    I downloaded this episode from itunes and when I played it it was actually last week's after dark mixed with an older episode or after dark. Not sure if anyone else encountered this problem, just thought I'd mention it if it hadn't been already.

    Brad Pitt's performance in Inglourious Basterds reminded me of a more graphic and cartoony John Wayne. Which I liked since I grew up with John Wayne movies.

    John Hoffman is one of the funniest people you've ever had on his show.

    I don't know...

    They are similarly awful and have similarly incomprehensibly avid followings...

    Have you guys reviewed (500) Days of Summer yet, cos I cant find a /film cast on it, so I was wondering if/when you plan on reviewing it.

    'Gamer' was extremely entertaining. Neveldine and Taylor's raw, dynamic and vivid imagery is truly a thing to behold. I'm saddened that 'Crank 2' and 'Gamer' had such poor openings, because I think that N & T's guerrilla-style filmmaking is a welcome refreshment to the stale action flicks Hollywood has been producing. It's sickening that 'The Final Destination' remains at #1 at the B.O. --- oh well, there's no accounting for taste.
  • Can somebody please talk about Sorority Row on the next cast?

    It's the only movie I'm willing to watch this week
