He barely speaks in that first movie. A few movies in and he’s got a whole stand-up routine. You’re right on, they TOTALLY lost sight of what makes the story scary/interesting. Dreams give you too much of a license to go crazy — and so you had this succession of music video directors trying to make a splash with their…

I actually worked with those guys, a few years ago. Developing a project that never quite got a greenlight. So every time I see one of their movies, it’s a particularly weird/bittersweet experience, because I’m familiar with their development process and can imagine how all the beats were worked out. “There should be…

They tried to bring back — and focus on — the “child killer” aspect of Freddy in the attempt to reboot NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. What a uniquely joyless movie.

I *love* the (original) idea — that Andy’s more culpable, in a way, and tethered to the actions of this doll. I reckon that’s explored with this new version.

What would have been totally inspired and way creepier — they should have given the BANANA SPLITS property to the “DON’T HUG ME I’M SCARED” creatives and just let them go absolutely bonkers with it.

I actually think it would have been a lot creepier if they’d just tried to make a straight BANANA SPLITS movie.

HA! I know! I just imagine him pulling the car over before they get halfway up that mountain and just strangling his family.

I’m really surprised at how much they’re directly referencing Kubrick’s movie, esp since King famously DISLIKES that adaptation (though he likes it as a piece of cinema on its own).

Syfy’s upcoming made-for-television horror movie based on The Banana Splits Adventure Hour has been rated R by the MPAA for “horror violence and gore.”

I like how they fight on the street in the real world and fuck in the virtual world.

I made this little animation for a Photoshop Battle yesterday, using some older Batman Returns toys.

I love Alita — don’t be disparaging my precious Alita to cover for the failure of this turkey!

Nice gif by Natalie Peeples at the top of this post. (A quick google reveals that she’s done work for THE ONION.)

This is why you don’t punch down.  You pick a fight with someone in a lower weight class, you lower yourself and elevate them.

The episode reminded me of this old Barbara Kruger gem.

I don’t know how they’re gonna convince Dan Aykroyd to be in another Ghostbusters movie.

They literally taped it a few blocks from where I was living and I didn’t know anything about the show before I got there.  And it was so cool to see this fully-formed little community.  Everyone went to drink at this local bar afterwards, it was really sweet.

This is what I’m hoping for because I want that multiverse, baby! And a multiverse would be a great way to eventually incorporate Fantastic Four/X-Men/Alien xenomorphs/Die-Hards/Avatars/Revenges of Nerds...

Fighting in the real world and fucking in the virtual fighting game!

“Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” still feels like a clumsy retcon title to me.
