Revisitamos, discutimos y analizamos la película THE BIRDCAGE con Robin Williams y de Mike Nichols (1996). Fico CangianoAlexis LeonJose MoralesLuis Angelet

Welcome back trash-heads! Our remake marathon, Once More with Feeling, continues with a look at Guy Ritchie's take on the Disney classic Aladdin. With Will Smith stepping into the big blue boots of Robin Williams, we determine how it meshes with the 90s animated classic. We talk all things adaptation, Will Smith, transnational cinema, and more. Join us now as we dance around and analyze Aladdin.

The school vibe continues with a comedy classic for the entire family - Dead Poets Society starring the late great Robin Williams. Will Seanán hate this as much as he hated the Club?!

Wait a minute... isn't this the third Aladdin movie? Wasn't there one in the middle? Return of Jafar? Well you are correct but Robin Williams isn't in that one because of a dispute between himself and Disney. Aladdin and the King of Thieves, the second direct to video sequel of the classic first movie, reprises Robin Williams in his famous role of the Genie. There's a couple of okay musical numbers but all in all its exactly what you'd expect from Disney's direct to video slop pipeline.

Send us a textIn this heartfelt episode, we head to Neverland, but this isn't just a nostalgia trip. It's a wake-up call for teachers who feel like they've become someone they don't recognize.We unpack the 1991 film Hook and its surprising resonance for burned-out educators, creative souls, and those contemplating a career transition.From the chilling moment Peter is asked, “Have you become a pirate?” to the empowering final message: “Take care of everything smaller than you,” this episode will inspire you to reclaim your spark - and build a life that gives back.

Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of the death of Robin Williams. True or False: Despite several nominations...Robin NEVER won an Oscar.

Anna Vocino Returns!Take a walk with me down Fascination Street, as I get to know even more about Anna Vocino. Anna's first appearance on the show was released on 6.13.22. I recomend going back and checking that one out, as it was A BLAST! This time around, we discuss some different stuff. We kick the show off talking about her first experience on a film set. Anna was in the classic film Dead Poets Society, where she got to hang out with the late, great Robin Williams. We then transition into her work on another Robin Williams project, this time for television. The Crazy Ones was one of Robin's last projects, so naturally I ask her about working on that with him. Anna and I then talk about a series she worked on called Free Radio, and she tells some great stories from that set as well. Then we move onto the subject of her health. Anna has some fairly unique immune related issues that she deals with on a daily basis. She is fine, but does navigate some challenges, and she is very open about dealing with those. Of course, we discuss her working with the wonderful Vinnie Tortorich and theie podcast Fitness Confidential, before we dive into her Eat Happy empire! Anna has released 3 cookbooks (a fourth to be released in October of 2026), and an ever growing product line! Eat Happy Kitchen currently offers: 4 pasta sauces (marinara, arrabbiata, puttanesca, pink crema), and 1 seasonal pasta sauce (pumpkin marinara), as well as 4 spice mixes (BBQ Dust, Taco Seasoning, Dill Ranch Seasoning, Salt / Onion Dust), and now offering 3 flavors of Crispy Crunchy Cheese Bites (Cheddar & BBQ, White Cheddar & Onion, Monterey Jack & Onion). We talk about all of these products, and where to find them. They are all available at EatHappyKitchen.com, as well as myriad grocery stores nation wide. Anna shares some behind the scenes stories about what it takes to get a product on the shelf at your local grocery store. As always, no matter what we are talking about; Anna brings the funny! Oh, and pay special attention because we decide to offer a special deal to all of the listeners! 

Episode 300! thank's so much. Emmy, Peabody, and Writers' Guild of America Award winning writer/producer Mike Scully has written many forms of comedy: animation, single-cam, multi-cam, hidden-cam, award shows, and live performance. After seven years of writing for shows you've never heard of, he joined The Simpsons writing staff as a producer in 1993. He was promoted to showrunner in 1997 for Seasons 9 thru 12 (considered the four most consecutive seasons of the show) and co-wrote and co-produced The Simpsons Movie, released in 2007. He was a consulting producer on the show until 2021 and recently wrote a new episode. Mike also served as writer/producer on the Emmy-winning Everybody Loves Raymond, as well as Parks & Recreation, starring Amy Poehler. (He also appeared on the show several times as a disgruntled citizen asking stupid questions at town meetings.) He was a writer/producer on the critically acclaimed NBC series “The Carmichael Show” starring comedian Jerrod Carmichael. He co-created (with wife Julie Thacker-Scully & Amy Poehler) the animated Fox/Hulu show Duncanville starring Poehler, Ty Burrell, and Rashida Jones, which ran three seasons. He also co-created some quickly cancelled shows such as “The Pitts”, “Complete Savages”, and an animated version of Napoleon Dynamite.” He and Julie wrote the pilot for the ABC/Hulu show Shifting Gears. He is a Consulting Producer on the upcoming second season of the Netflix series, A Man On The Inside starring Ted Danson. He has written jokes for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler when they hosted the Golden Globes and for their current live Restless Leg tour. In 1998, he organized writing staffs of all the Fox animated shows to win Writers Guild of America union coverage for the writers, who had previously been underpaid and without healthcare and pension contributions, unlike their live action counterparts. He has five daughters who provide him a never-ending financial reason to keep working. We chat about the Simpsons and being a show runner, leadership style and empowerment, moving to LA, his many ‘odd' jobs, cancelled shows and rejection, false promises, Everybody loves Raymond, creating shows, art vs the business, doing comedy after Robin Williams, point of view, working on Parks and Recreation, moving forward plus much more!

August 11th marks eleven years since the world lost Robin Williams, and the possibility of more performances in the future. But the legacy he left is a rich and diverse one. We do our best to touch on as much as we can, touching on all the fan favorites and also many underappreciated gems that time seems to have lost. We discuss his unique comedy, his knack for drama, and his very convincing villain run. And yes, Jake has finally watched Death to Smoochy. We watched a lot of new Robin Williams movies, but before that, Dustin shares spoiler-free first impressions of Fantastic Four: First Steps and Final Destination: Bloodlines. Jake gives a summary of two shows: Your Friends & Neighbors and Untamed. Then we both watched Until Dawn and of course Happy Gilmore 2.Have thoughts about the episode?

This week we tackle the 1987 Comedy / Drama GOOD MORNING VIETNAM! The film, directed by Barry Levinson, stars Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer, a real-life Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS) DJ stationed in Saigon during the Vietnam War. Cronauer's irreverent humor and unconventional approach to radio broadcasting made him immensely popular with the troops but created friction with his superiors. The film is celebrated for its blend of humor, drama, and social commentary, offering a unique perspective on the Vietnam War through the lens of radio broadcasting.

Today's WKXL NH Unscripted guest was celebrity dwarf comedian Brad Williams! Calling in from CA Brad wanted to talk about his upcoming shows Aug. 8th at the Capitol Center for the Arts. His press release says it all: ”Pound for pound, Williams is one of the funniest comedian in the country right now and has taken the comedy world by storm with sold out concerts across the U.S. and Australia along with numerous comedy specials with his most recent being Starfish. In September, Brad will be seen in the movie Spinal Tap II: The End Continues and if this is not enough, there is also the entrepreneurial side to Brad – he has just come out with a hot sauce called DEATH BY DWARF. His high energy live performances frequently produce standing ovations from audience members; which prompted the late Robin Williams to call him “Prozac with a head.”

"Chewing gum helps me think!" "Sweetie, you're wasting your gum." Robin Williams and Nathan Lane play a gay couple who own and run a nightclub in Palm Beach Florida when their son's fiance's conservative parents (Gene Hackman & Dianne Wiest) decide to drive down to visit. An instant classic with great laughs and a joyful message of love.

Welcome to The First Ones, an Our POoRCHoices podcast.  On this series Sarcastro picks a show from yesteryear and then rallies some (or all) of the fellas to join him in recapping just the first episode of said show while dissecting it and determining if it's a show that would fly in today's entertainment landscape. This month in the season 1 finale of The First Ones, Sarcastro is joined by Queen Mel who has become part of the POoRCHoices family and the official co-host of the show moving foward.  Fatty and Banky also sat in on the episode to talk about Mork & Mindy from 1978, based on a cameo character on another Garry Marshall show, Happy Days, and helped to launch the career of Robin Williams and co-starred Pam Dawber.   Theme song performed and interpreted by Sarcastro with an assist from Banky.

New episode out now! We watched the 1991 neo-noir film Dead Again, directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh and also featuring Emma Thompson, Derek Jacobi, and Andy Garcia. We wonder how we've never heard of this film because of the stacked cast, discuss how the personal history of Branagh and Thompson may have colored our perception of the film, get frustrated at the male ego and the need to be a hero, and debate how the movie would have felt with different actors. We discuss the concept of past lives and fate and how they were utilized in the story, think the old age makeup was terrible, have major issues with romancing an amnesiac, and debate the success of what the movie was trying to do. Katy pitches a TV show, Carrie got a warm heart hug while watching, Maddy wants to be in a weird old elevator, and Mack is not on Blue's Clues. We also talk about where we've seen the filming locations before, think the accents are not great, get annoyed at water, and mention Buffy multiple times. Listen to hear more about soulmates, Robin Williams, claddagh ring traditions, Georgia O'Keeffe, pronouncing “Jacobi” wrong, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Enjoy!TW: Infidelity, drug use, amnesia consent issues, fatphobia, domestic violence, animal carcass mention

This week on NAFC, the crew kicks things off with a nostalgic deep dive into old-school DOS games—Test Drive, Doom, Wolfenstein, and other pixelated chaos from a simpler, more keyboard-smashing time. Things take a sudden left turn as everyone starts wildly guessing who's on the Epstein list. It's unhinged, it's reckless, and it's very on-brand. Gibbs and Zea catch Happy Gilmore 2 (yes, that exists) and the visually wild Green Snake, while Gibbs also gives his take on A24's Warfare. Izzy continues his anime crawl with Witch Watch and the ever-traumatizing Takopi's Original Sin. We also finally get Zea's long-awaited score for Fermat's Room, just moments before she straight-up falls asleep mid-recording. Then it's on to our first review for the new theme Against Type with One Hour Photo (2002)—Robin Williams gets creepy, and the gang is here for it. Support us on Patreon!

This week in the Labyrinth, we're taking aim at Happy Gilmore 2—and not just to see if we still "got it." We're talking Easter Eggs, hilarious cameos, and what Netflix got right (and wrong) in their sequel to the cult favorite. Then it's back to South Park, which somehow manages to roast everyone, from liberals to Lucifer himself. We also say goodbye to three cultural icons:

The multi-talented Eric Roberts has amassed over seven hundred acting credits thanks to a career than spans close to five decades. Eric joins me to chat about his memoir Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far, which highlights his long-lasting career, as well as his very public battle with substance abuse. Eric tells me why he considered Oscar-winner Robin Williams an “older brother,” who he wants to share the screen with again, and that apology-heard-around-the-world and whether he's heard a response yet.

Revisitamos, analizamos y discutimos la película THE FISHER KING (1991) con Robin Williams y del director Terry Gilliam.

Sony made a sequel to Jumanji, that sad Robin Williams movie from the ‘90s, 22 years later? And it made a billion dollars? And everyone liked it??   It's true. And as a result, every time a movie studio makes a questionable legacy sequel this is why. They're telling themselves: “It worked with Jumanji.” It's why Disney is putting out a Tron movie this year.   Well, the thing is, the movie needs to be good! And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle IS good. It's a very likable and winning comedy. It's just kind of a lackluster blockbuster.   But what a fun cast! The Rock is once again able to have fun playing a guy who feels very awkward looking like The Rock. Kevin Hart is very funny, Karen Gillan kicks ass, and Jack Black gives maybe his best ever performance. Nick Jonas is also here.   And this movie has us asking the big questions. What makes you you and me me? Are our personalities completely predetermined? Do NPCs have a right to privacy? If you're popular in high school, will you be popular for the rest of your life? And are dicks just the tits of the man?   There's also an unexpected 10-minute Blade Runner digression.   The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!   Subscribe to our Patreon, Load Bearing Beams: Collector's Edition for $5 a month to get two extra episodes! patreon.com/loadbearingbeams    Time stamps: 00:02:45 — Our personal histories with Jumanji and its haphazard franchise 00:15:25 — History segment: Jumanji the book by Chris Van Allsburg; the original Joe Johnston movie starring Robin Williams; and the long path to the 2017 sequel directed by Jake Kasdan 00:33:00 — In-depth movie discussion 01:43:30 — Final thoughts and star ratings   Sources: “How Producer Matt Tolmach & Sony Revived The ‘Jumanji' Franchise 22 Years After The Original” by Anthony D'Alessandro | Deadline (2017) - https://bit.ly/472moSn  “Jumanji Overtakes Spider-Man as Sony's Biggest Domestic Box Office Release Ever” by Michael Domanico | IGN (2018) - https://bit.ly/4l5htUm    Artwork by Laci Roth.   Music by Rural Route Nine.

On this heartfelt installment of Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by Ryan Luis Rodriguez (One Track Mind, Reels of Justice) to discuss the powerful documentary Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story. We reflect on Reeve's legacy as both a performer and a real-life hero, unpack the emotional depth of the film, and celebrate the enduring impact of the Man of Steel. #ChristopherReeve #Superman #SuperManDocumentary #MenOfSteelPod #ReelsOfJustice #OneTrackMind Find Ryan at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/one-track-mind-with-ryan-luis-rodriguez/id1431611476 and https://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Overview Episode 150 of the Men of Steel podcast celebrates hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson's significant milestone, with guest Ryan Luis Rodriguez joining in the discussion. Ryan Luis Rodriguez boasts a 4-0 record on the Reels of Justice podcast, with an upcoming Frozen 2 prosecution case highlighting his expertise. The hosts shared personal memories of the impact of Christopher Reeve's 1995 horseback riding accident, shaping their childhood experiences at ages 9 and 11. A well-edited documentary chronicling Reeve's life compiles 40 years of footage, avoiding melodrama while effectively communicating emotional depth. Christopher Reeve's casting as Superman faced doubts; his physical presence and several life factors contributed to his iconic portrayal of the character. The documentary discusses the deep emotional bond between Reeve and Robin Williams, revealing their supportive friendship nurtured during their Juilliard days. Following Reeve's accident, Dana Reeve emerged as a dedicated caregiver, transforming their tragedy into advocacy for disability rights and research funding. The podcast notes Reeve's advocacy for stem cell research and his collaboration with John Kerry, which marked him as a significant political figure in this area. Reeve's legacy is sustained through the Christopher Reeve Foundation, which continues to advance research funding for spinal injury treatment.

I just may, whaddya say? Comic-Con came and went this year, and maybe because the MCU and DCU were so muted, but there were still some good announcements. Xbox says game pass revenue is up, so is it profitable? Wolfenstein is heading to TV, and EA says no to $80. Air Bud is returning and I have serious questions, South Park takes time in its return, Star Trek goes all in on Comic Con, plus reviews of Happy Gilmore 2 and Fantastic Four!

Holy Multimedia Event, Batman!Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell with special guests Andy Nelson and Kyle Olson as they dive deep into Tim Burton's groundbreaking Batman (1989)—recorded live at the 2025 Phoenix Fan Fusion! This wasn't just a movie—it was a cultural phenomenon that changed everything we thought we knew about comic book adaptations.Michael Keaton's Controversial Casting & PerformanceThe hosts discuss the massive fan backlash when Michael Keaton was cast as the Dark Knight, fresh off his comedic role in Beetlejuice. Thousands of angry letters poured in, but Keaton proved everyone wrong with his brooding, murderous take on Batman that shocked audiences expecting the campy 1960s TV version.Jack Nicholson's Iconic JokerFrom his pre-accident mob boss persona to his chemical-scarred transformation, Nicholson's Joker became the gold standard for Batman villains. The podcast explores his elaborate makeup process, brilliant branding schemes, and surprisingly sympathetic balloon scene that made audiences feel bad for Gotham's Clown Prince of Crime.Tim Burton's Dark Gothic VisionBurton created a Gotham City so grimy and noir it felt like 1970s New York at its worst. The hosts praise the film's revolutionary approach to superhero storytelling—taking the genre seriously for the first time since Superman while establishing the template for modern comic book movies.Other Topics Covered:• The film's massive $411 million box office success and cultural impact• Batman's surprisingly murderous methods compared to modern interpretations• The practical challenges of the original Batsuit (couldn't turn his head!)• Prince's soundtrack and the unprecedented multimedia marketing blitz• Behind-the-scenes studio mandates including the bell tower finale• Robin Williams casting controversy and Hollywood politics• Vicki Vale's problematic romance subplot and 80s dating culture• The film's influence on superhero movie merchandising• Comparing different Batman actors across generationsFinal VerdictAll four hosts give Burton's Batman a solid 8 out of 10, praising its entertainment value, groundbreaking tone, and lasting influence while acknowledging some dated elements. This episode proves why Batman (1989) remains the definitive Dark Knight for an entire generation of fans.Subscribe to The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast for more deep dives into the decade's greatest films! ---Learn more about supporting this podcast by becoming a member.

From growing up in Staten Island with no viable connections to the film industry… to teaching himself how to write scripts armed with only a copy of Syd Field's book SCREENPLAY… to briefly attending NYU film school where he made a friend with a means to securing some financing… to making his first independent film RED which lead to a student Academy Award… to how his script for JACK (co-written with Gary Nadeau) lead to an industry bidding war… to working with cinematic icon Francis Ford Coppola and the brilliant Robin Williams on the project… to writing films like THE NEGOTIATOR, the remake of ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 and SKINWALKERS before getting the opportunity to direct his screenplay for LITTLE NEW YORK… to creating the worldwide blockbuster franchise THE PURGE and why he and his producing partner Sébastien K. Lemercier have continued to shaped the franchise through five (soon to be SIX) films… to how visiting family members in elder care facilities lead to the idea for THE HOME… to the casting of SNL alum Pete Davidson and the great John Glover in leading roles of the film… to what it was like shooting a film with a cast of elderly people during the tail end of COVID…to learning that every writer needs a “Mad Hungarian” and tons of other anecdotes he's learned throughout his career… this honest conversation about the path of becoming a filmmaker is one that every artist can benefit from.

For our final episode in this summer's Drive-In series, we review the film, "Hook," a cinematic endeavor released in 1991, which features the esteemed talents of Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. We engage in a critical discourse regarding the film's unjust placement on the list of poorly rated movies, as evidenced by its subpar score on Rotten Tomatoes. Our examination delves into the narrative elements, character arcs, and thematic undercurrents that contribute to the film's enduring appeal, particularly in relation to the themes of nostalgia, familial bonds, and the importance of childlike wonder. As we explore our personal connections to the film, we articulate our perspectives on its merits and shortcomings, striving to ascertain whether its critical reception aligns with our own sentiments. Ultimately, we invite listeners to reflect on their interpretations of "Hook," as we navigate the complexities of nostalgia and cinematic critique in our discussion.The dialogue centers around the cinematic exploration of 'Hook,' a film that presents a reimagined narrative of Peter Pan, now portrayed as an adult grappling with the responsibilities of life. The hosts express their disbelief at the film's low Rotten Tomatoes rating, which they categorize as a profound injustice against a film that resonates deeply with themes of nostalgia and the complexities of adulthood. Their discussion unveils the intricate layers of the plot, which follows Peter's journey from a work-obsessed lawyer back to the world of Neverland, where he confronts the infamous Captain Hook, a character brought to life by the talented Dustin Hoffman.Throughout the podcast, the hosts engage in a reflective analysis of the film's thematic elements, particularly the dichotomy between childhood innocence and adult responsibilities. They underscore the importance of imagination and the loss of one's youthful spirit, positing that these concepts are pivotal to the film's narrative. The hosts also critique certain aspects of the film, such as its pacing and length, suggesting that a more concise structure could enhance its overall impact, yet they remain steadfast in their admiration for its emotional depth.In wrapping up their discourse, the hosts invite listeners to reassess 'Hook' not merely through the lens of critical reviews but as a profound exploration of the human experience. They emphasize the film's ability to evoke powerful emotions and provoke thought, ultimately urging audiences to embrace its messages about family, adventure, and the enduring power of imagination.Takeaways: The film 'Hook' explores the theme of rediscovering one's childhood and the importance of imagination, as Peter Pan learns to reconnect with his inner child. Critics have often dismissed 'Hook' as a failure, yet the film resonates deeply with audiences who appreciate its nostalgic value and emotional depth. The portrayal of Captain Hook in 'Hook' adds complexity to the character, showcasing his desire for revenge and reclamation of honor, rather than presenting him as a one-dimensional villain. Despite its low Rotten Tomatoes score, 'Hook' features strong performances, particularly by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman, contributing to its enduring appeal and cultural significance. .We discuss all this and more in this one!

Sermon Title - Dead Poet's Society Scripture - Hebrews 12:1-2   On the first day of class at a stuffy New England prep school, English teacher John Keating (played by Robin Williams) shocks his students with unorthodox methods and ideas. The most radical of which might be the simple phrase “Carpe Diem.” He shows them that by listening to the voices of the past, we can gain true appreciation for the lives we are living now and be encouraged to follow our dreams and seize the day.

I 1995 bhí an dlí nua do cholscaradh chun a bheith cuirtha siar I gcóir 4 bhliain. I 1972 bhí fáiltiú iontach in Inis don Easpag nua Protastúnach. I 1995 cheannaigh duine óstán Old Ground do 1.6 milliúin punt. Sin Donny Osmond le Puppy Love – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1972. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1977 in ainneoin na agóid, chan The Sex Pistols ar Top Of The Pops sa Bhreatain agus rinne siad beolbheachtaigh. Chan siad a tríú hamhrán Pretty Vacant. Chuaigh an t-amhrán chuig uimhir a seacht sna cairteacha de bharr. I 1994 chan Oasis I Meiriceá don chéad uair agus bhí siad páirteach den New Music Seminar ag Wetlands I Nua Eabhrac. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh amhránaí Paloma Faith sa Bhreatain I 1981 agus rugadh aisteoir Robin Williams I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1951 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 21st of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: the euro bank lended Ireland £30million. 1995: New divorce law was to insist on 4 year delay. 1972: Ennis gave protestant bishop a civic welcome. 1995: the old ground was bought £1.6m. That was Donny Osmond with Puppy Love – the biggest song on this day in 1972 Onto music news on this day In 1977 Despite protests, The Sex Pistols made their first appearance on the UK music show Top Of The Pops where they lip-synched to their third single, 'Pretty Vacant'. The performance helped push the song up the charts to No.7. 1994 Oasis played their first ever American show as part of the New Music Seminar at Wetlands in New York City. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – singer Paloma Faith was born in London in 1981 and actor Robin Williams was born in America on this day in 1951 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Robin Williams' manic mind moved at such a breakneck speed that cocaine had the opposite effect than it had on most other people: it slowed him down. Robin's primary addiction, however, wasn't cocaine. He was addicted to the dopamine rush of being on a stage, where he could let his mind run wild with free association, and be rewarded with uproarious laughter. He was addicted to proving himself as a dramatic actor, even if that meant attempting to trigger his own mental breakdown by running in place for hours. And when he died tragically at the age of 63, the cause of his death was surprisingly not what anyone suspected. It still isn't. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide.

What's better than one Robin Williams movie? Two, right? WRONG. Our return to New Hampshire was a two-for-none deal where 'The World According To Garp' frustrated us and then 'The Rules of Attraction' left a bad taste in our mouths... you could say it left us In The Mouth of Madness - which is what we should have just watched twice, instead.
