What about Almost Pizza?

That would be a cracking competition.

I'm pretty surprised that it actually lasted 8 seasons. I remember liking it for about a season or so and then forgetting about it and presuming (foolishly) that it was one of those shows that was only around for a blip.

Bringing in "name" actors, especially those who don't really have distinct voices or great voice acting skills, is strange to me as well. As you mentioned, it seems unlikely that the names attached are going to drive ticket sales up enough to counter the cost of hiring them over a less expensive professional voice…

I'm a big proponent of kids learning how to deal with fear, and using fiction to help with that learning experience, but each kid is going to have a different level of what they can deal with. Depending on the kid, a better alternative to the emoji movie might be, oh, a home rental, or a backyard barbecue, or a trip…

Even in 1995 you could always take your kids to a park or something.

I actually heard a rumor that she comes back well before that, you just have to find the Clear Materia, then find the City of Cait Siths and defeat the Zultra Weapon.

Factoring home video and, the even bigger slice of the neverending money-maker pie, Television / streaming rights, it's definitely turned a profit by now.

Hollywood accounting. David Prowse claimed he was denied money owed for Return of the Jedi because the studio claimed it never turned net profit. That bears repeating, they claimed that Return of the Motherfucking Jedi was not profitable. The grotesque, unsightly, elephantine balls to make that claim…

I thought he was reasonably charming and light in Man From Uncle. He could have been a much more fun Superman if, well… we all know by now.

Hopefully they'll be well-executed and won't rely on the strings to sell the scare more than the moment itself. Some of the best jump scares I can think of either played it purely diegetic or waited at least half a beat to hit the scare chord (e.g. the "bigger boat" moment in Jaws, Myers in the backseat in Halloween,…

They changed the video after the initial comment.

And now they've gone and switched to a youtube vid to make the commenters who understandably griped about the previous version look like loons.

I'm trying to keep my expectations in check for this. I've been reasonably impressed with the trailers so far (I actually caught my first Pennywise related nightmare in a couple decades a few weeks after watching that first trailer, so that might be influencing how I'm feeling about this). There are a couple of spotty…

Last shot made me laugh. Anyway…

Holy shit. You know it's extra old when it's odd-nosed Elmer and weird-looking Bugs.

I always figured the "twist" in Signs is that the purpose of the alien visitation isn't really invasion, but abduction. I seem to remember a newscaster calling that out fairly explicitly at the end of the movie, though I'd need to rewatch, as I may be wrong about that. But with that in mind, I took the twist to be of…

By all indications, by the end of the movie, they seem to be trying to undertake mass scale abductions for some reason, as opposed to an actual invasion.

It's not a downplay. We all know that it's the only good superheroine film ever made, and that's given it staying power that couldn't even be accounted for. I said that it was impressive. But if it had gone up against Planet of the Apes in its next week, and then Dunkirk a week later, as opposed to The Mummy and 47…

It makes multiple references to the French trying to hold the Germans back and shows them fighting briefly very early on and remarks about them being lied to regarding being evacuated with the Brits. Whether or not that addresses it well enough, I can't say.
