I bought a house that had a hot tub. After ten years, it had been used exactly zero times and looked exactly like that. I wish I could have gotten $30 for it.

Oh, I also love, inordinately I suppose, when a gun is emptied at an invulnerable object, and then thrown at the still-advancing object. It’s just so...futile, and natural a thing to do, I love it.

Fun fact - they had to stuff cotton balls slathered in vaseline up Maguire’s nose when filming that to keep all that movie rain (larger drops than real rain, which is too fine to show up well on film) from choking him. The voice was overdubbed later.

I don’t know that this is a cliché but it always gets me when a robot sacrifices themselves for someone.

Bonus points if one of the characters has to bribe someone with a very unusual item, and there’s a handoff scene.

The montages in Better Call Saul are my current favorite. Always good.

The “resignation getting rejected” trope is beautifully done in one of my favorite X-Files episodes, One Breath, when Skinner rips up Mulder’s resignation letter.

It’s been over 20 years. His kids are grown. He’s coming back on his own terms. If Disney gave him a ton of money, GOOD.

When we first meet him, he has accidentally shrunk himself and is flying around on a shrunken drone — seemingly lost…

I can clearly say that “Perri” was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre (the Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan).
