Honestly, the only thing I remember about the 2nd Reacher flick is the lengths the film went to in order to make Tom Cruise look like he was taller than Cobie Smulders...

Elf With A Gun is a *very* deep cut, but at this rate, he’ll be the main villain of Phase 5....

Indeed; I “Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers” cartoon would be like printing money.

Ben’s a much better director than he is an actor, but in the right part, he can be much more than serviceable (see “Argo” for examples of both).

Also. Bomb. Phantoms. Yo.

That was my first thought; it could be the photography, though it looks asymmetrical from every view, especially that shot of the front (though the back fenders look misaligned as well).

While I agree with absolutely *everything* you say in this post, I’ll be honest, I got most excited when I initially misread that you’re only a few years away *from* making a dinosaur....

The Wendy’s salad and nacho bar - we really stretched the “all you can eat” in college with that one.

I vaguely remember that, though honestly, “Big Bell Beefer” sounds like some imaginary sex act bored teenagers submit to Urban Dictionary....which was probably the appeal?

like it’s all the dimensional tourists impersonating heroes froms the latter days of Slott’s She-Hulk run?

At this point, solving the Han problem with either time travel or android doubles would not surprise me.  And I’d still be down for it.

mmmm...turkey wings.

There is the stage musical - if anything, it’s even darker than the film.

Yep - born and raised in Northeastern PA - it’s always been “Pee-Ay” for everyone, regardless of which side of the Yuengling/Iron City line they fall on.

I thought the moon had the Jewish lasers, not the Muslim freeze rays...

Ted wouldn’t do it - though he’d volunteer Gym Jordan.

alas, this is all just plain old “fa”, through and through....

reminds me of my youngest child (13 now and eating me out of house and home) at a potluck/buffet event somewhere when she was three or four, walking right past the cakes/cookies/pie, and grabbing piles and piles of raw carrots, broccoli and peppers with a look on her face like she was getting away with something...

Ah, yes, Amanda Chase, unfortunately my representative in the State Senate. Completely batshit crazy (to the point she was kicked out of the local Republican party organization), but her antics are ripe for Karen-flavored comedy if you’re in the mood.

Probably? Still seems like a relatively engaging driving experience in a package that works as a daily. I’m currently in a 6MT Scion iM (A Corolla hatch, basically), and while not dull with the stick, it could occasionally use a little more ooph than it’s 135hp 1.8L can provide. I figure the little turbo 3 would be…

Give me a Corolla hatch with this drivetrain (with the 6MT, please), I’d buy it right away. I doubt it would piss away *all* the fun (plus, I could still fit the live bass rig in the back...)
