Really, they were just asking for it with that title.

Yeah, but this is the reason I like the original better — you realise that the lead character isn't supposed to help her because instead of making things better, things start to go nasty bad. The lower-budget film was well enough written that it didn't need a psychic child explaining it to his mother.

The problem with Hogan's career was not his likability, it was his subsequent project choices.

Well there's Jim Jeffries currently working pretty successfully in the US, Tim Minchkin making a fortune out of Matilda, and that damned man-in-a-dog-suit comedy that was remade for US TV. But one of the problems is that a lot of the Australian sense of humour doesn't translate well. We have a ton of excellent…

Same way I keep hearing that record-scratch sound effect that almost nobody born less than 20 years ago will ever have heard in real life.

Well by the mid-80s all those unemployed Fame actors had to eat.

Agreed. It's not played for a nasty reaction in Dundee but it's still a pretty bad trope.

"$5200 for the retaining wall, add another $600 if you want the premium bricks."

Well, to be fair, I sure as hell don't value Hillary's honesty — but everyone else is even worse. I mean, really, I think it's sad that we now live in an electoral-media cycle that makes it impossible to have a politician be successful, essentially honest, and in a position to run for high office.

But she is a corrupt, power-hungry monster. If she wasn't, she wouldn't be a presidential candidate. What the press ignores is that Hillary's corrupt power-hungry nonsense is about as benign as it's possible to get in modern politics while Trump's corrupt power-hungry nonsense is about as malignant as it's possible to…

This is a good argument in theory, but it kind of falls apart when you see who Hollywood chooses to cast anyway.

Well, in the latest Avengers flick they've even gone as far as to cast Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. Because god forbid the audience's eyeballs rest on anyone with more than ten seconds screen time who isn't sexually attractive.

They've made lots of stories about midget Predators. Orphan, Home Alone, Phantom Menace…

An alien haploid better have good genes.

Well, apart from the Mongols who captured it and burnt it down, or the Tatars who controlled it but didn't burn it down so long as the tribute was paid.

Kudos…if you're the the real Mr. Greene.

Iron Man 1610. Make it happen, Marvel.

If George III had been popular and competent, there's a halfway decent chance the American colonies wouldn't have been fighting for independence.

Seconded on TGTBTW. Highly entertaining absurd action-comedy.
