I don’t think it’s had any kind of commercial release since the original Laserdisc and VHS release c.1990, and I can’t speak for the Laserdisc but the transfer on the VHS looked absolutely awful, even by VHS standards. Apparently it was briefly on Amazon Prime and somehow looked even worse.

IMO, Bohemian Rhapsody should be on this list too. Once everyone got past the “Wow, Rami Malek sort of looks like Freddie Mercury” reaction to the early shots, the movie was deadly dull and - also IMO - barely touched on Mercury’s personal life, which everyone expected. The fact that all members were not on board…

The Doors by Oliver Stone is another. The remaining members of the band hated the movie, but loved Val’s performance.

What kind of an 8 year old enjoys a full screening of 2001?  You’d have to think 99.9% of 8 year olds on the planet would find it excruciatingly boring.

I caught the trailer on YouTube and when the "our country tis of thee" kicked in, I could have sworn it was some sort of Team America style parody.

Taylor came by my apartment the other day and broke all of my original records of hers and told me I had to buy the new Taylor’s Version copies. I think as sales strategies go, it’s a bit too aggressive.

This is pretty damned close to the exact “discourse” I’ve seen at various points online.

Right-wing media: “Hey! Here’s this action/drama about a federal agent who’s trying to stop child traffickers!”

Of course AMC wouldn’t care about losing out on some money because they’re getting funded by George Soros selling cocaine to the White House (that’s right...WHITE...they put that clue right out in front of us, that’s how evil they are). Plus obviously AMC is in on it, because those with wisdom will realize that AMC…

Everytime I read “Sounds of Freedom,” the campfire scene from Blazing Saddles instantly comes to mind.

True, but even here that could be to its advantage.  It is definitely calculated for effect, when they mentioned Florence Pugh has nude scenes.  It’s puerile, but it will absolutely draw viewers.  

A dude on the 4:20 flight to Amsterdam was super hungry? I couldn’t make that up if I tried.

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned it, but outside of Tony Stark, his portrayal of Paul Avery in Zodiac is my favorite role of his. Just an absolute delight in that movie, he should have gotten an Oscar nomination.

I’m very pro Latinx, for the record

“Given what a miserable little backwater shithole Britain has become, James Bond is a Rule Britannia masturbation fantasy that has become exhausting to indulge.”

I totally get where he’s coming from re: not wanting to be “defined by race.” It’s maddening to hear ignorant people insist that racism would just go away if minorities and liberals “just stopped talking about race,” because it’s so blatantly not true but we really wish it was. I would love to just exist as a person…

I hung in there until Beverly Hills, then I was pretty much out for good.  I keep wondering if I should dip my toe back in on the newer stuff, but there’s just so much damn Weezer out there now ...

I was the first guy to like Maladroit!

Depp’s nipples should have negotiated “and” acting credits, if not also E.P. credits. The viewership can sketch them from memory by now at every angle.
