I mean there’s not a lot of mystery here. Empire went over budget (and behind schedule), and Lucas was financing the picture through a bank loan, which the bank refused to extend because they adopted a policy of not extending loans to films which went over budget. To get the completion funds Lucas had to go to 20th…

Good song though!

I’ve always liked Octopussy. There’s the obvious reason- it was the first James Bond movie I ever saw, and the only point of comparison I had was Never Say Never Again. I recall either Showtime or Cinemax airing them back-to-back in a “Battle of the Bonds” and not having seen any others, I couldn’t understand why…

This is so fucking stupid. Cleopatra was not black. She’s clearly an alien. I’ve spent countless hours watching History Channel so I know what I’m talking about

Everything’s die hard fans are toxic (Star Wars, the comic universes, etc). The rest of us normals shouldn’t always have to apologize or qualify liking something.

Now where will I go to hear Brendan Fraser say “Motherfucker!” 2-3 times a minute?

“The movie had a good bit of humor to it, but they’re trading jokes and quips for actual story and character development.”

Oh god I hope they’re going to defeat the Crone this week.  I don’t think I’m going to be able to sit through another 8 episodes of people being snarky for no reason and relationships that I don’t care about at all.

This, and also there’s not really, like, big blockbuster comedies anymore. That genre has basically gone away. There would be no avenue for SNL to parlay itself into big time stardom. Best case scenario you get to be the star of a different TV show. Which is good, but feels more like a lateral move compared to the…

Holt McCallany as Fritz

They clearly wrote her out so Daniel could have a local love interest in Okinawa and, in order to not make Daniel the “bad guy”, had to throw Ali under the bus.

Turns out nobody likes pics of my feet. So much for early retirement.

Did it? It didn’t hurt his career for sure but “Eat it” and “I’m Fat” both were parodying the King of Pop.   

Forty-year-old me acknowledges your points as well-made and worth considering. Ten-year-old me calls you a big stupid poop-head and punches you in the arm, but don’t take it personally; he’s had too much red cordial.

“You’ll hook up with a hot chick, and then they figure out you’re not making any money from it and they’ll dump you.”

I liked Last Jedi

It’s imperfect, but by FAR the best of the Sequel Trilogy. It was unexpected, beautiful, frustrating, thrilling, and, you know, we’re still talking about it. When was the last time anyone mentioned Rise of the Skywalker or whatever the fuck?

“The series has the approval of original creator Merian C. Cooper”

Preferably while playing John Denver’s “Looking For Space”

It's funny, because Jellico isn't a bad captain, he just has a different style than Picard. He's not an insane admiral or anything, he's just got the same line Picard had between himself and the crew in the first season of TNG.
