This, to me is Loose Canon at it's best, equal parts education, dry humor and breezy well edited pace.

2016-02-18 05:31:43 +0000 UTCThe most shocking thing to me in that entire video was that Rocky Horror Picture Show was the #2 movie of 1975. I thought it was some cult film no one saw!

2016-02-18 02:20:42 +0000 UTCI always think of the quote from MovieBob about "The King's Speech": "It's not meant to be enjoyed, or even watched. It's made for one purpose, and that's to catch Oscars." I feel like a lot of these films aren't even "bad" or "prententious", they're just so thoroughly by-the-numbers they are the equivalent of Summer Blockbusters for people who distinguish themselves as "smart" :/ I *want* to like these films, but mannnn
