The Republicans were challenging the results, saying there was no way it wasn’t “Proud to be an American”.

I would give my soul (well, someone’s soul, and my $15 for a ticket) for a Warlord movie, for the fan-rage theories about the bullet count alone.

Ah yes, leadership by committee, the business culture answer by those who’ve never had to lead a damn thing. Should go well.

Father Christmas/Santa Claus/Saint Nick/various other aliases is in Lion, Witch... for half a second; calling him the hero is revisionism at its most Republican. Just admit Die Hard is a Christmas movie and move on.

“Bad Boys” has its moments, “Bad Boys II” is utter garbage. Are they just trying to bump up the average? No one has been clamoring for this. And while Joey Pants is always a welcome presence, it’s not like he was a key figure in the last two, just the cliched harried supervisor of our heroes. Could Hollywood stop with…

That first series of Shang-Chi comics in the 70s was awesome, and grade school me read every last one that my uncles had; kung-fu asian James Bond warrior monk in the MCU should tick the majority of the boxes. I support this. And will go watch Enter the Dragon some more.

Chris Evans eats babies; Tom Hanks keeps WWII vets in his basement for punching bags. I think John Oliver is still okay, other than the Sailor Moon fetish.

There aren’t any death scenes. It might be a little over the head of a 3 year old.

Re: Megamind. I had hated most Dreamworks movies (Shrek 2 causes cancer), and I was home on leave visiting my sister’s family when my brother-in-law asked me if I had seen it; I said no. So he threw in the disc and showed me the scene towards the end where Megamind makes his entrance and saves Roxy to “Welcome to the…

I myself discussed the appeal of various physical attributes of some of Hollywood’s leading ladies with my crew over the comms system in my MRAP with 2 reporters from Stars and Stripes in the back listening in. Those dudes were cool about it. 

“they aren’t primarily about the redemption, joy and gifts of the holiday season”

I remember when this came out and thinking “live action Disney”? That’s probably not going to go well. And it is SO good, for all the reasons Caroline listed. Seriously, if the “That’s How You Know” sequence doesn’t max out your happy-meter, have someone wake you up from your turkey coma.

I’m thankful that the vast majority of my working career was in the military: there are no “customers”, and at least the assholes are the assholes you know. Getting shot at is secondary.

As a Star Wars fan, I have to say that the new trilogy has pretty much punted. The movies haven’t stunk up the place like the prequels, but it’s been: much ado about Rey’s parentage, with no satisfying answer; a retread of the Rebellion/Empire dynamic, just not as good; and Finn’s story getting shunted to the side in…

In football you only have to have tactical success; she defeated Saddam and the Taliban, all that insurgency afterwards doesn’t translate to pro sports. And given that she can ignore human suffering, she should be able to block out Browns fans’ cries of woe quite easily.

So, you’ve never been to Louisiana?

It’d be a good in, since most of the other characters aren’t that audience friendly,but I’m not sure if a character who changes his physical form quicker than Doctor Who on coke would hold viewer loyalty.

I vote for the timeline where he live-streams himself shredding the sixteen pages he actually has complete.

But, but, you can have a different lead for every episode of the Croyd Crenshaw/Sleeper series! Go very adult for the Fortunato series! (We’re talking pimp with magic powers, people, like Dolemite and Doctor Strange had a baby!) And the cutesy Kid Dinosaur hour for the kiddies!

The first three books are really good, and then they start going downhill, fast.
