The Michael Bay Transformer movies were almost unwatchable and then Bumblebee rebooted the franchise in a pretty delightful fashion. Maybe Snake Eyes will do the same for Joe.

“other people pull him in” like in the prequels? Because that didn’t happen. Marcia Lucas doesn’t edit the man anymore and hasn’t for a long, long time.

You’re assuming the OG cast wanted to have a large role in the sequels, and were physically capable of handling the rigors of leading an action trilogy. Ford participated begrudgingly. Hamill was game, but dude is in his 60s, and he’s not CGI—Crate withstanding, there’s no amount of training that will get him up to

When Pixar make Inside Out they customized the broccoli scene for different markets. In Japan, Riley hated green peppers. They also swapped out hockey for soccer in some countries. Dreamworks/Pearl easily could have had a version of that map for different countries—if they wanted to.

You know, I really feel like he and Rachel Green would have made a cute couple.

Marvel also has a thing for talent who are noted team players. That’s why we have Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk instead of Edward Norton/Don Cheadle instead of Terrance Howard as War Machine. In order for the MCU to make 22 movies that have interconnected stories and characters you need actors who understand that they

This is going to date me, but that key art looks like “Cagney and Lacey: Space Cops.”

There were people in the 80s who weren’t complete assholes. Some of them were even jocks and “hair gods.” The trick was to interact with them one on one, outside the overbearing pressure of their clique. That’s how you figured out who was a decent human. A kid like Steve might have an uncle with a “roommate” or some

It’s Spielbergian, yes, but JP is 1993 and does not conform to the 80s Easter Egg list we are compiling here. (also see El’s bright red raincoat/Schindlers List)

I don’t think she would risk her financial security for the independence. She’s realistic about what leaving Mr. Lump Wheeler would mean to her and her kids.

Stranger Things 4 needs to reference Heathers, is it too soon for Heathers? My 100% favorite Winona ever.

“Boundaries” set off my anachronism alarm. That didn’t feel like 80s language to me at all (I was 14 in 1985.)
That said, all was forgiven when I saw El’s pink cassette radio. I had that silly thing and took it with me everywhere!

I think she’s retired, not sure she’d want to wear a bathing suit in her first scene after 20+ years off screen. Maybe a Bob’s Burgers voice role would be a more comfortable welcome back—Kevin’s Mr. Fischoder.

I was ugly crying so badly my son (who was around 13 at the time) asked me if we should leave the theater. In my defense, my dad had passed a few months earlier, but still, it was my Terms of Endearment.

Inspiring a generation of Democratic Socialists and great voice work all around? Bug’s Life is underrated.

Oh, I followed the link to the map and realized the designer doesn’t know Vermont from Massachusetts. You’re not missing much.
*edited: Labeled Vermont with Ratatouille (should have been Monsters Inc.) and Massachusetts with Finding Dory (should have been Ratatouille.) I haven’t proofread the rest of the map, but

there’s a burgeoning underground queer POC punk/metal scene in Providence, RI. still pretty underground, but a lot happening. just fyi.

They didn’t do that episode, obviously. But who would be the modern-day equivalent of Sammy Davis Jr. in that scenario? A few years ago, I’d put my money on Kanye, but he’s lost his everlovin’ mind.

Dude also flew bombing missions over Nazi Germany. He’s a goddamned hero.

Just watched it last night and of the whole cast Tomei absolutely killed every line they gave her. I was skeptical, but she nailed it!
