Culture Warrior: Don’t Call Him Shirley
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on November 30, 2010 | Comments (2)Had Leslie Nielsen never been cast in Airplane!, he still would have had a decent working career. He certainly never would have gone down as one of the great entertainers, but the man would have had work. After all, he did have a few noticeable (if not entirely notable) dramatic roles in genre fare ranging from Forbidden Planet (1956) to Prom Night (1980, the same year as Airplane!). But Nielsen did co-star in Airplane!, delivering one immortal line after another, which later catapulted his persona into legendary synonymy with contemporary cinematic parody. Jim Abrahams and the Zucker brothers may have been the minds behind what exactly the movie parody came to be, but Nielsen was undoubtedly the face and the voice. There is a reason that Leslie Nielsen happened.

The Best of the Rejects: April 12
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 12, 2008 | Be the First To CommentProm Night is infinitely better than the original (partly because it doesn’t feature a ten minute disco segment in the middle). Sure, it loads up with cliches and has more fake jump moments than actual scares, but considering the target market is horny teenage boys trying to get a rise out of their dates, this is understandable.
Well, this version of Prom Night is PG-13, so you can be assured there’s no nudity or graphic sex. And that sucks. So the next best thing is to bring a date and both get drunk so you can make some nudity and graphic sex of your own. And the good news is that the more you drink, the more you date will start to look like Brittany Snow.

Ten Holidays That Deserve Their Own Slasher Flick
Features By Kevin Carr on April 10, 2008 | Comments (15)There is no more creativity in Hollywood any more, is there? At least not in the slasher film market. They haven’t just remade the classics. They’re remaking the crap too. So, Hollywood, my present to you: A list of log lines for potential slasher movies based on either holidays other notable dates important to high school kids.
Well the remake of Prom Night is on the way, so I figured it would be fun for everyone to relive it. Maybe make it a party? I know I write a lot about parties and drinking, but then again, I am your Hollywood-based Movie Style Guy.
One of the first things out of someone’s mouth when it comes to a remake is “But the original is a classic!” No. Often times they’re not. They suck just as bad. Or worse.
