    I love title cards, just like I love tracking shots, musical numbers, voice-over narration, and action set-pieces — which are all things that can be done poorly.

    Grammar doesn't work that way.

    Yo, one of the marks of a great movie is that it can make shitty music work.

    Not really. Grier is in his mid-50s, but he's playing a character who is in his mid-60s. (Yeah, ok, Grier really is old enough to have father Kerry Washington — he would have been 19 or 20 — but not within the context of the film.)

    Yeah, probably. It's not without its pleasures.

    To the movie's credit, I think Robinson's charismatic and likable enough to make the relationship believable. It's not a Kevin James situation.

    Pretty cool that your friends are gossiping about a $10/hour job I had for three months when I was 20.

    You are forgetting the periods.

    He was a lifelong sci-fi buff, though. There's a famous story about Jonathan Rosenbaum writing Ebert a letter when the two were in high school (they're about a year apart in age) because Ebert ran a sci-fi fanzine and was already well-known in geek circles (and mind you, we're talking 1950s geek circles here).

    Starting a gimmick account named Kathryn Bigelow: European Juggalo.

    Yo, real talk all good criticism comes from a place of love.

    Can't overstate what a generous dude he was, or how difficult the simplest tasks were for him in the final years.

    Real talk Vitaly is a total arms dealer name.

    It's hella eccentric, for sure, but def doesn't deserve the reputation that it has. Miscast (except for Geraldine Chaplin, who's pretty funny in a small role), but often really formally daring. Watch it.

    A few things that further muck up the question:

    Tea Rex,

    Right. Muzzy is a foreign language-learning educational cartoon. The English (that is, learning English) version of it was broadcast in Russia.

    The Monte Hellman-directed SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT III: BETTER WATCH OUT!, however, is actually pretty good.

    Spielberg was an executive producer on The Flintstones. Doesn't mean much: he also executive-produced the live-action Casper movie and We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story around the same time, with a break in between to direct Schindler's List.
