License to Kill is the best James Bond movie. By far. And it’s not even close. It’s not the most fun, to be sure, that’s completely subjective and not all that close either[i], but it brilliantly captures the essence of the literary character to the greatest degree, and that essence, boiled down to its most […]

The Greatest Lines in B-Movie History – THEY LIVE
July 13th, 2012 Geoffrey Geib The line of dialogue almost pales in comparison when brought to light against the backdrop of the absurd fight sequence between Rowdy Roddy Piper and Keith David, as the former tries to force the latter to put on a pair of sunglasses in a last-ditch effort to save the world from evil aliens. I swear […]
The Greatest Lines in B-Movie History – I COME IN PEACE
July 9th, 2012 Geoffrey Geib Dolph Lundgren is a pretty good actor, a fact hidden in a dozen straight-to-DVD releases where unconvincing models are blown up. Wait – just to be clear – my intention here was to put the image of model cities or trains exploding in your mind, but if your thoughts went to tall, skinny women with […]

March 31st, 2012 Geoffrey Geib One of the many debates that rage amongst those of us who have way too much time on our hands[1] is which Joss Whedon show is the best. It can’t be Dollhouse, because it clearly isn’t Dollhouse. It can’t be Firefly, though this is arguably only because the sample size is too small[2]. So it […]
Part Three of Can Any Show Survive Jumping the Shark?
February 24th, 2012 Geoffrey Geib The six-month dating plan. This phrase should be its own pop-culture phenomenon right alongside jumping the shark, as Aaron Sorkin kicked off the second season of his superb half-hour dramedy about sports that wasn’t really about sports at all with a storyline that thirteen years later still makes me shake my head in wonder.[1]
Part Two of Can Any Show Survive Jumping the Shark?
January 21st, 2012 Geoffrey Geib Friday Night Lights had two small weaknesses throughout the course of its five-year run. The first was a tendency to devolve into melodrama and the other was its somewhat understandable yet pathological need to end nearly every episode with an improbable last minute victory for the good guys.
