Sure, @avclub-2dd78e6d27abfc8092491a5b76d415fa:disqus - don't order any, and you'll be fine!

I'd heard they'd broken up recently?

@impromptuj:disqus - that's certainly how I feel about Myers. I personally always preferred Dana Carvey in Wayne's World, since as Garth he commits to that character and stays in it, completely. Even the scene where Garth's showing off his drum skills (the one time you might see Dana Carvey peeking through the…

I'm pretty sure Oswalt could get a good ten minutes out of the limp lettuce alone, @avclub-2ffe5ae29bb6b60145835654b541b443:disqus .

One such effort has been its new Signature Crafted Recipes line, which plays catchup

You might want to hold a seance to ask Trotsky about going bonkers over fearing Stalin, @tlo3794:disqus ….

You mean, sort of like how Ayn Rand freaked out when Stalin said "Boo!" to her, so she twisted libertarian philosophy into some insane rapey anti-Communist mishmash, @tlo3794:disqus ?

Yeah, but what sells it is Cage just going to town on the scenery, @Mike_From_Chicago:disqus !

Why, yes, @millennialhistorian:disqus - yes, they are.

That could happen, @recognitions:disqus - but only on BBC post-watershed.

@james_deriven:disqus - I guess what clinched my dislike of this was less the sub-Doctor Who production design and F/x work, than the fact it's not a remotely accurate adaptation of John Varley's story. They took a SF premise that was actually kind of interesting, and turned it into an Eighties Action Flick With…

@kristopherwright:disqus - I could not believe some of the racial epithets that got flung at Fu Manchu, repeatedly, over the course of the movie! It's so chock-full of anti-Asian bigotry that the film ends up operating on the level of subversion - after about the sixth or seventh time Fu makes a polite comment, only…

I know, @Matthew_Blanchette:disqus - I was going to bring that up, but the reason I double-posted this comment? Was because the first post was beachballing an hour later - so I hastily re-wrote and posted it.

I was thinking Chow Yun-Fat myself, @disqus_c5TDW3RcFO:disqus - but we're on the same page here.

To say nothing of cheesy video F/x and soap-opera production values.

They tried, @avclub-556af2550dcbee76da893225af4aaf44:disqus - it was called Khan!, and starred Khigh Dhiegh in the title role of a Chinese-American detective in San Francisco's Chinatown.

"Me, Neither."
- George Lincoln Rockwell

@avclub-556af2550dcbee76da893225af4aaf44:disqus - they did in the Seventies. It was called Khan!, and starred Khigh Dhiegh (who played Wo Fat, McGarrett's recurring Asian nemesis, on the original Hawaii 5-0) as a Private Detective with a large family in San Francisco's Chinatown.

@disqus_c5TDW3RcFO:disqus - A Fu Manchu movie could work if you inverted it, the way Paul Verhoeven did Starship Troopers - make Fu the hero (and cast an actual Chinese actor for a change!), and make the movie a pointed satire of British Imperialism.

I confess, @ironmikesharke:disqus - much as I get all righteously pissed off at Yellowface in modern Hollywood? Nicholas Cage as Fu Manchu strangely works - mostly because he doesn't even bother to look Asian! It's just Nic Cage in a red silk robe, with a droopy mustache, ranting and laughing maniacally….
