The only Rocky movie with consistent geography is Creed, which isn't even a Rocky movie. (It's just a loving great movie.)

I will go to bat for Creed being an actual Rocky movie, though if they do enough sequels lumping them in with the Rocky movies proper seems awkward.

Also speaking of Rocky does Paulie have any redeeming moments in these films, or is he a turd the whole time? I've seen I-IV at various points in my life and can't think of a single moment where he doesn't suck.

I’m still really stoked about a Shane Black Predator movie.

I wish they’d pump these out more. There’s so much potential for fun Predator flicks.

You don’t need to rely on mediocre branded content when there’s no shortage of actually-good movies in the genre like The Hunted 2013, Trigger Man, or The Cannibal In The Jungle.

Speaking of Philadelphia, Rob Mcelhenny's bit about his physique is the most lunatic running gag in sitcom history, having a season where he looks like this



And insists it's all muscle and a season where he looks like this



And is extremely self conscious about being fat is some Christian Bale type weird nonsense

Yo, fam, a no-budget feature film I edited a while ago called The Clown is finally making it into some small time film festivals. Both in PA, so any tristate and eastern seaboard goons go loving find out if this rear end in a top hat you see post a lot can do anything else besides whatever the gently caress it is I actually do.

First off we'll be premiering at the 17th Annual Great Lakes Film Festival in Erie. We're shot sure where we are on the schedule yet, but it's happening some time between September 20th and 29th of this month.

Second is the Reading Film Fest based out of Reading (duh), where we'll be be showing November 3rd, 4 p.m. at the Reading Movies 11/IMAX theater: http://readingfilmfest.com/the-clown/

Barnaby Hatchett, a corporate working stiff whose life is a mess, is harassed everyday as he goes in and out of work by a dark clown that lives in the parking lot, and that only he can see.

I think if it was a wide release and it’s as good as I’m hearing, public opinion about Cage would drastically change. I could definitely see it being one of those movies where word of mouth makes it huge.

If it's as accessible as Beyond the Black Rainbow this will never happen.

One question I always have is how Fred came to be interpreted as some kind of pretty-boy narcissist jock type, when I'm pretty sure all he did in the old show was, like, drive a van and make stale observations.

Like, surely this character has never hosed? He's way more like someone out of an Evangelical propaganda film.

Fred was actually an undercover detective trying to bust Shaggy's dope racket, but was in deep for too long and ended up becoming his cover. It was all in the never-broadcast animated special Scooby-Doo Meets Miami Vice! from 1987, which featured the voices of Don Johnson, Philip Michael Thomas and Edward James Olmos.

The canon couples are Daphne X Velma and Shaggy X Scooby. Freddy just loves solving mysteries!

You wrote me a letter,
and this is how it went:
Finishing up the Jurassic Park novel. You know all those parts you love about the movie? The endearing attention to detail, the character interactions, the scares and thrills, the memorable dialogue? Yeah, that's not in the book.

It's quite amazing how much personality Spielberg (and David Koepp, Dean Cundey, John Berger, John Williams, everyone at Stan Winston Studio, the cast, etc.) managed to cram into this blank slate of a novel. Picking out exactly what doesn't work and twisting it to get the most out of the premise.

I'm just reading and wondering how Crichton manages to make dinosaurs running amok this tepid. It doesn't help that he just assumes you know what these dinosaurs look like, with him getting, at most, as descriptive as 'striped, broad face, five fingers, eyes like a cow' (except the description of the initial compy). I'm gonna need a bit more to go on if you insist on using the proper academic nomenclature for these creatures. I would say, explain it to me like I'm 5 years old, but a 5-year-old would totally know what they all look like.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


The only thing Crichton is good for is digestible minutiae and big picture. But the books are little more than the first idea he thought of while doing a gently caress ton of research into something cool sounding. So he's like the Ridley Scott of books.
