A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, but you do. It's eating you up inside. You want to Google it, you want to go on YouTube and experience it in all its glory. Because, seriously, how bad could it be? HOW BAD COULD IT BE?

I think that list is vaguely trollish given that they haven't seen several of the movies and also don't seem to know what utopian means. But I also think you want to see The Terror of Tiny Town, or at least see enough to know what it is. It is an important piece of cinema history! And also a great* thing to give people when playing charades**.

** ...Do people play charades any more?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Does "Baba O'Reily" answer your question?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
playing devil's advocate, aren't most lists of this type trollish?

To some extent. But when there are thoughtful reasons it can still be interesting to read or discuss. When the explanation for several items is "I haven't seen it but it sounds dumb," I guess I feel like I've already spent more time on that list than the author did..

I loved Once Upon A Time In Mexico.
Indeed. And the guy said he never saw it.
Not enough Selma, but I was psyched they let Mickey Rourke bring one of his dogs on the movie. And let Johnny Depp do pretty much what he wanted on a few days of shooting.
