Sounds like Sharon Stone's character in CATWOMAN. Bad idea, in other words.

Commented Jan 25, 2011 on FIRST DOLLAR GROSS Crew Analyzes The Oscar Nominations Live at GeekWeek

Just to clarify: it will be the whole FIRST DOLLAR GROSS team reacting live. Todd Gilchrist, Damon Houx, Amy Nicholson, and me. And if we're not on right at 5, hang in there...'tis hard to be precise that early in the a.m.

LYT's Fast Food Review: Beefy Crunch Burrito at Taco Bell

Being from the South, I am well familiar with the phrase, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” Indeed, 104-degree temperatures are easier to take in Los Angeles, CA, than they are in Chapel Hill, NC...though “easier” is a relative term for some people. I can dig heat, and in... Continue reading

LYT's Fast Food Review: Guacamole Bacon Burger and Holiday Pie

When you bite into an item called the Guacamole Bacon Burger, what two flavors would you expect to dominate? Granted, this is a bit of a trick question, because regular readers will know I order stuff like this without the bacon. But the item's a bit of a trick too,... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010 – The Last Big Blog

Has it really been almost a week since it all ended? I’m in shock. Many are the duties I have, and time passes so quickly...yet never would I neglect you, the reader. So, we have a lot left to discuss from the festival. We should do that now. HAHAHA, which... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: Marking Out For Marky Mark

My oh my, that REAR WINDOW is a classic. Hitchcock is a genius who simply does not make wrong steps. James Stewart is priceless, in his greatest role possibly ever. Cinema heaven. I didn’t actually see REAR WINDOW; not the other day at AFI Fest, or ever (I did want... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: BLUE Like You

I've been seeing a lot of my fellow film writers on Twitter complain about some of their fellow audience members at AFI Fest, and it really is interesting how it breaks down. There are two completely distinct types of movie-douchebags at this festival, and in general it may depend upon... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: Midnight in the Garden of AFI Fest

As part of AFI Fest’s unusual strategy of cramming all the movies people really want to see into two days, and being sparse the rest of the week, we got three midnight shows, and while I’m not usually a wuss about such things, when you start the day with a... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: Of Human and Mechanical RESOURCES

If I may wax Wellsian for a minute (Jeffrey, not Orson), the lack of blogging facilities at AFI Fest makes things a tad...challenging. I remember the first AFI Fest I went to full-time, in 2002...they had public-use computers all over the place. At this fest, they have four communal laptops,... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: THE KING'S and I

Oscar prognosticators have been saying that the big battle this year is likely to be THE SOCIAL NETWORK versus THE KING’S SPEECH. Last night, I finally got a look at the latter, a true-story tale of an Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) who secretly coached then-Duke of... Continue reading

LYT vs. AFI Fest 2010: Nothing's All Downsized

Upon first glance at the AFI Fest program for this year, I was inclined to wonder what the hell had happened. Didn’t this used to be the crown jewel of L.A. film festivals? Generally running two weeks, with at least four films playing at any given time? Certainly not now:... Continue reading

LYT's Video Fast Food Review: My First McDonald's McRib

Odd, but true -- for all my crap-food cred, I have never tasted a McRib until the moment this video was shot. The things I do for you, the readers. Seriously. Special thanks as always to my helpers Julia Boyd and Frances the Cat. Luke Y. Thompson is an actor,... Continue reading

I for one am delighted to see wrestling coverage come back to Geekweek, especially from an informed perspective. I could write about it like a fanboy all day, but I have no connections to how it actually works. More of this, please.

Nicolas Cage to play hero AND villain in GHOST RIDER 2?

GHOST RIDER 2 is already shaping up to be my most anticipated superhero movie of all time, BATMAN 3 be damned. CRANK maestros Neveldine and Taylor directing Nicolas Cage is a match made in the awesomest depths of Hell, and my love for this idea is so great that I've... Continue reading

The Horta and the Talosians weren't really villains. Harry Mudd is a great character, but more an annoyance than a major threat. Trelane is a character with a twist that we all already know. Possessed Gary Mitchell is the only major existential threat on that list.

LYT's Video Fast Food Review: The XXL Chalupa at Taco Bell

The challenge was laid out by the KFC Double Down. Corporate buddies Taco Bell have answered with the XXL Chalupa. Unsurprisingly, LYT has risen to this particular challenge and takes it on, below: Luke Y. Thompson is an actor, writer, and film critic living in Hollywood. Continue reading

If I'm not mistaken, The Master once beat the 12-regeneration limit by killing somebody else and stealing their body. But I don't see that a passing comment necessarily means it won;t be dealt with later. Many passing comments in the new version of the show have paid off several episodes down the line.

Promo Swag Du Jour: MONSTERS T-shirts and gasmask

When a really heavy FedEx envelope came to me the other day after three attempted deliveries, I was hoping for DVDs. I was not expecting what I got. Like a warped Christmas present from Jack Skellington, it was layers of unwrapping disturbing things. On the outside, two T-shirts for the... Continue reading

ill LYTeracy – At Long Last, The Camel Clutch

LYT Review: LIFE DURING WARTIME

The latest film by Todd Solondz is total critic-porn. I’m not sure whether or not broader audiences will embrace it, but then again, with this director, one never can be. A sequel of sorts to 1998’s HAPPINESS, LIFE DURING WARTIME similarly kicks off with an awkward restaurant date, once again... Continue reading
