I read that as 'stunning Black Lodge', which seems appropriate.

"Their Etch A Sketch reality"

South Park did it!

The same was true of the second, though. I can't even say it's a good concept badly executed, because I'm still not sure what the concept is. It's not really a parody of the eighties. It's not really a parody of cop shows. It's kind of a parody of surreal stream-of-consciousness Adult Swim humour, but it spends half

I honestly didn't mind this film. It was brainless, it had as much spiritual and intellectual nourishment as a cotton candy sandwich, but what do you expect from a film based on a cartoon about humorously modern cavemen? It ticked all the boxes it needed to and it entertained me for as long as it needed to.

Yup. Humblebrag much?

Good Night and Good Luck still works best for me. Both then and now, I felt it was particularly good at avoiding a nostalgic view of the 50s. Of all of the Best Picture nominees for that year, it's the only one I'm interested in watching again.

I had no luck convincing my high school band to call itself Courtney's Cocks. All yours if you want it.

My (Catholic) high school naively applied for the rights to Grease when I was in 11th grade. When they got the script and realised it was about a bunch of horny teenagers rather than a feel good tale of the wholesome 50s, they were genuinely shocked.

There were also some pretty weird psychedelic stuff mixed up in those Christian comics from the late 60s. I remember one where Archie's car drove into a cloud and he met three sexy women whose names were Faith, Hope and Love. Love was the most important and the sexiest, ergo it was OK for her to make out with Archie

I skipped the middle part and assumed that the main character was still a plucky animated toaster, but the bodyguard was a sentient piece of toast. It could be called Slice of Life.

Wasn't there some copyright issue that prevented them from rebooting Space Quest, hence the creation of SpaceVenture?

THERE IS NO DANA, ONLY ZOOL4NDER

It was an aspect of his personality from early on, but it didn't become the defining aspect for some time. They were still doing storylines like like "Homer envies Flanders for having an expensive, flashy pair of shoes" well into the second season, and I would argue that it wasn't until 'Homer the Heretic' in Season 4

They aren't really calling it 2oolander, are they?

"Although Flanders is technically a good person, he’s also an insufferable goody two-shoes who unintentionally attacks others with his smug self-regard, which makes Homer’s hatred of him easy to swallow most of the time."

There's a Flanders Street in my neighbourhood, and I can never pass it without thinking Flan-Ders! Flan-Ders! Flan-Ders!

Such as the mashup between Radiohead's '15 Steps' and Dave Brubeck's 'Take 5', which is pure genius.

Yep, I'm getting it, too. They must have scanned my search history and uncovered my preference for women without seams.

And also City for Conquest (1940), a bit of an underrated gem in my opinion.
