LOL! I've never actually listened to Bale's rant before. My favorite part is when he's like, "Do you want me to kick your ass?" there's some noise like he's struggling to get to the offending party, then suddenly he's like, "Do you want me to break all your lights? I'm sure you're a nice guy..." It's like he got over to the guy and suddenly realized, Uh-oh, this guy looked a lot smaller from over there...I'm not sure if I can beat him up...How can I get out of this without appearing to be backing down? I know! "Your LIGHTS! I'm gonna beat up your lights, you nice guy you...grrrr."

Oh! 100%!

Granted, I haven't seen this movie in years, but I have to agree with Lando. I think that the best types of movies for this show to poke fun at are movies that generally fail at their intent and in their execution. While I see your points, they all work within the world the film makers were creating. They set out to make a movie about reality television carried out to extreme and absurd lengths, and that's what they delivered. To be clear, I'm in no way a fan or advocate of Jim Carrey, or even this movie for that matter (I think I may have seen it once), but to me, suggesting The Truman Show would be akin to recommending The Naked Gun for the show because it doesn't provide an accurate portrayal of police work.

No, Samantha, the people who don't watch Real Genius and Kindergarten Cop every time they're on are the ones who are wrong. You and I are gold.

Dunno. I just assume everything I read on the Internet is true. Do you have a second? I'd love to tell you about chemtrails and the lizard people?

"Perfect" is such a subjective term, but I will say I tried this and they couldn't wait to get me out the door. The trick is to never drop eye contact.

Yeah, I checked for that too! It's in Earwolf Classics.

I watched The Covenant last Thursday, and I wish I could say I remembered anything about it. I guess this movie cast its own special spell on me...

Since it hasn't been brought up yet, I just wanted to give Paul a big pat on the back for how he handled the whole Robyn Lively C&O section. I was happy to hear him shoulder most of the blame--even though I don't really feel he had to. I do think it's a shame that the episode will be edited from here on out, mostly because I don't think what they said was really all that big of a deal, but I understand the need for some diplomacy in these sorts of situations. If nothing else, it's certainly preferably to the whole episode getting Smurf-ed or Green Lantern-ed. Bravo to Mr. Scheer for being one classy dude!

I thought "the covenant" was the agreement the five families had about keeping their secret from the Muggles and Mudbloods. Granted, that doesn't seem to be the major issue in the movie, but that's what I got from it.

Jesus Christ, I almost went into a douche seizure watching that! I just impressed by how committed Harlin was to the tone "ominous." To paraphrase The Incredibles: "When everything is ominous, it's just another way of saying nothing is."

Funny you mention that... Please tell me I'm not the only one who was singing ridiculous lyrics ("Witch Fiiiiight! Two dudes are having a Witch Fiiiight!") every time the distorted guitars kicked in...

You're absolutely right! I stand corrected.

This is actually something I have a problem with as well. I honestly don't get if this is a reboot or a sequel. I saw a headline (didn't read the article) on IMDb that something like, "Why they decided to do a reboot instead of a sequel," but then in the trailer, it says: "30 years ago, four scientists saved New York City. This summer, a new team will answer the call." So...is it a reboot or a sequel? To me, a reboot means "we may take some aspects of the source material, but we're basically starting this over from scratch" and a sequel means "This is the next chapter of that story and this all exists in the same universe." Again, I guess we have to wait in see, but I'm thoroughly confused. I feel like they're deliberately obfuscating the matter. It's like their trying to be their own thing, but don't have the confidence to separate themselves from the originals--and that is troubling.

Hey, if Corrections & Ommisions is going to become Corrections, Ommisions, and Pontifications can we just go ahead and call ourselves a symposium so that the acronym will be C.O.P.S? OOH! Dibs on being "Bulletproof" Vess!

Yeah, l mean, I know this is just a gut reaction thing and I'm just basing it on the trailer, but when I watch it I see, "Okay, you three white women, you'll be the scientists, and you...you're going to be the blue collar, sassy black woman, but don't worry, you'll have "street smarts" and be like really funny." Considering the whole #Oscarssowhite controversy, it feels really tone deaf. Why can't she be a scientist and McCarthy or someone else be the subway attendant? Granted, maybe there's more to it than I'm seeing from the trailer, but that's how it comes off to me. That's a perfect way to describe it! It just doesn't feel right. I'll give it a shot when it it comes out, but the whole thing feels too glossy--and not nearly fun or funny enough. It's real a shame too considering the people involved...

Opinions on the new Ghostbusters trailer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ugHP-yZXw My biggest concern: why can't they all be scientists? The, "You're all scientists, but I know New York line" makes me cringe a bit.

Why not do it as an episode? You don't have to do this alone.

First of all, I just want to say, I appreciate a good controversy, and while I don't agree with you specifically on the Deanna thing, I do think you make some valid points about Reality television in general. I agree with you that it is objectively terrible and brings very little to the table from a societal stand point. I certainly don't relish the idea that future generations will look back on this period of time and think that this is our "art." That is utterly embarrassing. The fact that I can refresh my news feed at any time, and without fail, be bombarded by at least one story about a Kardashian is very frustrating. I just want to let you know that I agree with you that Reality TV, as it reflects our culture as a whole, is not really a great thing, but I do stand by my assertion, that on an individual and personal level, it's relatively harmless and people should be able to consume whatever media they wish. I think Reality TV, as with most things, is fine in moderation, but becomes a problem when it becomes an obsession. Thank you for the engaging conversation!

At last! You've foolishly revealed your weakness!
