Though I'll take Reefer Madness: The Musical over the original Reefer Madness any day of the week. :)

The Thing From Another World is pretty neat, apart from the whole Military Good, Scientists Bad thing it has going on. The bit where the military guys (seemingly) destroy the greatest scientific discovery of the millenium because they rushed trying to get it out of the ice, and then don't seem to care at all about…

I kinda want to see an adaptation of Romeo & Juliet where a nameless warrior comes to Verona and plays the Capulets and Montagues against each other.

In the historical curiosity vein, I do notice how the original Ocean's Eleven and other pieces of media from the earlier part of the 20th Century treat organized crime as really being organized, to the point where it's taken as a given that, if this high-ranking mafioso guy makes a few phone calls, he'll have the…

But if, like me, you're only familiar with the Rat Pack via parodies in old Looney Tunes cartoons, it's more of a historical curiosity than anything else.

Yeah, it's absolutely amazing, while the 1960 original is almost a complete bore (I say "almost" because Shirley Maclaine's drunken cameo was genuinely funny).

Gotta agree with you there. Fistful streamlines the plot while adding delightful bucketloads of style.

I actually prefer the 1974 The Front Page to His Girl Friday. Rosalind Russell may have been the better Hildy Johnson, but Walter Matthau was the better Walter Burns, and I like the later film's more cinematic style and cynical attitude.

Film and television are almost inherently collaborative mediums, though, rather than "coming from a single consciousness".

Big Trouble

Maybe, like traumatic or embarrassing deaths, that's a memory that gets erased when you're brought to the Good Place.

I was about to make a Looper joke, when I realized Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Joseph Gordon Levitz aren't the same person. It seems like they should be, but they aren't.

*Looks at year book page*
What the f(BLEEP) is Martin!?

Rambo saved all the POWs, except for one poor sergeant named Seymour Skinner, who wouldn't be released until nearly a deacde later.

I remember seeing the episode that introduced Pinsky. It was the first time I recall being aware of the Mary Sue concept. I didn't know the term at that point, but it was when I first realized that trying WAY too hard to make me like a character could make me hate them instead. It's a good thing they didn't stick with…

It's part of the contradiction of romance movies: they have to make you believe the couple would be great together, but have to postpone the moment where they ACTUALLY get together for at least an hour and a half. This generally requires either an external obstacle to their relationship, or some sort of…

Or, as I like to call it, the Jed Mosely:

I've never had a social media account simply because keeping one updated, and keeping track of other people's social media accounts, seems like too much of a hassle. I'll use forums or comment sections like this one because they're low commitment: you can hop into the conversation whenever you want, but if you don't…

Well, there's the overall theme that success has more to do with blind luck than hard work or intelligence. Or there's the treatment of religion, where Forrest's prayers succeed in saving his shrimping business . . . by causing a huge storm that destroys all the other shrimping boats and ruins hundreds of people's…

The Simpsons actually had Homer's name put in the dictionary (within the universe of the show) as a slang term for "to succeed despite idiocy".
