No.

It's the kind of opinion one comes up with when one is more is more interested in having an outrageous opinion than a conversation.

This is so silly I refuse to respond.

I didn't say all of Jurassic Park is amazing. It's a movie that doesn't so much end as grind slowly to a halt. But that one scene where the Tyrannosaurus can't *quite* see or smell them is more tense than the entirety of Duel.

Oh come on. Seriously? Duel is a fine movie, but it ratchets up the tension better than Jaws? Are you seriously saying that any scene in Duel is more tense than that Tyrannosaurus sequence in Jurassic Park?

Ralph Bakshi has made a career of having been adjacent to the counterculture at exactly the right moment. He's made a lot of stuff that's important to a certain kind of animation nerd.

I came of age at a time when everything wasn't available streaming on demand every time all the time. I had to find Heavy Metal on bootleg VHS at a convention (almost, but thankfully not bought: the Roger Corman Fantastic Four and the old Beatles cartoon from the '60s which I may or may not wish I'd bought anyway).

I would guess it's in reaction to people e-mailing him demanding he charge less/not at all for this show.

Nah. Multiple layers.

"Imagine if Taxi Driver really tried to get us to accept Travis Bickle as a sad sack, would-be romantic hero who finally makes good in the end."

I think there was a theory that Carrey didn't actually exist, but was Broderick's "Dark Rider."

Their interview on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast (they wrote 'Problem Child') was great.

You have no idea how big 'In Living Color' was to Carrey's natural fan base, ie me. I knew many teens and preteens who would run around doing impressions of Homey the Clown, Fire Marshall Bill, etc.

This article is silly.

"And that guy who was an Ed Koch stand-in?"

Truth is, the long-winded explanation the band posted basically boils down to, "Sorry if I hurt your feelings." It's okay to hold these young women accountable for their actions.

I don't know what I am doing…
more than half of the time.

If I had seen this header photo on the front page of this site before I'd seen the episode, I would have been really angry at the AV Club.

She didn't just "express an opinion." She wrote a letter to the judge during the sentencing portion of the trial testifying to his character and begging for clemency. She's a direct part of the process that led him to receiving a slap on the wrist for a major crime.

It's not just the chord progression; the vocal melody was identical.
