Big Hollywood : 'Antichrist': Lars von Trier Bores Me

Poor Willem DaFoe. First "Body of Evidence," now this. He seems drawn to roles which pose clear and present danger to his junk.

Big Hollywood : Russell Brand's DVD Shows Two Sides of Bawdy Brit

And anyway, since you brought it up: what in the world does MTV have to do with judging music videos anyway? That makes as much sense as a gay dude judging a womens' beauty contest. Stick to what you know, MTV. Staged reality shows, blipverts, and regular fluid changes on Kurt Loder's formaldehyde tank.

"The stunt reveals his modus operandi. He instinctively provokes conflict, then rails against those angered by his comportment." That's an awful lot of words to describe what Usenet classified two decades ago as a "troll." Related phrase: "plonk."

Big Hollywood : 'Star Trek' Flicks -- Worst to Best: Part 1

Thank you for your valiant effort at contributing to the proposed flamewar, but that part about it requiring some sort of effort to be cooler than trekkies kinda blew it from a plausibility standpoint. ;)

"This film asks the classic Star Trek questions: Who are we? Why are we here? Is this all that there is?" Actually those are the classic Babylon 5 questions. You know, that vastly superior series that DS9 ripped off, badly. /flamebait :D

Those who glorify the 60s do so because they generally can't remember them. :)

Big Hollywood : Screenwriter Confesses: I Could Never Love a Woman Who Didn't Love 'The Seven Samurai'

Oh man, story of my life. +1.

"Hey hon, come watch this movie with me." "It's not that Seven Samurai thing again, is it?" "Nah, this is a western. Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Chuck Bronson. You'll LOVE it."

Big Hollywood : Don Henley's Lawsuit Against Chuck DeVore Threatens First Amendment

"Doesn't Henley have a right to protect his creation?" He's not protecting his creation, he's trying to use copyright law improperly to bludgeon someone whose politics differ from his own. Go look up parody and fair use. Really, in this day and age, someone doesn't know this? Really?

Hard to believe this is the same guy who sang "Dirty Laundry."

Big Hollywood : Political Correctness is Torture

We're rare, but the army is growing every day. Soon we'll take back the planet from the blondes. A 10,000-to-1 numerical advantage on their side should just about make it a fair match. (And by "fair," I mean sufficiently overwhelming that I won't feel bad about resorting to tactics like throwing a shiny object off a cliff and watching the first three divisions of the blonde hordes chase it.)

Big Hollywood : The Wussification of America

"as long as there are people dedicated to your demise you need to do what it takes to protect the innocent. One suspects even The One will learn this in time" A reasonable position, but one which presupposes that The One isn't one of those "people dedicated to our demise." Which he *may* not be, at least not in a militant, proactive sense. All indications to the contrary notwithstanding. But still not a bet I'd put all the chips on at the moment.

Speaking on behalf of redheaded stepchildren everywhere, KMFA. Don't blame this putz on us. We'll put up with the pointing and laughing and name-calling like we always have, but try pushing all your own turds into our pool and your ass is grass the second you're not standing in direct sunlight. :)

I like to think that jihadis entered into the situation willingly, by being jihadis. Hey, they assumed the risk.

Big Hollywood : Paul Rodriguez: 'The fish lives and the farmers die.'

Mon, 4 May 2009 14:06:16 +0000

I wasn't aware this guy had his head on straight. I'd pretty much given up on mainstream standup comedians as a monolithic block of vapid left-wing droolers. I was wrong. Sorry, Mr. Rodriguez. We still may or may not agree politically, but at least you're reasonable enough put the concerns of your fellow humans on equal or greater footing with the concerns of a fish.

Well THERE'S the photo you want up on the screen when your boss walks past the cube. Thanks, Spike!

"We don't get acne, or gas." We get gas...it's just that where a dirty lefty might allow all that greenhouse methane out into the atmosphere unchecked, we're environmentally conscious enough to do something about it. Like set it on fire. On one campout I personally flash-roasted a spotted owl, albeit unintentionally. Scared me so much I knocked a whole pan of snail darters into the coals.

Big Hollywood : Review: 'Wolverine' is Lazy Moviemaking

Mon, 4 May 2009 13:28:50 +0000

Gosh, and to think most of the poor souls who saw this movie probably went into it expecting The Maltese Falcon! Thank you for your warning, good sir, it's impossible to estimate how many people you've saved from their dire misconceptions about an X-Men movie!

Big Hollywood : Bea Arthur: Farewell to a Likable Feminist

I was wondering if anyone was going to mention that psychedelic nightmare. Even the RiffTrax version of it was painful to watch.
