What I was immediately struck by in these trailers is how much faker the backgrounds and sets looked compared to the last one, and that came out almost a decade ago.
I'm astonished this movie is apparently decent-to-good, because all the trailers made this look like that Treehouse of Horror episode about the dolphins taking over only played completely straight.
"Some things you never get over… like the bubbleicious lemon-lime splash of Sierra Mist."
My favorite thing about Apu is that they manage to poke fun at certain Indian/Hindi traditions without coming across as racist which is a REALLY fine line to walk.
That and the musical sting accompanying it.
Their brains being separate and conscious entities was easily my favorite running gag.
Man what in the fuck is going on with that dude's hair and complexion, it's like The Hair Club for Men as presented through the magic of polymer clay.
I distinctly remember The Simple Life for one scene: Paris Hilton (or Nicole Richie who could possibly give a fuck anymore) on the phone with someone saying how there's a dog loose in the area, cut to camera outside of the pie they baked for some smalltown gathering and a dog wandering by and eating some of it.
Just like Star Wars!
I'm going to be the dissenting voice and say that while it's neat as an arthouse kind of film and the animation (what's completed, anyway) is extremely impressive and gorgeous, as a story it's super basic and so… only worth watching once.
I wasn't aware people thought it was just an urban legend. If you read all the stupid shit Atari executives did/believed in the 80s is it really such a surprise they'd overproduce a ton of ET cartridges and end up having to bury them somewhere?
One of my favorite jokes (which is also one you're kinda not allowed to do anymore) is when Ed Bighead tells everyone how his trail-blazing ancestor founded O-Town after buying the land from the native tribes for 53 cents and some breath mints.
I like to think the guy on the left is trying to do the Batusi but can't get the hand gestures quite right.
I do like this episode but yeah, it's so damn earnest that it almost feels like a holdover from season 1 or 2, and man I really fuckin do not like the first two seasons.
Woozle wuzzle?
"Here is an ordinary square—
Woah, woah, slow down egghead!"
That really did piss me off the most. Hollywood and television helped perpetuate a really stupid mindset of racism only being bad when it's blatant and completely ignored implicit/institutionalized bigotry because I guess having people think about that sort of thing might be too inconvenient.
My personal favorite edit hands-down was when a local network/affiliate/whatever decided to air Bulworth of all things, which was already kind of a movie you'd never expect to see on 90s/early 2000s networks since it was such a scathing, cynical look at American politics and society, and instead of editing in new…
