Yeah, but what did you think of the slide scene?

I think the obvious answer is, Nancy saw Porky's and figured this was just the normal sort of hi-jinx that guys in the eighties were always trying to pull.

Oh yeah, they disowned it for years. I remember you couldn't even rent it back in the 80's. It wasn't even released properly until Anchor Bay put it out on DVD in… (checking) … 2001!

No boobs. It was Disney.

Yeah, I think he even sent flowers and reached out to Ebert when he got really sick toward the end. So I guess he's not a completely awful person.

I've come to appreciate the Rocky sequels more in hindsight simply because each movie seems to represent what Stallone was going through at the time. I thought Rocky 4 was awful in '85, but now I see it as the point where Stallone's ego had reached critical mass before all the personal and professional lows that came…

Wow, I forgot he directed that. I finally saw this on TCM a few months ago and was shocked by how good it was (it was one of the first ever Golan-Globus productions). That ending is such a gut punch.

I have always attested that the fact that John G. Avildsen had no clue how to direct a comedy resulted in Neighbors being an accidental masterpiece. It follows a weird dream logic like After Hours, where everyone in intermittently friendly then hostile towards Belushi, with absolutely no provocation for either. The…

Breakdown is one of those hidden gems that I try to tell people about (it was a modest hit upon release, but it just sort of disappeared after that). Though I don't think Mostow really had much to do with it turning out as good as it is. It had a great cast, a great location and a great script. Beyond that, I remember…

I also think they REALLY dropped the ball by not casting Aaron Paul as Reece. Even before I knew they were going to make a Terminator movie set in 1984, I always thought he reminded me of 1984 era Micheal Biehn.

So you're saying Save Brendan turned him into Gary Sinise?

I guess I'm showing my age, but I would have gone with a Green Acres comparison, or failing that, Newsradio.

I've never seen this, but I just assume it's horrible because my friend used to date this girl who I absolutely hated and this was her favorite movie. And no, it wasn't one of those things where I resent my friend's girlfriend because I'm afraid she's going to steal him away from me. She was genuinely a terrible…

I guess The Conjuring 2 deserves a mention. Actually pretty surprised no one thought of it already.

How the hell could they not include The Penguin?! All I can say is "Get out! And don't come back… until you've redeemed yourselves."

It was exactly 50% heartfelt recreation of old Three Stooges shorts, and 50% dumb, lazy Farrelly brothers comedy. Like, you'd have a spot-on stooges slapstick bit, then an LMFAO song would start playing and the cast of the Jersey Shore shows up.

There was already a Paul Simon cinematic universe, One Trick Pony. As the title suggests, it was a one film cinematic universe.

I wonder if the "fake" part has anything to do with it.

That was the one with Parker Lewis' dad, wasn't it? If so, I remember watching the first five or six episodes and really liking it. Then I never heard about it again.
