This episode was giftastic.

Cramstuffer!

Nah, it's a weird movie, but that's way too dark in tone.

You could say that era is essentially his entire life span.

They pull him off. He definitely doesn't kill him.

I love this movie, if for no other reason than it gave us the titular song by Giorgio Moroder & Phillip Oakey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gyPjIxpDe4

And Sliver & Basic Instinct shared the same screenwriter, so it's no wonder it feels like familiar territory. The Richard Gere one you're thinking of is probably Final Analysis, which is probably the best of the bunch, really.

I watched this again last night, just to make sure that my enjoyment wasn't tainted by false recollections. I actually like LL in this. He seemed to have reasonably good comedic timing and the running gag about his covert training was solid. It's interesting to see how many movies actually borrowed from this later on down the line. A variation on the bit with the music video in the hallway is basically used in Ghost Protocol. LL always wearing clothes to match the furniture is recycled in the Robert Downey Sherlock movies. And the commentary on drone warfare is oddly topical. I had also forgotten how charming Robin Wright was. I have to face the fact that I'm a Toys apologist.

Not just a Full House storyline. I don't remember if he was ever considered an official member of the band, but he did play drums on several of their albums and was part of the live tour setup for a while. I think he even played on the recent 50th Anniversary Tour.

Oh wow, Dreamscape. I rewatched that recently and it's still very interesting. Kinda cheesey but still interesting. It totally gave me nightmares as a kid.

Celebrity DJs are also notorious for fake knob twiddling. If you ever see some famous musician or actor booked as a DJ at a club, watch them closely. 9/10 they are just playing a pre-recorded set. Of course in fairness most people in the audience could not give two craps, because it's more about sharing a moment with that person than how technically proficient a DJ they are.

I remember liking this movie. It was like a film version of that Tomorrowland ride at Disneyland that they don't have any more, where you were injected into the bloodstream.

I often bring this up as well. Bad taste is universal, no need to dump on Americans for it when everyone else is just as bad.

Confession time: I used to be a club DJ/promoter and we would sometimes book these flash-in-the-pan guys like Skrillex who had dropped some wacky track that was popular for a summah because you have to fill 52 Friday nights and sometimes you do what you have to. Then they'd get on to do an actual DJ set, and it was like Ableton Live vomited all over the dance floor. I remember one guy specifically had some success because he basically did a dubstep remix of a Smashing Pumpkins song, and his set was just 1 1/2 hours of garbled noise with occasional bass drops. Then about 6 months later I was at another club that had booked him, and it was literally the exact same set. I think he just pre-recorded everything and pretended to fiddle with knobs to keep up appearances.

The thing you have to remember with EDM is that the term is so broad/generic that it's kind of meaningless (think alternative, indie, etc.). EDM could encompass anything from Skrillex to Giorgio Moroder to Sparks to Washed Out. Even when you get down to the more specific sub-genres it can be confusing. Skrillex is considered dubstep but so are Katy B and Burial, and those 3 really sound nothing alike. It's really like any other genre that gets super popular; the stuff that's easiest to digest tends to rise to the top.

Deciduous 2: The Leaves Are Falling

That Avicii song is like a serious version of Cotton Eye Joe.

Well and was nudity somehow crucial to the killer's identity? Like cutting it down from NC17 meant they needed a new killer because the killer had a full frontal scene or something? WHAT IS HAPPENING

The screenplay is by Joe 'Jade' 'Basic Instinct' 'Showgirls' Eszterhas. That guy is really into graphic sex scenes. REALLY INTO. I'm fascinated as to why they would have to change the killer's identity based on the rating. How could that possibly effect a plot point? Also guys, this movie made a lot of money. It was basically a flop domestically (which was what I remembered), but it made a nice profit overseas.

This 'movie' is just scene after scene of Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin saying disgusting things to each other. If they do it on the show, I predict Jason will jerk it multiple times. But he'll be crying while he does it.

To add to the lack of chemistry between anyone in the movie, this also features that tepid reggae version of 'I Can't Help Falling In Love With You'.

I will go on the record and say I love this movie, but it's absolutely head-to-toe bonkers. It really is more of an art project than a movie.

I liked this up until the first twist, which I could kind of accept, but then it gets worse with the 2nd twist. Why should I care that Imaginary Amanda Peet gets killed by Imaginary Psycho Child in Imaginary Florida? There are just no stakes to that scene, because at that point we already know Amanda Peet isn't real. Until that point, it's a pretty decent And Then There Were None remake.

Though sadly Love owns the Beach Boys name and has yet again weaseled Brian out of it all.
