I liked Sakura and Akuma (despite his handicap, he was a great character for constant small-to-medium attacks) and Dan was like a gift to your opponent. We'd take turns seeing who could make the biggest blocks

Let's not forget that 1996 saw the debut of my favorite Capcom game of all time, also my favorite mashup game of all time, and my favorite non-Tetris puzzle game of all time:

Came here for a cookbook reference. Leaving very disappointed.

My favorite Indiana Jones moment, one that sums up both the character and the filmmakers' love for him:

I'd sell my soul for a Formula 1 racer…

It's still out there, and it still has some cachet. But its overall popularity has deflated like a popped balloon after those first few years of ubiquity. It's like the comedy equivalent of Avatar.

There are some funny jokes here and there (particularly Isla Fisher going bonkers whenever she could), but I found "Wedding Crashers" mean-spirited and elitist. The middle act is a slobs-vs-snobs setup, but the "slobs" are already upper-middle class white guys who spent the first half of the movie stealing booze and…

Talladega Nights, like Hot Rod a few years later, is not really a good movie in that ot doesn't have consistent character development or a plot that makes much sense or anything resembling narrative drive. But, like Hot Rod a few years later, it is nevertheless funny as fuck.

Can I just say how happy I am that this site (and society at large) continues to pretend that Napoleon Dynamite never happened?

Also the first movie gave us the one good use of "Jingle Bell Rock."

That is fucking brilliant.

Playing genuinely dim is indeed a challenge. Usually it's some comedian who thinks that a dumb accent or mispronouncing words is all it takes (see: far too many SNL alumni.)

Did they make some "state of the union" news post with the various drops/changes? Or is it just something they're downplaying and leaving as self-evident?

On first viewing, I wasn't sure where Paths of Glory was going until the cockroach scene. Then it suddenly all clicked.

Yeah. The phrase "senseless death arrives in the form of a particularly bleak punchline" pretty much assures I'll never see this, which is too bad.

Exactly. I believe they intended for it to be consensual, just as it was in the book, but it's still very sad to know that several people took a look at the final cut of the scene and went, "yep, still looks consensual to me! Print it!"

Believe me, I'm not holding my breath for some kind of apology or even acknowledgement.

Except for that whole rape thing.

Every once in a while, someone will make some comment about how morally different "today's disgusting rap lyrics" are compared to the "clean cut lyrics in oldies and classic rock." Shockingly, this person is usually a white male over 40*. I like to point out to them that "The Wanderer" has nearly the exact same tone…

I enjoyed Cooke's writing/art on "Minutemen," but honestly I enjoyed his writing and Conner's art on "Silk Spectre" more. They told a much smaller story, and one that - refreshingly - stayed pretty far away from the original "Watchmen" narrative.
