

I like the story Roseanne tells about hanging out in a parking lot with Clooney to smash a bug chocolate #1 the network had got her for having the #1 show (for context her male counterparts were rewarded with things like cars when they managed a similar achievement).

I wrote a whole paper in undergrad about Roseanne and the issues of female authorship (liberal arts are fun) and the whole history of how she was treated by the network is pretty hosed up. Also if the presence of George Clooney surprises you, wait until you find out Joss Whedon wrote for the show in the first few seasons dreadnought fucked around with this message at 05:05 on Mar 21, 2015 |

I read that one article she wrote a couple years ago, does she have a book where she talks about it, because it's an interesting (if messed up) story.

He's a decent writer when he has an editor. The Clooney thing is weird because it's a mostly ordinary looking cast, then boom, George Clooney.

Ugh, Earth to Echo is shite. I'd say it's a simulation of what something written by an autistic child would be like, but that might be insulting to autistic children.

Chappie and Earth to Echo are both good, though Chappie is obviously leaps and bounds better. It's pretty much Blomkamp's masterpiece.

I keep missing chances to go see Chappie, and if one more person tells me that it sucks and then admits they haven't seen it when I ask why, I'll probably slap them.

So, I finally finished a rough cut of my short film made up of old educational films (and other public domain films)... and Viacom immediately had it blocked on YouTube. It looks like it's been unblocked, but the footage Viacom was claiming rights to was the footage from The ABC of Sex Education for Trainables. A sex ed film produced by Planned Parenthood intended for educators to teach to the mentally challenged. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YZe81K6PpQ

The People Under the Stairs is really good. Craven fully realizes his movies as the horror/comedy mixture they are, but it does hurt in some points, with some awkward slapstick in place of genuine horror. Still, I gotta love the dude's imagination and how all-out he went with it, and he can set up Chekov's Gun like a motherfucker.Egbert Souse posted:It won't shut up. There is literally no point where characters stop talking for more than five seconds. And it's all pointless garbage dialogue. I'll defend it by saying that's the point, because the whole thing is supposed to be one long Youtube video. I can definitely see how it would grate on people, and I won't defend it that much, but I found the "Youtube personality" aspect of it charming. Literally The Worst posted:No you don't. You still a busta for saying non-Nightmare Craven isn't worth watching.

I forget which actor was asked about why he has appeared in so many Not Perfect movies along with so many Great ones, and responded with "When you're an architect, and someone gives you blueprints for a lovely house, you don't say "that's a lovely house, I won't build it", you build them their lovely house, as best you can. You have a job, you do your job." But I think McDowell has that attitude; he wants to be working, he consistently gets work, it pays, who cares if it's Any Good. Tank Girl is loving boss though and I will fight you IRL. It was the last good comic book movie, before Hollywood mistakenly thought they should start taking Cartoons For Children Where Everyone Seems To Have Magic Powers seriously.

That Max Landis video got me watching a lot of old WWE stuff on youtube and man I had forgotten how much I loved Kurt Angle. Like, he's the primo example of a professional wrestler who could never act in movies but has an amazing stage presence, he just totally owns his character (which 90% of the time is a hilariously classic heel)

But I guess somebody had to step up to the plate and stir some poo poo up there. e: Here's a choice quote from a news article about it: quote:He said he saw a TSA agent with an injury to her arm. "It was not something you expect in an airport, and I've traveled a lot," Tucker said.
