It may suck, but I defy any child of the 80's to not scream "Saint Elmo's Fiiiiiire!" during the chorus.

If you wake up and your a roach, you might be Kafkaesque.

He's so, so punchable.

Reese was more badass in that final scene than I've seen him in a while.

The difference is self-awareness. Castle knows it makes no sense so the writers focus on the charm and chemistry of it's leads. This show, however, is completely unaware of it's ridiculousness and completely driven by it's mechanics.

I always thought that the third film was more well regarded.

I just started watching this show. It's amazing even without the backstory.

That movie is great even discounting of the schadenfredue.

I got a "I got a 'Too Close for Comfort' notification for *this*" notification for this?

Skinemax through the squiggly lines.

I'm pretty sure it was Monica (f), then Mar-Vell (m), then Phyla-Vell (f), then a skrull, and finally a kree. Scarlet Witch and Janet have also been alternate timeline Captain Marvels (I think). The chain he states really doesn't work.

Indeed. The brave decision isn't having a muslim superhero. The brave decision is making that hero a major presence in a highly publicized book.

E.T. is generally accepted as a beloved movie. If you see it when you are a child or an adult who has had children you most likely will be affected.

I'd reconsider that movie nerd group. They don't actually seem to be movie nerds.

To be fair, The Terminal is inspired by a true story. That means that someone read about a guy stuck in a terminal and decided that the basic idea would make a good movie, then wrote a script about it. It's not meant to be the story of the actual man, it's the story of a man in a similar situation.

A fine film that whiffs the ending by attempting to stick too close to the book.

You are including films he produced or executive produced and didn't direct? Executive Producers are people who just say "hey, here is some money. Shirley will handle the rest for you. I'll check in after a few months." But ok then we need to credit him for bankrolling Clint Eastwood, Barry Levinson, Joe Dante,

That video is ridiculous. It's criticizing a director for using an actor as an audience surrogate. Mr. Lee even admits a technique as old as cinema. He then takes the director to task for trusting his actors and being able to use it very, very well in many different ways.

If someone else had made The Terminal for $60 million dollars it would be praised for being the type of character driven middle budget comedy that Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to make.

See, I thought he was the weakest part of Red October, and on 30 Rock he's wonderful playing a variation on his standard role.
