Was Minnie Driver in either version of The Italian Job?

Well, there is a tradition of weird original Dune poetry. “Put the pick in there, Pete, and turn it round real neat!”

“Mood’s a thing for cattle and loveplay, not mocap suits!”

Fucking reaction videos. It was charming the first couple times I saw people ‘reacting’ to cool things on Youtube. Now it’s a genre and I hate it. (Sometimes it comes with expert analysis and a pathway to learning something new and interesting, but that seems the exception rather than the norm.)

In other words, it’s just WAKA WAKA WAKA

When Bob Mortimer’s reclining on his son’s Xbox chair with his top denture and a little cup of Fuji 9, I can’t picture him using the Amazing Temporary Tooth Replacement Kit...

Thank you!

Easy, I was criticized for not being good at it as a young child (before I got glasses, for what it’s worth, after which I was a lot better at throwing and catching). And somehow, I never had the participatory family experience of sitting and watching a cricket match. My dad was deeply into cricket, but he pretty much…

With the Fisker Ocean, life’s a beach...

Which came first -- the dragon or Egg?

All reasonable points.

Comparing Moana and Frozen, Frozen is an extraordinarily good script because the supernatural threats map so clearly to the emotional stakes of the story. Whereas in Moana, the threat is vaguer and has no real connection to the way anyone feels, which makes it less gripping (at least in my opinion).

Maybe they should bring her back. They can write her a story arc where she campaigns against immoral music being played in galactic cantinas.

‘Pusher and Shover Mike’ doesn’t have quite the same effect...

I’ve never done a Citizen’s Arrest, but I did try a Casio Confrontation. (But it mainly involved playing the keyboard and yelling, so the dude just walked on.)

No problem, let’s bring Cara Dune back! On an unrelated note, I wonder if there’s a record for the longest time spent in a Sarlacc pit?

‘Stake’ and ‘Kick’ both sound like a brand of super-shady chewing tobacco...

Dude, I remember seeing Dino-Riders on TV. It seemed pretty cool at the time. (See also Sky Commanders, and contrast with Denver The Last Dinosaur, which probably wasn’t cool at all.)

The next Terminator needs to be a rom-com where this iteration round, the future robots are actually pretty chill, and the beefy T-890 just wants to experience teen romance, parachute pants and the Fresh Prince in the decade when it actually happened.
