The Goonies is a good example of a film that most people enjoy if they saw it when it came out, but people who saw it as adults do not.

Counter point. I recently watch Goonies again with my teenagers and we all loved it.

An attack on The Goonies in the first paragraph? Delete this whole post.

I’m going to circle back to this comment later. If that is indeed in the movie, then they’ll delete it. Checkmate.

The Phantom Menace is a better film than The Last Jedi.

The Phantom Menace is probably about as close as any movie ever got to what George Lucas’s vision of what Star Wars was supposed to be. If you read the earliest drafts of his screenplay for the movie we now call A New Hope, the tone is much closer to TPM — a clear pastiche of Alex Raymond’s Flash Gordon comic strips…

I’m seeing this sucker Saturday morning on April 27th and fully expect the days leading up to that will be a gauntlet of avoiding massive spoilers on the internet.

Next up on io9: Why Marvel used ‘that’ font for Endgame, and what it reveals about Thanos.

Can’t do Secret Wars until we have a good Doctor Doom.

He’s not even going to be playing a character; he’ll just be playing himself. He’ll show up, crack a few jokes about how the Eternals are just rip-offs of the Greek gods and then he and his wife Emily will get swept up in a grand adventure alongside Ikaris, Sersi, and Makkari. It will be like Mom and Dad Save the…

I can’t re-read that or Cujo now that I’m a parent.

Nuh uh, my brother in law is pretty confident no one is going to see this film because everyone hates Brie Larson for being so mean to men. He told me (on a 45 minute car ride that seemed to stretch for eternity) that if it seems like it’s making money, it’s because Disney is secretly buying up all the theatre seats…

I heard they were willing to work for half.

It’s good to know a scrappy indie like this can still break through

It’s been a while since my theater going days, but one phenomena I remember was all of the “post intermission cigarette coughing” you would get at the start of Act II.

I can only think of two films that I saw that ever had an intermission. “Dr. Strangelove” and “It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world” the latter had an opus written for it’s intermission.

Totally. I considered spelling out all of the logistical issues and how people would run the risk of being spoiled—both of which would be very real issues. But the piece is more focused on how intermissions change our relationships to the films we’re watching.

Jesus, I had forgotten about Marvel’s hilarious Soviet superheroes, but you’re right, they totally need to be in this.

I hope David Harbour is playing Ursa Major.

This episode was a forced piece of illogical shit.
