It would be a trailer for a film adaptation of Tapping the Source (the surfer noir, not the self-help book) that takes place in Cancun, and half of the plot is suddenly a neo-western. Starring Ryan Gosling, Michelle Rodriguez and Michael Biehn.

Sure you're not confusing that with Chronicles of Riddick? I really wanted to love Drive, and by all rights I probably should have, but everything about that movie just screamed "mildly adequate" to me. It was a fine movie, but with that concept and the style they were working with, it should've been so much more.

I'm going to say Kirk, but only because I prefer the original series films to the Next Generation films. I have never been able to watch a full episode of any Star Trek series without shutting it off in frustration.

If I'm going to the theater and paying for a ticket, I like to at least know what kind of movie I'm in for. If I hadn't read the plot synopsis first, it's possible I may have absolutely hated Albert Nobbs. With classics, I generally try to at least find out who made it and when; I love knowing a little about the era and social climate in which a film was produced.

Gonna have to go with talking animals. If I'm on a desert island, I would at least like to have another voice to keep me company. Unless that voice is a chipmunk, in which case I'd probably just try to drown myself.

You'd think Razhar has the advantage, since Cool Dog is also a dog, but that's exactly why Razhar wouldn't win. Cool Dog is too cool not to call a fair fight. Tokka wins by submission in the third round.

If I were teaching Film 101, I'd show 12 Angry Men, Playtime, and Alien. Right there, those three films perfectly utilize the language of cinema to achieve an entire laundry list of goals in a variety of genres. Also, they illustrate perfectly just how important aesthetic design is to a film (and howit can ruin you if you're not careful). For Animals 101, we'll watch a few episodes of Mr. Ed, then we watch Babe, then we watch Marmaduke to see how you do this sort of thing wrong. Learn from our mistakes, as it were.

My favorite dramatic farting scene has got to be in The King's Speech. He gets so worked up and nervous about his speaking that he starts farting in staccato. It's gripping. Other gassy favorites include Doctor Zhivago, Loves of a Blonde, and HG Wells' Things To Come.

I remember back when I reviewed Twilight 3, someone complained about me saying the movie offered no context for people new to the series. I don't recall the actual complaint, but I do recall they didn't really know what the word 'context' meant.

Cane Toads. Someone get me a meeting with Warners so I can pitch my animated film Citizen Cane. It'll star Owen Wilson as a cane toad namd...are you ready?...Cain.

Cool Dog. Yeah, I feel like Cool Dog could take Marmaduke in a street fight. He's just that cool.

Chipwrecked, as it turns out. Everyone looks as miserable as the viewer feels, and it's just nonsensical and weird enough that you might actually believe you imagined the whole thing during a fever dream.
