We all watch far too many movies, and spend our time analyzing them. So we each watch the same movie, write our [...]

Featured quote (not written by me)
On the 1987 Burt Reynolds exploitation thriller Malone.
"Burt Reynolds is an ex-_____(moustachioed-noun) running from his past who finds just how difficult it is to retire when he runs across a small _____(place/and/or/female) controlled by _____(pony-tailed/and/or/albinoed-noun) and a family that's resisting their _____(whatever).
