The other would be a Whopper. Â I have to admit, this Dubai Burger King ad has won my heart. Â It would just be a cheesy tie-in, but the dead girl sells it. Â Sure it’s a little odd that Jason was hunting a cheerleader (maybe Crystal Lake reopened as a cheerleader training camp?) Â And it’s weird to see him driving, though I’ll let that go since the whole point is how late BK’s drive-thrus are open.

Here at Critical End! we recognize the importance of the fans. Hell, we’re fans ourselves! Who else but Ryan would own a piece of the MST3K film set (I’ve seen it.)? And who else but myself would own an album of songs recorded by Chevy Chase? And who else but this guy would build a Bill Paxton pinball machine? Whoa, wait…what?
Oh, crazy Bill Paxton pinball fan…will you ever learn? Perhaps not, but no matter how crazy you may think he is, consider your average TRON fan. Sure, we may all recall that nutty TRON guy from a few years back, but despite popular notion, not all TRON fans are complete losers with no girlfriends lame. Take for instance the guy who made this amazing modern trailer to the original film.
So, today your pals here at Critical End! would like to salute you, fans! Sure, some of you may live in your parents basement and smell slightly like old Cheetos, but to us…you’re family.*
"Come, Forest! We're late for our codpiece-enlargening appointment!"
When I was in high school, I did a few movie review segments for the campus close-circuit TV show. My best work was when I skewered the John Travolta travesty Battlefield Earth, calling it out for one of the worst scripts in film history.
Well, head on over to /Film for the true story of the movie’s inception, told by the screenwriter himself. Â According to J.D. Shapiro (who gave us Robin Hood: Men in Tights, so a little respect, please), he showed up at Scientology H.Q. because he heard it was a great place to meet chicks, and ended up in a meeting with Travolta by complete chance. Â An entertaining read.
