So Mills has invented PIOs that won't return your calls? I mean, one, that's not much of a change but two, that's not how this works, Mike.

"I love The Money Pit."

"Don't call me a racoon!"

"Han did not shoot first."

I think Queer Eye is when it gains traction.

There's a lot to be written about how much polari becomes common British slang due to the characters Julian and Sandy on the radio show Round the Horne ...

Hulce's performance on Out There is just perfection.

Poster for the animated film The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996). From the top of the bell tower, we see between the bells down into Paris blazing in orange. Quasimodo sits on the ledge reaching out for a dove.

This week for the first in my Spooky Season Monster Mash series, I watched a movie with the scariest monster I can think of: Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame in which the monster wraps himself in unjust laws and bible quotes to commit genocide and assault.

Strong contender for Disney's best animated feature. Stirring, epic, the most complete and integrated score, and comedy gargoyles!

Been a few years, but I recall Clockers being pretty close and actually good.

I think some have, but it doesn't mean they survive the process. Most straight adaptations tend to be lifeless.

I hate when people say, "Oh, you have to be stoned/tripping to really get that film." Dude(tte), I've seen you laugh at an apple when you're high, and voluntarily watch a Pauly Shore film straight. We're not letting you edit the Cahiers du Cinema after a bong rip.

Reminder that Vance should wake up every morning and thank Ron Howard, and Tim Duggan and Jonathan Jao (his editors at HarperCollins) for inflicting his 'biography' on us.

I always get frustrated when directors and actors claim Brando was naturalistic. He was just his own brand of ham.

He briefly, Donkey Kong-style, remounted them with that first half season, but after that hooooboy. I mean, how bad do you have to fail to make a horror series set in a carnival and alienate me, your clear target audience?

People got actually near-naturalistic performances with Mumblecore and then bitched about it. All acting is artifice.

The pr company involved deserves a raise and to never get their pitch emails opened again.

Excellently written, and reenforces my opinion that he went off the rails after the Halloween episode of season 1 of American Horror Story.

At last, a member of that family who has done something to help small businesses and artists, and brought some joy to the world.

Still got my Shout! Factory blu ...

At least you always have a roof over your head.

Why lure 'em into a van when you can just call it a campaign internship?

It looks like what you'd win at the carnival if you didn't get enough tickets for that coke mirror or the Naruto Funko Pop for you girlfriend's kid.

America is now run by the worst carnies.

As someone who got tall young, the feeling of being too big for the world but still trying to squeeze in that's inherent in Johnson's performance hit very close to home. It reminded me of the second verse of Anti-Hero. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kb...
