Having seen those cutouts, that might be an urban legend I’m inclined to believe. I know if I’d still been working theater projection at the time, I’d have tried to sneak one into the back of my Escort.

Oh, the Altman Popeye. Talk about a strange pop culture creature with an unusually high creative pedigree, that completely succeeded in its aesthetic intentions, only to completely fail critically and financially. I really believe a book needs to be written. Spooooon!

Yeah, I had somehow missed that connection as well, but you can totally see it.

I actually know several people who dislike this movie, but then I also consider these folks to be self-serious sourpusses so...

I remember at the time being a big fan of Peter David’s superhero stuff and him writing that last page of the Comic Buyer’s Guide. He did a piece on the Phantom movie soon after release and gushed over it, saying it was possibly his favorite superhero film thus far. While I don’t necessarily agree with that, his…

I’m not sure that’s exactly his point, although I agree there are many treasures that can STILL resonate if viewed through the right contextual lens. I think (and I’m speculating a bit here because his point is ambiguous) but its a question of cultural saturation at the time of modern reinvention. I mean as much as…

I remember vaguely hearing this was going to be a thing but my life was much too chaotic then and missed the execution completely. Had no idea Chung was involved. Now I’ve got to watch episodes on youtube; right after I hit this vape a few times.

I love your little thesis here and have to agree with it. I definitely think these movies have, for the most part, been unfairly maligned. None of the three were cinematic masterpieces but I enjoyed them. Also, that Phantom poster is gorgeous, want it bad now. Cheers.

Could there be anything more snootily French then walking out of movies partway through in a huff? Give me a break. I wonder if they demand refunds too, based purely on aesthetic reasons or because it doesn’t reflect their own puritanical values back at them (American viewers), like many an idiot on the internet…

Man, I find this woman delightful; bubbly but not too vapid, passive-aggressive in that delicious flirty way, funny and it doesn’t hurt that I find her sexy as all get out as well. I’ve run into several posts wondering if this is an act (some of course much more mean spirited) and of course I can’t be 100% sure but if…

Nailed it.

Oh man, I remember this. Just a great riff by Benjamin and so true to life. Man, this show was full of this kind of stuff. I’m starting to think that by the enthusiastic response to this story and the obviously warm place this show holds in the hearts of its fans, maybe a club or con of some kind is in order.

The guy above you is referencing season 4's episode titled “Camp” and you’re referencing one of my personal fav.’s from season 1, the last ep. on UPN titled “Yoko”. That’s awesome though, because I was kind of hoping it would come up. Cheers.

I don’t know if you’re right about episode six being the first one to get the show “right” but man I found “Yoko”, the episode of the camping trip with the Russian FE student to be hilarious (or at least I did then, through my typical weed haze). This is definitely a show I plan to revisit, I’m enjoying just…

You know, I imagine with Drumpf in power and this POS being a supporter he (and many other cockroaches) have felt emboldened lately, and the delicious part is, I bet the backlash and its ferocity was completely unexpected by his warped little psyche. I hope he’s suffering 51 flavors of hell.

Yeah, it annoys me these assholes get paid for this kind of gibberish. This attitude belongs on the moldy couches of neo-hippie basements where I first discovered it. Of course that’s just like, my opinion man.

I’m not trying to start a fight here but I hope you can see the irony in picking a moniker that references a wordsmith par excellence and then using hyperbolic phrasing like, “...was extremely just ok...” You may be using such clumsy locution deliberately, which I often do with my texting (depending on the intended…

That internal fantasy keeps lotto ticket sales going strong. Even the most uneducated, bigoted swamp dweller, with the worst job at Walmart can still look up to people like Dumpf and think, “Man, I could be where he is someday, in Murica.” The scary part is, if it wasn’t for his small bank account, we now know he…

As a white dude (who never for a second bought into ideas of racial superiority), these stories make me cringe every time, as they should. I just wish we had a better classification for these type of people than just “white”. Oh wait, we do— arrogant, entitled assholes. I’m just sorry there are so many of the “white”…
