Since I watched it yesterday and my memory is still vivid, here are some reasons why Die Hard is an awesome action film:

I'll admit that Metropolis bored me the first time I viewed it, which was a few years ago. I absolutely want to check it out again, though. At the very least I could appreciate its technical scope...

I'm in the rare minority that believes A New Hope > Empire Strikes Back, though I should note that this is very, very subjective –– I acknowledge that Empire is more gritty, cinematic, and has an...

Interesting. Though I suppose in theory an influx of new members should include those who aren't yet cinephiles, balancing out the sophisticating tastes of veteran MoFos. If only we had some kind of...

Curious what you mean by a demographic shift. Are you suggesting that new MoFo members skew younger, so are less likely to vote for Star Wars?

8 1/2 is one of my favorite films of all-time, possibly top ten. Where do I even begin? This film is a nightmare, hallucination, and blissful dream all at once. It's a film about filmmaking, yes, but...
