I wish Bradley 'Sex Machine' Shoemaker had a Daytona 500 live cast. Nascar and Oscar. That totally doesn't rhyme.
General Discussion » Movies that should NEVER be remade
Raiders. Shia LeBeef, or anyone else, will never be Harrison Ford. Spielberg and Lucas still make me nervous, even after that South Park episode.
General Discussion » I am teaching film studies - help me corrupt America's youth!
I will give you my top 3 Westerns, as I think the genre is worth study:
The Outlaw Josey Wales - I am going with this one over Unforgiven. The story is ambiguous, there is no good vs. evil black and white conflict, but the ending here is uncertain. Killing men is uneasy business no matter how righteous the reason.
The Searchers - John Wayne plays himself as a stoic yet deeply racist cowboy. The film itself is gorgeous. The landscapes and cinematography are highly influential.
Dances with Wolves - too long Blazing Saddles - I wish but no too much Boss N - NO The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - It is just entertaining as hell.
Honorable mention that is not a western: THE ROOM - An example of everything that one shouldn't do.
TV » Favorite TV Sci-Fi Franchise?
Maybe it doesn't qualify because it only lasted one season, but yeah, Firefly. I apologize for any derail.
General Discussion » I'm making a movie and I wanted some opinion on swearing.
'Hell' and 'damn' are rather pedestrian terms. Like 'oh poo' or 'crap, zombies.' You can dirty it down, or you can finesse it. If the director's girlfriend (I am not starting with that beehive) says that hell and damn are curse words and there are too many of them, then maybe going full blown AIDS CUNT MOTHERFUCKIN ZOMBIE BAT may not be the way to go. You are going to have to figure out how to finesse things, like perhaps the way Seth Grahame-Smith did with Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
General Discussion » What 2011 movies do you regret missing?
I missed the JGL in 50/50. Love that guy. I also regret missing the Tree of Life and Midnight in Paris.
Editing & Tools » Request a name/alias change here
Jim Jeffries should actually be Jim Jefferies. The middle 'e' mistake happens a lot with Jim. No alias change. Thanks in advance.
General Discussion » What are some other Sidegrades candidates you'd like to see?
Star Trek: Enterprise vs. Stargate: Universe. Sing it!
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD....
Off-Topic » Best PS2 Games
I will go with GTA: San Andreas. For my money. For what its worth. At the end of the day. Bottom line. Because Stone Cold said so. If you smell what the Rock is cooking.
General Discussion » Boxing Film Recommendations
Rocky V is pretty obscure. A-zing.
Obscure? I always liked an old boxing movie called Fat City starring a baby boy Jeff Bridges and Stacy Keach. Might be a little hard to come by, but worth a look. I may be one of the few that enjoyed Play It to the Bone, but it's obscure and boxing related. The Hammer with Adam Corolla's stupid fat mouth is actually enjoyable. Girlfight with Michelle Rodriguez was OK, if you're into that whole girlpower = fighting thing.
Ooh, see the documentary of Mike Tyson. He is all too human, and it is a great film.
Lastly, there is an obscure boxing movie called Against the Ropes with Meg Ryan. Skip that movie hard. If you see a copy, throw it on the floor and step on it until you hear a crunch. Boy has her star fallen...

I speculate that Bane will sing O, Canada.

Off-Topic » Is it too late for me to start reading recreationally?
You should jump into the Twilight series. It's really romantic and well written, I just love it. There's no shame in it. I love Stephanie Meyer's description of Edward as he walks into the sunlight and he sparkles because he is a sparkly vampire and vampires totally like sparkle in sunlight and then ohmygosh he leaves her a note that says "Take care of my heart, I left it with you" it is just the best thing I ever read and SQUEEEEEE TEAM EDWARD!!!
Do it. It'll be fun.

Happy sleepy kitty.
General Discussion » Trailer For The Vow: Is this the worst thing ever?
Why yes, Channing Tatum is very forgettable.
TV » Zooey Daschanel sitcom: horrible or not?
This looks godawful. And I still think she looks like Katy Perry.
Off-Topic » What do you guys make for lunch?
I don't know what you call it. A sub, grinder, hero, or whatever. I just know that I like a good 8 or 9 inches in my mouth. Hey-o.
I call it a sub. A couple of my favorites are a ribeye and a salmon BLT. A nice thin strip of ribeye with some onions and horseradish make for a wonderful brown bag lunch. I also do a salmon BLT, which is not quite perfected yet, where I crumble some salmon with a little mayo and then add bacon, lettuce, tomato. Subway can suck my balls.

Perhaps you could name it the Ghost of Christmas Past effect? Scrooged, maybe?
