It breaks my heart to see what Screened has become. It's virtually a dead site, and it drives me insane.

FUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEES! I can SO get behind this. Finally, a venue where I can expound about DIRECTORS!Also, I had NOOOOO clue that Scorsese directed The Color of Money! Then again, I guess that should point out how much it doesn't feel like a Scorsese flick to me.

jakob187 commented on FinalDasa's article Roger Ebert passes away.
Personally, I always agreed more with Siskel. I always found Ebert to be a bit too forgiving in his critiques of some movies, and I never really cared too much for when he got political. Nonetheless, the man was at least able to back up everything he said with his own firm logic and reasoning, and he refused to back down from it. That type of integrity is difficult to ...

jakob187 replied to the topic So Tron 3, yay or nay? on the TRON 3 (Working Title) board.
End of credits snippet? Was this something added into the DVD/Blu-Ray releases or something? I stayed through every second of the credits in theatre...twice...and there was never an "end of credit" snippet.Nonetheless, I am more than ready for Tron 3.

Stacey, you did as good of a job as you could with a site that is getting zero attention from BermanBraun. I know that I gave you shit once in a while, and I apologize wholeheartedly for it. I miss this site being truly amazing, and through your efforts, I saw that you wanted to bring it back to that.Right now, despite the excellence of FinalDasa, Matt Florentis (sp?), and ...

@Tylea002 said:Danger Is Real, Fear Is A Choice? What does that even meeeeeeeeeeeeean? Have we forgotten how to write good taglines, or simply ran out?And the fact they're not credited as "Smith and son" makes me sad indeed.That's actually a quote directly from the trailer for the movie. In the context of the poster, it makes no sense at all. In the context that Will Smith delivers the line (with ...

jakob187 commented on staceywi's article The Great Sam Peckinpah .
I've really been enjoying the latest installments of Badass Digest. The analysis that Devin gave in both this video and the Top 10 Comic Book Movies video remind me of the approach that Alex and Rorie had towards video content on Screened.As for this video in particular, anyone who gives Peckinpah the respect as a filmmaker that he deserves is okay in my book. It was a well-done video, although ...

@Ghost_of_GhostDad said:Someone needs to let Warner Brothers know that they own Vertigo comics.QUOTED FOR THE FUCKING TRUTH!Where is my Preacher movie/mini-series? WHERE?! Hell, where is Sweet Tooth...or American Vampire?! FUCK! WHY ISN'T THERE AN AMERICAN VAMPIRE MOVIE SERIES?! They are generally self-contained story arcs and would be AWESOME!*le sigh*With that said, I'd be curious who they would even cast as Wonder Woman, Flash, and Aquaman...and if they would even include ...

I've liked Vin Diesel since he came on the scene. I remember being baked as hell the first time I saw Pitch Black, and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Funny enough, I STILL think it's the greatest thing ever, and I'm stone cold sober. Now we have a new Fast movie this year (which if the trailer is any indication looks AWESOME), and we have a new ...

Devin's list is solid all the way through. The inclusion of American Splendor and Ghost World make me happy.Personally, there are three I would take out and replace with something else. While I love Ichi The Killer and Oldboy, I would take them out due to being manga and put them into a separate list of "Top 10 Manga Movies" type of thing. In place of those two, I would ...

I had so many problems overall with the award distribution this year.1. Argo won for Best Editing over Zero Dark Thirty? That seems like highway robbery! The last thirty minutes of Zero Dark Thirty alone destroyed any editing in Argo.2. Cinematography goes to Life of Pi, a movie that was mostly done with VFX and CGI? Django Unchained and Skyfall were the two better choices in that category.3. Ang Lee ...

WHOA WHOA WHOA!Is Mitch dogging on The Transporter? I will contest until the day that I die that the first and third movies were excellent.

When I saw "42", I was thinking "OH SHIT, A SEQUEL TO 41?!" Oddly enough, I guess we can kind of say that it is since they are both baseball flicks? I'm going to say that it is, just because it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. IT'S BASEBALL SEASON, MOTHER FUCKERS!With all of that said, Brian Helgelund wrote and directed it? Such a polarizing guy. On one hand, ...

In all honestly, I enjoyed the movie. I was expecting it to feel too long, but it felt like a great way of mixing in pieces that led to events in LOTR as well as being the story that The Hobbit wants to tell. Was it a little indulgent? Yes, but for us Tolkien fans, we like indulgent.There were times that I felt it was going a bit over-the-top (the ...

I'm pretty sure that the Cabin in the Woods one was an Alamo Drafthouse exclusive poster.Also, if you dig fan posters, you should check out Reelizer.com. I know a guy locally that can do prints, and so I've had to reproduce some of that work for me to use in my house as decoration. Have a sweet Gremlins, Monster Squad, and Goonies poster. Still working on deciding which Raging Bull ...

This is gonna sound creepy and weird, but it's not: I already knew a lot of that. I had typed "staceywi" into Google the day you started here and found most of that stuff. I like your photography work. Hopefully that can come in handy with Screened as well at some point.Either way, a formal introduction is to be repaid with a formal introduction:My name is Josh. I'm over-opinionated and ...

So Sandra Bullock plays an actress that can't ad-lib for shit and Melissa McCarthy shows that she can't ad lib for shit but they let her do it nonstop anyways?No thanks.

FUCK. THIS. MOVIE.As a hardcore Oz aficionado, it pisses me off to NO END what they are doing with this shit. THE WIZARD WAS A FUCKING BAD GUY COMING INTO OZ! He deceived the people of Oz with parlor tricks to become their Supreme Ruler. He had Oz written on the side of his balloon when he flew in because of his name (acronym is OZPINHEAD, so he shortened it ...

This episode has made the season far more cohesive and worthwhile, Stacey. I think you have to look at it less as the previous seasons. In those seasons, the character development came through plot twists and turns. In this season, it's about role-switching, straight character development, and setting up for more seasons. If anything, I think it's interesting that Kurt Sutter has kind of hinted that there are maybe two ...
