Woah there, nellies!
What was with all the movie reviews giving away major plot details in the last issue? For example: Max Manus: “The movie is tense at parts and touching in its final act, where the anguish of losing comrades over the course of the war finally overwhelms Max’s spirits” (27);
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: “…another of those patronizing endings that tell kids their problems aren’t important” (28);
Hot Tub Time Machine: “…its happy ending has the hot tubbers content with more money, bigger houses, and sexier, more deferential wives” (28).
And the pet-peeves of all pet-peeves, the reveal of a “twist ending”: Remember Me: “…with a ridiculous twist of an ending that is rightfully destined to piss of a few New Yorkers” (28).
I know reviewing is a slippery slope, but come on, a little decorum, please!—Spoiled rotten

Miles just ruined it by citing a modern sci-fi show on the Space network…hardly a ‘classic’, indeed watched only by live-at-homes in their parents’ basement on a 52 inch rear-projection with a failing bulb, surrounded by empty crisp wrappers and back-issues of the New Scientist…
And “Dude where’s my car?” was a classic?
Where was the car by the way?
so…you watch the show too, huh Frosty?
Probably not any more. I ruined the ending for him.
so Miles…you don’t really live in your parents basement, do you?
No, they live in MY basement 🙂
*biting nails nervously as the wedding date closes in on her*
With their own separate entrance and no access to the upper level?
Exactly. You hardly know they are there except for Sunday dinner as a family…because family is important.
Well, it is certainly nice to know that you feel that way. I know my many children enjoy Sunday dinner with the family.
But they don’t live in your basement do they?
and if they do, do you think they’ll mind if I come over to watch Battlestar Galactica?
As long as you open with Shaun of the Dead or some such movie, they’ll let you watch most anything.
You’re taking this much better than expected = p
My zombie movie collection is almost as extensive as my sci-fi collection.
I have the largest collection of BSG junk in the city including every season personally signed by Six, and the one of a kind poster from the closing animated scene with the producers signed by her as well.
…sad…
Do you live in your mom’s basement? I’m doing a survey.

She lives in mine…lol
We know the truth, guys…you live in your Moms’ attic, so the basement is actually her main floor.
hahahahahhaahhhah
Hot Tub Time Machine was funny
bambi grows up and turns into a beautiful prince and everyone live happily ever after 🙂
Donnie died of a heart attack and was cremated. His ashes were carried in a Folgers can and tossed into the Pacific Ocean, at least that was the plan. The Dude still abides.
Remember the movie Jacob’s Ladder? Spoiler…he’s dead the whole time.
Just like in “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” a french short film based on the Ambrose Bierce story that was the last episode of the original Twilight Zone.
Miles, can I come over and watch movies?
Sure thing PAS. Just bring some popcorn.
