Yeah, when I heard all the revisionist history going on about this trilogy I decided to watch Phantom Menace again for the first time since 1999.

Jake Llody’s mom has got it goin’ on!

I don’t remember a ton about the show, but I do recall that the character was supposed to be a bounty hunter when he wasn’t doing stunt work. The plots revolved around that and I’m sure there parceled the action scenes out pretty rigidly. I don’t know if it was as formulaic as The A Team, but I’d bet every episode…

“Well I don’t mean to kiss and tell, but I’ve been seen with Farrah...”

I remember Heather Thomas in the opening credits pretty well.

I must have seen the original show as a kid, but I have no recollection of any plots to the show. 

I have been reading this site so long my brain has been scrambled. I can’t tell anymore what’s snark, what’s “sarcasm”, what’s a hot take, and what’s just pop culture knowledge I’ve aged out of. The prequels are now “once despised”? And that’s hard to believe? They are still dog shit in my book.

Lisa and Jake Llody

No, the prequels haven’t been “normalized” or redeemed. Showing them on regular cable a lot doesn’t make them better. Excusing them as “children’s films” or pointing out that Rise of Skywalker is worse doesn’t make them better or justify their low quality.

It does spoil Better Off Dead a bit knowing what he later became. Jeffery Jones who played the principal in Ferris Bueller also turned out to be a creep which puts a bit of a damper on watching that too.

You somehow managed to misspell the name of the subject of the article at least 50% of the time. Congrats.

Despite being a registered sex offender, Peck continued to work in Hollywood after his conviction, including on the Disney Channel series The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody.

He keeps miscasting DiCaprio

I don’t think she would have needed to go super fast into the pond. Most cars float - at least for a bit. She could have backed up enough to float the back end. If it was a single motor, there’s no drive wheel contact; or maybe there was enough car floating to lose traction to the front, too. Shift into drive, churn…

To be fair to McHale, the dislocated shoulder was during the filming of a scene where McHale’s character was practicing boxing by punching Chase’s padded hands, and Chase kept goading McHale to punch harder between takes. So McHale punched the padded hand as hard as he could with his left (McHale’s right handed), and…

That you have to wait until pressure equalizes is a myth, like hiding under a bridge in a tornado. It is only a factor in running water when the flow is against the door. In still water pretty much any grown adult can open a car door. The sooner you get the door or window open, the better your chances of survival.…

Normal buttons. And they may have even been operable when the car first went into the water. However, in a panic, it’s counter-intuitive to roll the windows down when your only thought is, “Oh no! How can I stop this water from coming in!?”  Especially if they haven’t previously been educated on how to exit a sinking…

The fact that McHale had the “Chevy Chase” role is an insight I hadn’t heard before. I could see someone with an ego like Chase’s being threatened by the idea that the show had a Handsome, Sarcastic Guy role, and that someone else was playing it. And physically fighting with someone 30 years younger than you…

Touchscreen shifters are a fantastically stupid idea.

Nolan’s first feature film was Following (now that was REALLY low-budget in comparison to Memento).
