I think they're probably trying to ram through all the horrific stuff they've always wanted to while the going is good, and as soon as they're done with that will turn on him and escape any of the consequences. Once the EPA is successfully shut down, all of his cabinet picks are confirmed, we're entrenched in war…

Unfortunately, the media beginning to know how to handle it has come at the point where anyone who likes Trump has now had it hammered into their heads that anyone who says anything bad about Trump for any reason is "Fake News." I think they can just lie as much as they want, have it reinforced by Breitbart or Fox,…

I've watched it a couple times in the years since. It was never a GREAT MOVIE, but most of it's well-paced and watchable. It's kind of like a much stupider Pulp Fiction. The Marv stuff and the Bruce Willis stuff all works for me. The Elijah Wood and Yellow Bastard characters are very entertainingly tasteless. The…

I've only heard Mark Kermode's, and he repeatedly puts the disclaimer in that he really can't separate his opinion from how much it seemed dependent on his strong memories of seeing the first one in the theater and loving it. Basically, he thinks it might just be nostalgia-bait and he has no idea if it would work at…

Did not know that about Giger/Lynch. That sucks!

EXACTLY. I'm hoping for someone that wouldn't be pulled away from something I would have wanted to watch, so people like Villeneuve or Guillermo Del Toro would be top on my list of people that shouldn't direct it. It seems like DC right now would probably destroy the product of any director no matter how good they…

Well, to be fair, he also had roles such as the one where he played a jerky baseball player that got an eye transplant from a necrophiliac serial killer, turning him into a murderer himself. Luke Skywalker's was pretty snappy in comparison to that!

He's one of those very rare celebrities that seems to be loved by practically everyone (well, apart from diehard Trump fans). Like Tom Hanks, or Weird Al. Basically everything he writes on Twitter seems like it comes from a genuinely good dude. I hadn't heard anything about him personally before I started reading…

I'm sure Trump is far less likely to see the light than Darth Vader, but I still laughed at the visual.

Fair enough. I haven't seen it since the theater. I need to rectify that.

What was the first alternate ending? I know the storyboards were in that movie tie-in book from 1993. I think Grant piloted a crane to kill the raptors, or something? Was there a DIFFERENT one from the DVD extras?

It was for most of it, but then in the third act it started showing us scenes with Del Toro with her nowhere near, so she ended up getting sidelined until the ending. The ending was good, but I definitely had a more mild version of tyraspanish's reaction when she disappeared.

I rewatched that recently, and it was really bad, but the scene in which Mel Gibson sadistically starts eating his kids' mashed potatoes and then everyone starts crying while the mashed potatoes drip from his mouth made it all worth it.

I'd love to see some director I don't care about on this useless project, as it doesn't deserve to have someone talented wasted on it.

Well, she didn't really sing in the last one, that was at least 50% Melodyne or whatever they use these days

Yeah. If you watch a trailer compilation for old action movies you'll see practically every action scene in all of them. They're trying to sell it as a spectacle, and with old budgets/technology the only way to fill a trailer was to show EVERYTHING. Same deal with sci-fi/monster movies or exploitation movies or…

Seriously. That was terrible. We didn't even hear the difficult parts of that song yet, either. I guess at least the two most iconic songs aren't sung by Belle, but that opening song is my personal favorite. I guess that's what happens when you cast for looks/popularity!!

What episode of MST3K is that from?

Oh, nothing nearly as bad as close relatives, just when you get photographed with people who you have a very strained relationship with (ie, coworkers) and everyone keeps saying GET CLOSER! SMILE MORE!!! and the awkwardness rapidly stacks up to the point where you almost want to explode like Mr. Hutton!

Those and the Bane coat definitely help, yeah.
