You know, I never noticed until recently that farts smell bad or that water is met. But even I knew that the new Star Wars movie would be making a fuckton of money off of merchandizing.

The Pinocchio scene is much more disturbing to watch as an adult, because the only way the whole Pleasure Island scene makes sense is as a metaphor for sexual predators. The way the boys are rounded up, allowed to do "adult things" as they are groomed for something that transforms their body forever.

The WORST part about that Punky Brewster episode was that in our area, part 2 was prempted by football and they never showed it. So we just had that little clip at the end of part 1 showing all the most horrible moments in part 2—like Allen's demonic face—with no context and no resolution. And then we never found out…

Gmork was by far the scariest thing for me. Atrex dying was much more sad than scary. The statues were kind of scary too but at least tey were something that would leave you alone if you didn't go near them. But Gmork… man, that thing would hunt you and kill you, painfully.

I'm thinking you maybe didn't read the article? Because I was expecting it to be this, and had a similar reaction to you, but then I read it and saw it was actually saying something different (which I agree with). The article is basically saying that the game had some really interesting ideas but ultimately failed in…

You say that like he's actually judging the movie, and not just saying good things about it because he got huge piles of money to be in it.

Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!

Are you kidding me? It's more like

Hey we all just love J.J. Abram's style and flair.

I have to disagree. The movie is not a genre parody of sci-fi and space opera tropes. Alas, if it had really been this, it would have been a much better movie. But unfortunately the movie spends way too much time on Star Wars parody. And most of it does not work, especially the parts with Lone Star and the "good guy"…

I disagree. I defy you to say that Colonel Sanders was not funny in the "ludicrous speed" scene. In fact he was just a great straight man to Moranis's character. Mel Brooks also had some great moments as president Spaceball. But it is true that other than John Candy, there are few laughs on the "good guy" side.

I love Joan Rivers but I agree: she is not funny in this movie.

I liked the Lego Movie fine, but a modern classic to be watched by children for decades? I don't think so.

Peanuts may not be all that popular outside the US but Snoopy definitely is. If they market this as a Snoopy movie that will be enough to make a lot of people interested.

"Mitch, I sincerely hope the next thing you say to me will be some sort of a suggestion on how we can escape our current state of being trapped in this sarcophagus with angry mummies waiting outside to tear us to shreds."

I enjoyed last week's Wompler episode too. I usually enjoy it when they just don't care about consistency or recapping. I could pretty much listen to Taylor St. Claire and Lennon Parham riff at each other forever. I don't care if it makes sense, and trying to make sense of it almost never makes it more fun to listen…

I think the reason people use the term is because, although it would be enormous hubris for anyone else to call themselves that, in Michael's case he genuinely deserves it. What we came to think of as "pop music" by the 90s—a slick, synthesizer heavy, accessible mix of rock, r&b, and pretty much all other genres—was…
