>I never had invisible or imaginary friends as a child, so that might’ve been why.

This movie was depressing as hell.  Not just the Bing Bong part, which is a reminder that unless you’re Abe Lincoln or a Kardashian, you will not only die, you’ll be completely forgotten soon enough.  But the whole time I watched it I could only think that all these beings live inside Riley, and one day Riley will die…

And the next day, Elon Musk can invent the subway

Home Boxes Office?

Yep. A pretty striking absence of superheroes in that list. And movies like “Rain Man” are exactly the kind of film that probably would not get made now. It’s a character drama, there’s no CGI, no one wears tights, and they’ll never make “Rain Man II: Age of Charlie” or whatever.

>the big twist of Roger Ackroyd is pretty much impossible to do in any medium besides a novel.

“Death on the Nile” is already completed and is scheduled for release on Oct. 9, although of course with the plague who knows if it will be released in theaters.

Yup, I was a teenaged boy squarely in the “Ghostbusters” target bracket and I was very annoyed that the sequel had them again regarded as frauds, after, you know, they had saved New York from destruction.

Her children might be the ones pushing Dame Judi into all these terrible films to fatten up the bank account.

Keep making Poirot movies, until he ages into King Lear.  :)

YMMV, but I thought his adaptation of “The Murder on the Orient Express” was pretty solid.

Yes, and that’s what happened.  Daffy and Donald are on screen for the same amount of time.  Ditto Bugs and Mickey.

Man, there were some good movies in 1988.

I liked just about every movie Kenneth Branagh made back in the day, including his “Henry V” which is still one of the best Shakespeare movies of all time.  His work in the last decade since he’s started getting directing work again has been pretty uneven.  I liked “Cinderella” way more than I thought I would and his…

I guess Kenneth Branagh takes paycheck jobs like that because...wait, why does he?  Maybe it will pay for another Agatha Christie movie, which would be cool.  The world desperately needs a good feature film adaptation of “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd”.

This film was pointless.

Sometimes a bad movie can, you know, just be bad.

The bear thing comes out of nowhere.  Rebellious princess, challenging her mom, poof, mom’s a bear.

This movie really is just straight-up bad.  Larry the Cable Guy is irritating in general, but it’s a problem when your hero is a moron.  I guess we’re supposed to feel bad for Mater when Lightning yells at him, but Mater deserved to get yelled at, because he’s a moron.

One of the most dramatic “that show is still on the air?” examples I’ve heard in a while.  Heard “Grey’s Anatomy” was still on the air, too.
