I never quite got the love for Skeleton Crew. It has The Mist and The Jaunt and a bunch of solid, not quite great stories. I’ve always been more partial to Night Shift in terms of bang for your buck. Maybe its the nice symmetry of the stories, without a novella like the mist to unbalance it.

oh come on. It really depends. You gotta go on a case-by-case basis. But you’re right in that usually if something can be ruined and no longer be worthwhile simply through foreknowledge of where the story goes... than it probably wasn’t so hot of a story to begin with. The only spoilers that matter are for tv shows…

I don’t get this.. Av Club only skews toward lower grades on classics or to troll hipsters. All this because Dowd happened to find the best Iron Man movie “average” 5 years ago...

yeah, but ironically, whilst breaking the fourth wall.

Most of my favorite movies are C+’s at best!

Fat guy here who finds the idea of “plus sized superheroes” so laughable and dumb that I can’t even think of a joke to insert here... maybe he let the villain get away because he saw a newsstand and stopped to buy a snickers and a bag of doritos?

Yeah it just sounds funny that they’re so proud of announcing a nice round number, as if they just so happen to have that many quality projects in development at the moment....

basically same thing as I said. My main point was it was retitled 4 years after it’s first run, not a few months. Which is an important distinction, considering Empire.

Jesse IS the comments section personified.

I can’t wait until someone tells you that no one is forcing you to like a movie and there is no “culture war”, it’s just good folks like them versus evil Trump Supporters, the KKK, Neo Nazis, and Man Children/neckbeards (they assign equal weight to each of these groups)

Watch out, the nuts around here are going to start gaslighting you about how you’re making up all of that stuff about there being two sides of the hyperbole and exaggeration equation.

You sure love to respond with sarcastic hyperbole.

EDIT: To everything and everyone, I meant to add.

but we’re talking about someone who takes other people’s opinions quite personally, and how only an asshole wouldn’t love every Star Wars movie.

when you have an ego the size of the Titanic....

Some claimed I was having a meltdown about how I hated the movie just for pointing out how Jesse Hassenger REALLY likes this Star Wars prequels and stuff... and how a lot of posters here were going to have some fun debating with him.

You’ll get a half dozen replies saying that no one ever said anything bad about anybody who disliked the movie, because they personally didn’t say it.

What the fuck are you talking about? Who’s complaining about who is reviewing the movie? Huh? What? Do you not know the history of Hassenger and Star Wars? All I said was that when you have that combination, the conversations get pretty interesting. Wow, as days go by more and more kneejerk weirdos show up here…

Nope. No episode IV until 1981 vhs release.

Golden age of television, BLAH BLAH BLAH (j/o motion)

Quantity over quality! YAAAAAAAAY!
