Gosh, Wes crusher sure has grown up. Almost didn't recognize him.

Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein

A send up of the monster-rama movies of the late 30's and 40's.  This features not only Bud and Lou but also Bela Lugosi as Dracula, Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman, Glen Strange as Frankenstein's Monster and even a cameo by Vincent Price as the Invisible Man.  The plot is that a mad scientist wants to revive Frankenstein's Monster with a simple pliable brain; naturally the one she picks belongs to Lou Costello.  Hilarity ensues.

It is a shame that Abbot and Costello are dead; "Abbot and Costello Meet the Gay Emo Vampire" would make an awesome follow up to the Twilight series.

I saw the new Sherlock Holmes movie. I was hoping for a stupid and fun adventure movie. Unfortunately, it only lived up to the first half of that.

I'd forgotten all about this, only watched season one.  Guess I'll catch up

I was looking forward to that one until I saw the trailer and realized they had made just another run of the mill action comedy out of our beloved slightly disturbed detective. At first glance Downey jr seemed like an inspired casting choice but Jude Law just looks ridiculous...

Here's an example of his German dubbing voice:

2012. The worst movie I've seen in quite some time, none of it worked except maybe the effects.. though, they weren't all that impressive either.

Also, I'm sad to say but the Dane is this one is really awful, he should stick to being the funny immigrant in Danish comedies.

Creepshow 2.  Not as good as the original, and only 3 stories rather than the 5 from the first one.  Also, they redid the Creepshow Creep such that he is basically a clone of the Crypt Keeper, only not decomposed.

Quite frankly, I'm fed the fuck up with the pop culture facination of that pretentious little shit.  Dude sullies the memory of the Grunge Era.

Agreed.  He managed to make his loserdom into something less pathetic than his peers' loserdom, but still pathetic.  He died of Terminal Stupidity (a particularly unattractive form of suicide).

If he'd brought a map he could have walked to safety at any time he wanted to.  I guess that doesn't make as good of a movie though.

Meh.  Lots of people have had the impulse to 'get away from it all', and yet never acted on it, so people can identify with the guy (I forget his name).  And yet he did so in a fairly stupid manner.  I mean there are ways to get away from most of it, and still live.  Or heck I do know of several people who manage to live off the grid, and only come into town a couple times a year for supplies.

PBS always plays "Alone in the Wilderness" about Dick Proenneke, a guy who went into the wild the right way.

Oh ok, a movie about an insane dude.   I'm sure Penn tried to turn him into some sort of great hero we all should worship, right?

It played him as fairly sympathetic, yes, but didn't shy away from the fact that his death was ultimately his own fault.

I don't think it came close to displaying his idiocy.  The movie made it look like he was careless and got trapped in the wilderness by an impassable river, and then died because of poor survival skills.  In reality he was never trapped, he could have safely crossed the river 1/4 mile away from where he tried to and walked to civilization any time he wanted to.
