I watched that movie not too long ago…it holds up astonishingly well. The sequels don't at all, but that first one is magic.

Hand. Over. The. Turtles.

To further the counterpoint: Nasim Pedrad is super funny and this exchange is pure gold:

It really was incredible how well Megan Fox worked on the show. I figured she'd be kinda lousy and they'd mostly push her to the periphery, but damn if she didn't fit right in and do a great job.

Yeah, give it another shot. They get the whole "adorkable" thing out of their system early, and then it becomes a really good ensemble comedy. Even when they end up doing kinda lame plots, the show cruises along just on the strength of the writing and the performances.

Winston was kinda "meh" at first, but once the writers decided that Winston was gonna be a full-on fuckin' weirdo, he really took off. Also: Lamorne Morris is hilarious.

Sitcom pilots don't tend to be very good, but I must say, this show had a good one.

But then the Average Joe Band saved the day!

And he was the subway thug on Seinfeld!

Those were the prevailing attitudes at my school, too, so I can only assume they were the correct attitudes.

Fact: Joe Flaherty is great.

No risk, no reward.

Oh my god, Shoot 'Em Up. What an unexpectedly glorious flick. So much ridiculousness, Paul Giamatti treating the scenery like cud, hilarious gunplay…just an incredibly entertaining movie.

Yeah, it was the film grain that made it look like a weird insert shot to me (not that I could've articulated this back when I first saw it, of course). But even then, I guess the "hold on, that's not right" reaction is in line with what the scene's trying to evoke, anyway.

The Terminator is stripped to the waist eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!

Or a horror sequel that throws up its hands and gives in to the ridiculousness of it (Friday the 13th, Part VI).

I gave Red Dawn two "this is awesome!"s and a "Wolverines!" as a youngster. But even by the time I was a teenager, I realized how paranoid and crazy and hilariously dumb it is. I wouldn't go so far as to call it compelling, but its zaniness is enough to make me stop and watch when it's on TV…but only for one segment.…

I am sick of having my mental condition called into question!

If I had a crapload of money, I'd open up one of these. Something tells me the economics of the movie industry make it nigh impossible to run such a theater these days, but man, would it be great to have a proper second-run venue.

This anecdote made me angry.
