Uhh any lingering questions about the awfulness of "Cop Out" were answered in the very last frame: "Directed by Kevin Smith". (also the original title for the film was, I'm serious, "A Couple Of Dicks". if they had any balls they would've stuck with that. Cop out, indeed!)
The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (batshit [in a great way])
Muppet Christmas Carol (classic)
Andrei Rublev (loooooong [but great!])
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (masterpiece)
the one thing I remember about that movie is how Charlize Theron's husband has a really thick Scottish accent, so whenever he tried to say "asthma", i LOLed all the way to the bank.
All I know is, the possibility of seeing Stanley Tucci wail on some guys with a huge sword is more than enough to get my ass in the seats (i have a large ass).
I'm with you, my friend...and they don't take too kindly to NJ roots 'round these parts...just look at all the BASTARDS WHO MINUSED ME when i tried to defend our home state the other week...
The female presence on "The League" does genuinely bother me, in spite of all the lulz that show delivers. The two female characters represent two polar opposites of how women are portrayed on television/in movies: one is every guy's dream girl who loves sports and drinking and special sex, the other is an absolute uptight nightmare. i really hope they introduce a BELIEVABLE female character soon, so the budding white liberal guilt inside of me can subside and i can enjoy the show fully. preferably while sipping on some Three Penis Wine.
Well, the dude's name is being used to carry out a potential genocide, so I'm not sure she would've really had to put up that many smokescreens to make him look bad anyway.

This guy is such a garbage clown, but at least back then he was a HARMLESS garbage glown.
Ok guys. I feel the need to say this every time something like this show happens. I'm a native New Jerseyan (although I've lived in Philadelphia for 3 years now), and just would like to let everyone out there know that NOT ALL OF NEW JERSEY IS LIKE THIS. The Jersey Shore is most certainly like this, as is most of Southern New Jersey. But the rest of the state? NOT LIKE THIS. I promise you we are not all fried leather Guidos who hate any person who is not a fried leather Guido. In fact, some of us are very nice, and would be much nicer to you if you didn't have such a negative view of us, thanks in no small part to these fist-pumping troglodytes. Just know that there is more to New Jersey than all of that. Ok, that is all. I feel better now.
Seeing James Lipton rip his own beard off and put it on a teenage girl's face, that I was okay with. When he used the word "pussywillow"? I shuddered. Big time.
Yeah it's been a good year for Philly locals blowing up your internets. Kurt Vile, Cold Cave, Free Energy, now these guys (who are totally awesome and the nicest folks you would ever wanna meet, btw). Almost makes us losing the World Series tolerable. ALMOST.
Hey! Fellow Phillygummer! I thought I was the only one! I seriously may have to hop on the Bolt Bus for this if I'm not too bogged down with finals and real life adult stuff.
it takes a real lapse in judgment to write, on the internet, I'VE RUBBED OFF ON MY 5 YEAR OLD SON.

The worst thing (amongst many) about "Chasing Amy" is the fact that Kevin Smith made it as a tribute to his older brother, who is gay, because apparently he was bummed out that homosexuals were underrepresented on the silver screen. So, naturally, Kevin Smith's response to his brother's lament was to make a film in which Ben Affleck cures a gay woman of her pesky homosexuality by giving her a hot beef injection. KEVIN SMITH IS THE HARVEY MILK OF DICK AND FART JOKEZ BASICALLY.
I've seen it twice, and I loved it both times. Anderson's whole motif fits perfectly with animation, where, like you said Gabe, you can be fussy and whimsical, and it totally serves the picture. It feels instantly timeless, and not just because it's based on a book I loved in the 2nd grade; it just has a really warm, loose, retro feel without going into kitsch territory. And unlike Where the Wild Things are, I can totally see kids loving this movie just as much as adults. A total WIN on all fronts. It's between this and "A Serious Man" for me for film of the year.
