A horror movie where Tara Reid plays an anthropologist... Need I say more.

Director: I have completed my masterpiece! A dance movie that’s nearly 2 1/2 hours long... Screenwriter: But the script was only 8 pages long and two of those just had the words “they dance” written in highlighter. Director: Masterpiece! We watched: NEXT WEEK: Watch Out for Snakes picks

Tim Allen finds out from his ex-wife (JoBeth Williams) that they shared a son together and that she raised him in a jungle. He meets him for the first time and chaos hilariously ensues when Allen brings the jungle boy to New York. Also features Martin Short, Lolita Davidovich and a young Leelee Sobieski as Short's daughter. It's a remake of an obscure foreign film called "Little Indian, Big City" where it was panned by critics, most notably from Siskel and Ebert, where they named it one of the worst films they've seen.

Also this is where we need Taylor Anne's input, but I would imagine the Cuban population is no so large in Texas. I would imagine most of the Hispanic people there are from Mexico. I could be wrong. It just seemed everything was Cuban run or themed or maybe Mexican culture and Cuban culture has more overlap than I thought.

Randa Haines went from making a film that earned a bunch of awards attention ("Children of a Lesser God") to this in a span of a decade, which I can't help but feel was a step backwards for her.

I'm getting conflicting information here. Can you two do a dance battle so I know whom to side with?

There was a scene at the end that absolutely cracked me up. It was right after Rafael had his blow up with Kristofferson and everyone is in the dance studio is moping around. Rafael comes in and starts giving them this pep talk from behind a beaded curtain, stepping through it as he’s laying out his case. But then there’s a wide shot and you see that the beads are only about 3 ft on either side of this huge 25 ft (unbeaded) archway. I don’t know, I just thought it was hilarious to think he decided to go through the beads rather than just walk a couple of feet to his right.

Most ballroom dancing I've seen is like other creative/sport competitions like figure skating where the dancers go out one by one and receive a score from the judges. This felt more like the high school dance-off a la Grease. That said, I think this movie was perfection! I don't see why anyone would have any nits to pick

He says "I'm Cuban, of course I can dance!" but that the concept of ball-change was too foreign.

And she didn’t seem to understand that sometimes you can just dance. Like him, I don’t know technical terms, but I can dance.* Why was that so shocking to her? *citation required.

Two things: 1) Those sprinklers put out a TON of water. 2) Super cool of Williams’ babysitter to be like, “You should go into her house and dry off. Anyway, I’m leaving now...”

I also thought it was a weird choice to pair Rafael with Jane Krakowski’s character. It’s a movie! Why not have your leads together? It’s a weird “I dance, and you dance, but I’m going to dance with that person and you’re going to dance with that person.” I thought the movie was going to be about blending her rigid training with his free-flowing style and that’s how you win. But...no. Not really.

I turned to my boyfriend at one point while we were watching this and I said "oh man I can't wait to hear what June says about this movie."

Just remember what to do when you feel agitated.

I'm not sure if June will ever forgive Paul for Serenity. It's ROUGH

Let's take the two grossest condiments and put them together in one easy to throw away container.

Thanks, Elektra! Honestly, I’m less thrilled about the win (although that’s also very nice), and more about making Paul laugh. That’s the real trophy To be honest, I agree with Paul. Last weeks C&O’s were really, really good. I’m proud of everyone!

Congratulations to Cameron for being back on top. I liked it when forum posters win and not those LOSER call-in people. I am excited for SERENITY. I feel a little responsible since I suggested it in the bad movie recommendation threads. I'll be curious to see what people who have never heard anything about it think is going on. I, unfortunately, only saw it after reading about it. So I was spoiled. IF anyone went in cold, I want to hear your thoughts.

I love how Paul has incorporated Cody and Devin into the mini-episodes. It’s nice to have their insight as well. Also, just like Paul I grew up with tomato/mayonnaise sandwiches. They are great. Tomatoes are delicious. However, I’m sorry Kraft, but I will never, ever, ever eat one of your weird hybrid flavors. First of all, I think it’s kind of lazy. What, I can’t be bothered to squeeze two different bottles? Get out of here with that shit! Americans need to be more active! And secondly, I’m not sure I trust your ratios. If you put too much ketchup or BBQ sauce or whatever your whole sandwich is gonna be totally fucked. There’s an art to condiments. You can’t just wing it! Also, Ranch is fucking disgusting. You think adding ketchup is going to somehow make that horror show edible? Get the fuck out of here...

Austin show was a blast! So impressed with how fast paul moves around the venue. I figured they edited from question to question to kill any dead space, but they don’t need to. Paul was downstairs one moment then up in the balcony in seconds! Got to appreciate the hustle.

Geez you really truly believe it's real racism to note that Van Halen makes white people music? Racism and sexism are about power imbalances; we fight it when a majority targets hatred on a minority. That's not even remotely the same thing as pointing out white people like Van Halen. It's not even the same thing for a woman to dislike the state of the patriarchy. See how it works, and how Nicole isn't it? Probably not, because you're an idiot. All she did was mention race and you flipped your damn lid. White people are such snowflakes. Get over yourself. Haha "boldly and directly disparage everyone in the room" haha so ridiculous. I don't believe it to be possible that you're even remotely a fan of Conan O'Brien. Go away.

I created an account just to recommend this movie. Just saw it two nights ago. A fishing-noir (!) with an M Knight level twist? It's almost like it was designed for HDTGM. Bonkers all the way.

I just read the wiki for this film and when I saw what it was I instantly knew it has to be covered by the show. I'll give them credit for completely covering up the twist and not revealing anything in the promotional material, but holy shit that is a level of insanity that needs to be covered. I'm not wondering how it got greenlit, I'm wondering how a slew of Oscar winners and nominees read this script and went, "yep, where do I sign up?"
