Well, at least it's a British Python quote that isn't "Bright Side of Life" or "What've the Romans ever done for us?"…

Well, with index up, it's still "I love you" in ASL sign-language, isn't it?

I thought it was the Hawaiian "no worries" gesture, that everyone else misinterpreted once Gene made all the kids think it was, oo, "demonic"?

And the writers went on to direct Howard the Duck. The prosecution rests.

What happened with Good Dino? The plot was SUPPOSED to be about how dinos have community village farms (ankylos thresh, tri-tops plant, etc.), and Arlo was a free-thinking teenage dino who wants to study the bugs that attack the harvest, rather than exterminate them. Spot would have been a young would-be…

Well, yes and no—Cars 2 didn't give us Mater: the Movie just because Lasseter -liked- the character. (Although he does a bit too much, with fondness for the "real-life" inspiration he met on Route 66.)
There seemed to be two schizophrenic plots in C2, and the one where Mater wandered into his spy caper has all the…

Hampton's Netflix-Crow started out classic, but now he's starting to fall into Bill's trap of being LOUDLY self-amused at his own jokes, most of them just variation's on "This movie's awful!—Look at that character, that's how I feel about this movie!". That's probably the "smugness" that Abra's referring to.

They're trying to do the comic's job of Biting the Hand That Feeds Them (okay, so they've done Kickstarter jokes too), just like the cable years on Comedy Central had an obsession with cable jokes about Jack Perkins, A&E, Lovejoy, and Peter Graves on Biography!
And the jokes about movie deals in Season 7, when they…

There's a great moment when Carol is hamming up her "Sunset Boulevard" Nora Desmond character, as she glamorously swans into the room, throws back her string of pearls, and the weight immediately throws her falling back to the floor on her seat. :)
You COULD NOT SEE a Tina Fey or Amy Poehler do that today. Being…

Whoever the NY Times review was complaining about, get over it.

I'll see your curtain dress, and raise you Tim Conway utterly -destroying- Lyle Waggoner, as a German interrogator with a Hitler hand-puppet…

When we all complained that "Women aren't funny!" back during the Ghostbusters remake, what we meant was that female comics today are too intent on being snarky and hostile to "prove" some social issue…
And are too afraid to just CLOWN it up old-school like Carol (or Gilda Radner on the first-season SNL) could do. …

Fleischer Popeye (30's B/W, with Fleischer's surrealism, and Jack Mercer's muttered ad-libs that make you realize Robin Williams WAS doing a good imitation): Just above Disney and under Looney. Oh, and the insane Tex-style Dan Gordon wartime BW's in there, too.
Famous Studios Popeye (50's color, which had Casper's…

Friz Freleng thought over-the-top ethnic stereotypes were in and of themselves HILARIOUS. (DePatie-Freleng also animated the Frito Bandito of 70's ads, which -did- have to be pulled off of TV after ethnic complaint.)
Even though Speedy is just slightly to the right of Roger Rabbit and Spongebob Squarepants on the…

Billy Wilder understood one thing that today's shock comics don't:
If you're going to be politically incorrect about something that deserves to be…GO FOR IT. :) (The Seven Year Itch's happy chauvinism also falls neatly under this rule.)
Like the Stooges and Spike Jones against WWII Germany, every gleefully lowbrow…

Warner keeps thinking that because they can't market the "new" hyperactive smug-crapola reboots (like the recent Cartoon Network series), that we've "forgotten" about the vintage Looneys. No, Warner, the problem is that we DO remember them…Do you??

According to IMDB, it is happening in June, because….Lionsgate/Summit tends to get a little too excited when they get a bit of attention.
Oh, and they got the Jem & the Holograms director from Directors-R-Us, if IMDB's listing is to be trusted.

I've never met any single REAL Bugs Bunny fan in existence who can stand to watch more than five seconds of Space Jam at a stretch.
I know there's this persisting myth because Warner keeps desperately trying to persuade us there are, but, y'know…I just haven't. Do they exist?

The good thing is that we DO have this subconscious desire to compare Zootopia to Wreck-It Ralph, and not to "Greatest movie since Frozen/Lion King/Beauty & the Beast/other decade-iconic Disney movie we liked because it was validatingly popular and symbolized the last time we didn't mind going to see them in a…
