For the discussion of film
The time of judgment draws nigh! With one exception, all the remaining movies are now from a 14-year window between 1989 and 2003. Closest bracket: Con Air vs. Demolition Man, 35 – 33. Biggest blowout: Plan 9 from Outer Space … Continue reading Best Worst Movies Tournament: Round Four
When you see that a movie is a Golan-Globus Production in its opening credits, you have no idea what you’re in for. The people behind the Cannon Group were certainly… ambitious. They had a few winners, they had a few … Continue reading TCM Underground: Hercules (1983)
Welcome to my weekly discussion of the animated films of the Walt Disney Studio. I’m proceeding mostly chronologically. The title comes from a quote from Walt, “I never called my work an ‘art’ It’s part of show business, the business … Continue reading Building Entertainment: The Animated Films of the Walt Disney Studio.

This is a question that I have always been puzzled by…why is it that certain franchises seem to lay claim to a certain genre or sub-genre? Like, pirates are cool, and I like movies about pirates, but the ONLY movies … Continue reading Locked-up Genres

As the brackets increasingly narrow to a field between the late ’80s and early ’00s, I’m reconsidering the guidelines. Of course I won’t change anything now, but if I were to do this again, I think I’d put in a … Continue reading Best Worst Movies Tournament: Round Three
Thirty-two films didn’t make it out of round one, but the remaining entries represent a leaner, meaner kind of bad. Closest bracket: Bubble Boy (2001) vs. Hudson Hawk (1991), 19-18. Biggest blowout: Con Air (1997) vs. Battlefield Earth (2000), 57-17. … Continue reading Best Worst Movies Tournament: Round Two
It was 2012 and Psy’s “Gangnam Style” became the surprise viral hit of the summer. I got barraged with this Gangnam Style video and people talking about it. It seemed at the time that that video and the dance from … Continue reading WTF ASIA 1: Funky Forest – First Contact (2005)
Perhaps it doesn’t mean much since it’s only April, but I see a fair amount of movies and You Were Never Really Here is my favorite movie I’ve seen in 2018 so far. It’s hard to really describe the plot, … Continue reading Movie Review: You Were Never Really Here
It’s time for another round of Muppet Casting, where we take a famous movie and ask, if Jim Henson’s Muppets made their own version of it (in the vein of The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island), which Muppets … Continue reading Muppet Casting: The Spider-Man Trilogy
You never forget your second time Continue reading Deadpool FINAL Trailer Reaction
After leaving the nominations open for a couple of days, the results are in! Seventy-four movies had seven votes or more; since the first round has 64 slots, I was the tiebreaker. Please observe a moment of silence for the … Continue reading Best Worst Movies Tournament: Round One
League of Gods wasn’t really that big of a blockbuster in 2016 (i.e. the year of The Mermaid.) The movie made $43 million… which wasn’t bad. According to Box Office Mojo, that’s less than The Legend of Tarzan, but more … Continue reading Made Overseas: League of Gods (2016)
Lets do it as it’s own thread instead of seeing it constantly popping up. Choose 4 movies that define who you are and your taste in movies. Explaining your choices and including screenshots of the films is encouraged. Continue reading Filmstuck 4 Movies That Define You
With a collection of well-reviewed films that I have minimal to no interest in out in theaters, choosing which one to see next becomes a tossup, and in this scenario, tie goes to the film guaranteed to infuriated tossers. While … Continue reading Movie Reviews: Ready Player One (2018)
Hollywood has a storied history of projects that go through multiple creative teams. A script will bounce around town, be attached to one director, but then wind up being made by someone different. Or sometimes, a film will go through … Continue reading Alternate Dimension Versions of Movies
Well count my capes and call me Kent, looks like we’re finally gettin’ something a little different for the DC Extended Universe (maybe, ain’t so clear yet if it will even be apart of it). Welcome to the family, Steven … Continue reading Blackhawk Film from Steven Spielberg in the Works Discussion Page
In the style of other Avocado tournaments, I wanted to see what our favorite bad movie is. Badness – like quality – is a subjective interpretation, so I’m not going to put any stylistic restrictions on what makes an entry … Continue reading Best Worst Movies Tournament: Nominations
Before Star Wars and Planet of the Apes, there was Star Trek. It was a low-budget TV show that got canned after three seasons, and yet it morphed into the original pop culture obsession that became short hand for weirdos … Continue reading The Star Trek Thread
