What he said to Tom was so funny I ended up finally ordering the DVD set of this fondly- but barely-remembered show.

Ah, horror...a genre where a movie can keep an uninterruptedly good reputation for 40 years but still be terrible. I guess that’s more feature than bug.

This season has grown on me a little; the whole never-take-off-your-helmet thing is stupid (“We’ve made you a banquet, sit and eat! We’re just going to be sitting across the table watching you.”) but it’s becoming more of a stupid detail instead of a stupid plot point. I like its willingness to get silly in general.

The lesson here is, people want slasher sequels where every returning character miraculously survives no matter how many times they get knifed in the guts. Perhaps we’re moving toward an era in which they don’t get knifed at all, they just keep returning for sequels to get harassed with trivia questions over the phone…

Been curious about this one, but not as curious as I am about the inevitable moral-panic shitstorm it’s going to inspire. I’m kinda surprised that Danielle Smith hasn’t made it a cornerstone of her electoral platform yet.

How is The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training? I’m wondering because of those little Deep Focus books - seeming to try to do for movies what 33 1/3 does for records - only lasted five books, and one of them was somehow for that, while the other four are for arguable classics.

I have never heard my dad laugh so hard as when he watched Mr. Baseball.

“You, Bo Katan, must reunite all the stray Mandalorians out there and bring them here, so they can join a cult that doesn’t let them take their helmets off.”

I remember thinking the Dragonheart dragon looked a little silly with its giant moving mouth creating a regular, human-sized voice (otherwise it was a pretty impressive FX step forward in 1996), but by the time I saw the telepathy dragon in Eragon which just stares at you, I figured Dragonheart got it right.

That wasn’t revenge either, that was a crackdown, with Kersey as an unwitting stooge for the real villain!

He did later add that some good movies would be better if they were shorter.

Eh, I don’t think Death Wish is about revenge so much as just lashing out. (none of those criminals who fucked up his family are ever seen again) Death Wish II on the other hand...probably isn’t going to get on a “greatest” list.

Even on a PS2 you need a specific PS1 save cartridge, don’t you? That’s what I remember of why I gave up, but it’s been some time.

I believe this is the show that gave us  “gang of crapulous shills”

You’re probably right about how they’ll be used (though as captured wild animals I wouldn’t describe that fate as pets or working), but I’m not sure “well cared for” describes anything I’m seeing among these bozos. Without our leads, they’ve so far been helpless to much protect themselves against sky monsters and…

I’m pretty sure their plan is more enslaving than saving

This helmet cult is a bunch of idiots and it makes me sad to see Bo Katan join them. (and the thought of Grogu joining them just makes me fucking confused. Is his helmet going to have cute little ears?)

Courtney Cox (actor) and Courtney Cox (guitarist)

Didn’t have a last act, eh? Boy does it ever show.

I saw Campbell doing a solo questions-from-audience thing at a con and he was so good at slapping down rude/dipshitty questions (in particular “Why did you let Army Of Darkness be so wimpy”) I suspect that it kinda encourages a particular breed of attention-seeking asshole.
