Daddy done good, eh?

Man, I remember being a kid in 1989 and standing in my local multiplex lobby, staring at the two huge cardboard stand-ups for "Batman" and "Ghostbusters 2" that were right next to each other. Before the Internet, when all a kid knew about coming movies was what he saw on a poster or in a trailer.

I feel like we're all glossing over the "dome the size of two football fields" part. They're coming to dome your town! Hide your daughters before a lunatic teen does! Don't get murdered by mysterious visitors to your town lest they sleep with your wife! Avoid large-foreheaded teens!

I believe a 4-D motion ride is the process AIM uses to make their MODOKs and MODAMs. I don't recommend participating.

You're completely right of course; everyone in this town is remarkably stupid. But I do understand the impulse to not tell anyone where the mini-Dome is. They had that weird message to keep quiet, and when they didn't, the mini-Dome moved. It's logical they'd want to not upset it and have to go look for it again. Or…

Ahhhh!! GENE!!!!!

He's an interesting one, in that we're supposed to buy into him being a villain (I think), yet he's only seem to have done good things. Of course, those things usually also involve the protection of his incriminating secrets and his naked grabs at power, you can't deny he gets results. His worst crime so far is…

Why even let them be self-aware? I mean, what is the point of creating droid life, and then enslaving it? I understand there is people-slavery in the SW universe as well, but it seems like one the lessons they would take away from that would be, "this would be better if we didn't have to worry about our slaves…

Ha ha, the slide whistle! I forgot about that. They stage this frankly remarkable car stunt which had to involve a ton of hard work, and then they put in that fucking slide whistle. It is incredible.

Sure, "A View to a Kill" is kind of awful, but it's hard to hate any movie where Christopher Walken tries to kill Roger Moore with a blimp.

That would be awesome. Mothra takes off to Japan and we never see Chester's Mill again. It's all Mothra at that point.

It's actually a stealth reboot of the Mothra franchise.

Given the egg and the ghosts, it sort of rules out "government/sinister private corporation experiment gone awry" to me, which seemed to be a good explanation. I don't know what the book says, but I'm going with aliens until there's conflicting evidence.

It could be one o' them hybrids.

I don't think it was a nuke. They called it a MOAB, and IRL those aren't nukes. So it's possible it hit the dome on the side and blew some stuff away, but the land on the other side was fine.

Wouldn't they have to be pretty powerful magnets to overcome the speed of the descending chip? Or do I not understand science (this is entirely possible)?

I don't know what it says about me that I read  @avclub-69f4d2f17fa59c05b8077f548b0c5520:disqus 's comments and hear Forest Whitaker's version of him in my brain.

Dkrtzy RRR? (Google it!)

That true story ended up being the tale of those brave robots from Gobotron, the Go-Bots.

@avclub-830dbe34b0cd199d6664b1c56394b200:disqus True. That's how we got the Thomas Riker situation. And how they cure people and stuff. And potentially give me a bigger dungus.
