I did not come here to be insulted!

Execution is pretty good, but that is one dumb scientist. How is snatching random people from the past is a good idea?

The twist for People Are Alike is indeed good in concept, but I'd argue it loses much of it's impact the way that it's executed here. Yes, the episode has all the problems you describe, but it's worst offense is that the martians ARE so similar to humans. Why do they have zoos to look at creatures that look exactly…

You are all weirdos!

Well, they can't very well have him doing vocals, can they?

Mirror Image is really weird and the logistics don't make any sense, but that's what makes it so effective. Todd, you seem to interpret it as the B-universe people invading the world of our protagonist; I think it's more that the two universes are sort of overlapping and one flickering out in place of the other from…

I knew I'd seen him someplace before! Thanks!
May your forehead grow like the mighty oak.

I don't like Fire Walk with Me much, but I think it has the scariest Lynch scene (who could certainly fill this column all by himself). Laura slowly opening her bedroom to reveal Bob hanging out by her dresser and then, after she has ran screaming from the house, seeing Ray Wise exit the front door and having the…

Yeah, I'd say the dance scene as well. I'm not sure why Noel seems to think of it as a detail that emphasizes the humanity of these people. For me it was the point which I started to realize that I didn't really care about any of them not even the main characters (who I did care about in the first movie). Sadly, that…

I never said I'd merchandize my tits!

"Don't you know what duplicates are?"
"Sure, there's five kids up in Canada."
"Well, I wouldn't know about that. I haven't been to Canada in years."

Yeah, Rabin has them flipped around. Nerds are the intelligent ones.

Yeah, I'd count panda rape as the nadir. I may have stuck around for a bit longer, but that was episode that convinced me I just couldn't watch the show any more. As noted above, The Principal and the Pauper is actually a pretty funny episode. As the plot doesn't really change much about who the character is and how…

Agreed that the brothers are better off without the superfluous romantic subplots and musical numbers, but since these were required by the studio I find it hard to fault Jones. When not singing he seems a likable chap, and I don't think he really detracts from the films. Besides, I think he probably looks much…

Allan Jones
was actually a better straight man than Zeppo ever was. Poor Zeppo was actually supposed to be the most comically gifted amongst the brothers, and it's a pity the Paramount films never had room for a fourth comedian. Anyways, I find Jones and his romantic interests in this and A Day at the Races to be…

Not-so-great/Great
Not-so great: Ginny.
Occasionally annoying but mostly uninteresting, Ginny was such a poor love interest for Harry that all the focus on her in the later books mainly served to slow things down. Also, the insistence that she be paired up with Harry leads in part to that regrettable epilogue.

Ready Senor Beaverotti?
You're the birthday, you're the birthday, you're the birthday boy or girl!

Hot Summer!
It's an East German beach blanket musical and it is awesome. Himmlisch.

F. W. Murnau
It's hard to say how he would have adapted to using sound in his films since most of them are so expressive anyways that they barely require intertitles. I'm sure he would have still captured some beautiful images, though.

Indeed. I'm so happy I got to see this in theater. Especially since I could never fully embrace it in any shorter cut. The choppy narrative just drew too great a contrast between the astounding visuals and the naive message of the story. I have to say, though, that the extra footage smooths out all the melodrama and…
