3,720 to 1?

The PR spin doesn't make much sense. 1) I don't ever recall a movie being pushed back that far because it was too good to share earlier. 2) This is a terrible summer for blockbuster movies, so there's not much competition. 3) September is not the summer. 4) June 2017 is far more crowded in terms of popcorn fare.

"Mary Poppins! You look so different."

Or the much superior Siamese stage adaptation: Small House of Uncle Thomas

1) It's a movie. There's no way John McClane should be able to do 90% of
the shit he does in Die Hard. He's just an NYPD cop, not James Bond.

The only good thing Max Landis has ever written is his last name. Presumably on the back of a check for one of his shitty screenplays.

That's nice, but will kids know who Eric Lindros, John LeClair and Mikael Renberg are?

That was perfect in every way. Is she allowed to take this impression to SNL? Or does CBS own it and have to give permission?

I actually saw the original xXx in theaters and I have absolutely no recollection of the plot, characters' names or the action sequences in the movie. I only remember that Asia Argento was in it and her first name is pronounced, "Ah-zee-ah" not "Asia" like the continent.

Maybe this is just the future of politics.

Until someone makes the joke, "If you're Dinosaur Jr., then where's Dinosaur Sr.?" (This is usually around 11:30 and the joke is made by J Mascis's father.)

I think scenes like these are very funny:

Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser: two good-not-great stars who nonetheless deserved much better careers.

I didn't see anything in their "rules" so I figured it was fair game. Most people unconsciously put animation into its own category, I guess.

I'm surprised it didn't do better in theaters. I figure Paul Blart made casual viewers sick of it before they even saw it.

Maybe it's the "laughter of recognition" that's doing it for me.

Are you kidding?! That's what I love most about it, how funny it is. Pretty much every scene with Mark Ruffalo and his nephew or Laura Linney and Matthew Broderick.

Notable Omissions:

Pretty spot-on review, though I liked it more than Sean did.
