It’s worth remembering that some people do come out on the other side of that in decent shape. I’m not like a massive Mark Wahlberg fan or anything, but he certainly managed to make the teen heartthrob to adult movie star transition. Also Kurt Russell, Justin Timberlake, Sally Field, Jodie Foster, etc. I’m not…

Is this saracasm? Because teens *do* love jokes about mating...

Saw the trailer for this before Toy Story 4, and while it was a little cringey, it wasn’t even close to the worst looking trailer we saw. Angry Birds 2, whatever the fuck that was about the race car adjacent dog, the movie about the undersized sled dog (which has a remarkable amount of a-list actor talent (though not…

What *I* remember is the jingle, which *still* gets stuck in my head, unbidden...

Enjoy being put on the serial killer watch list! 

Ha. You know if I were one of those people who thought Trump was secretly playing 7-dimensional chess (sidenote: Ha!) this would be a good example: Look how much of the libs time was wasted handwringing over pronunciation!

Well how I feel about the child depends on if they are like 5 or like 15. A 5 year old just doesn’t know any better. A 15 year old may have a still developing moral compass, but should at least realize they are doing something gross...

Yeah, that was a really strange response. Her defense is “I didn’t mean to get caught?”

I mean..that’s kind of the point. The people acted like people might plausibly act in this situation (even just the ‘being lost in the woods is scary’ part outside of any ‘witch’). 

Or maybe you’re just a dick? Seriously, if you don’t find movies scary, sure, whatever. It’s not a fucking character flaw in other people.

I knew perfectly well it was fake and it still scared the shit out of me (I guess I would have been 25 at the time). I mean, The Ring scared the shit out of me too, and nobody ever thought that was real...

/me credits himself with an assist.

Also “berk”. Has Ray Ratto been hollowed out and is now being piloted by a 1970s era working class Brit?

I mean, isn’t that, like, all of them? Or if not a mashup, then an exaggeration (e.g. Yeti) or misunderstanding of fossils (Dragon)? To be fair I don’t know what a Uchchaihshravas is (ah, it’s a mashup of 7 horses).

But sadly not the rating of “mythical creatures who would fuck you”. #ConsentMatters

+1 Unnecessary Disney Reboot

I always thought the original Lion King had seriously diminishing returns. The opening number was visually and musically fantastic, and while I Just Can’t Wait to Be King is not my favorite piece of music, it effectively establishes the Simba as ambitious but pampered and ignorant, and the following introduction of…

Sure, but it does seem like you end up in a film minor because you have at least some kind of interest in film, and it’s hard to imagine being ignorant of Star Wars in that context (though I guess maybe more so in a pre-internet era). But yeah, I wouldn’t really lay this at the feet of the film program. I took film…

Hard to say...

A lady I work with thought Spaceballs *was* Star Wars. Like, for real. She didn’t know there was an actual, non-comedy/spoof of it. She was well into her 30s before she realized Barf, Dot, Yogurt and the rest were a parody of another film series known collectively as Star Wars.
