I've been naming Eddie as my favorite host of MST3K for years.

Charlie Chan: So logically, the thief can only be-
Suspect #1: Wait, you have a car that can turn into any other sort of vehicle. Do you really want to argue we're in a universe where logic reigns?
Charlie Chan:…
Suspect #2: And what the hell is with your kids being in a band together? You know how creepy that is? Look…
Obviously he was being ironic about it. But the only person who makes that joke is someone who thinks it's true. I won't dissect the frog as Mark Twain put it, but the joke brings the attention of the audience to Harmon's intelligence. We're suppose to say, "Wait! Harmon is a genius!"
Nothing on Mike's terrible lie to the donors and then blurting out the true embarrassing story?
"Unemployed ice-cream truck driver" is really just the polite way of saying "professional crazy person."
What I hated about the Choose Your Own Adventure series was that the two options given were always the worst two possible options in the given situation. It was always "charge the gunman" OR " insult the gunman's mother for being fat." It was an insult to the reader's imagination and ability not to get shot.
I suppose Michael McKean is not an actor known for disappearing into a role but I was positively shocked to find out David St. Hubbins was Mr. Green.
So this isn't a biting satire about the modern America jobs market, where two desperate, unemployed, middle-age men with obsolete skillsets must take a non-paid internship, competing against many other qualified candidates, in the pathetic belief they might just get a job out of it?
I'm not a follower of musicals, but aren't Morse and Robert Preston from The Music Man the ONLY two who successfully reprised their Broadway roles in Hollywood?
From the trailers, it looks like they use actual magic or at least super-science which is Hollywood-speak for magic. I don't think they understand how less interesting stage magicians are if they had actual powers. I mean, I rather watch a movie about wizard stock brokers or sorcerer lawyers. Becoming Houdini-lite is…
I can't wait to read another dude defend this dude's movie as a feminist empowerment story. (And I use "dude" in the technical sense of male bro-ish geek.)
Spoilers- So like, wouldn't it made a million times more sense at the end for The Rock to say, "I switched briefcases. I knew the only way to flush the mole out (The Rock knowing there was a mole because he is The Rock) was pretending to hand the MacGuffin over to the villain. Do you seriously think I would risk…
I'm now imagining Tony Danza as the dad of every character JGL has ever played.
That are few places where I think a Hollywood Producer can approve on a classic French movie but Wages of Fear could have used someone who understood pacing. As Dowd correctly points out, the beginning is rather sluggish. The movie is a thriller about what man is willing to do in desperate situations to get around…
If the President really did handout pardons to super-criminals capture other super-criminals… well, we wouldn't be safer but the news would be a lot cooler.
I finally saw Swingers a few weeks ago. There are a lot of actors who make their living playing variations on the same character but that doesn't mean that some of the variations aren't great. John Wayne might have always played John Wayne, but there are some good John Wayne movies.
"One more nitpick: I realize “fourth dimensional portal” isn’t
exactly an inviting phrase, but it’s odd how neither Chris nor Ruth make
much effort to follow after their daughter until the end. And even
then, Chris doesn’t make a conscious choice to go inside, but rather
falls through and makes the best of a bad…
After reading Joel Keller here, I now sorta see Stripes as the comedic version of Full Metal Jacket.
While Season 2 is the crowning achievement of The Venture Bros (Though I'm hoping Season 5 can be even better.) and is the bridge for the goofball 1st season to the Ventureverse-tastic 3rd and 4th seasons; Season 1 is still good. Just good in a different way. Looking through the episode list, every episode brings back…
I'm not sure if I prefer "All roads lead to Munich" or "In the land of the Truth, my friend, the man with one fact is king."
