Plus there are scenes like his dancing around with a bad haircut where you’re just like “why did nobody stop this from making the final cut?” It’s baffling.

Haven’t seen that, but the thing with Shakespeare is that we know so little about the man himself that any depiction of him in fiction is going to be basically made up (see also Shakespeare in Love).

Although some of that was the reverse problem. He was jumping like a cartoon character with a loose grasp of physics on the train, not like either the 80-year old man he was or the 40-year old man he was supposed to be.

Romancing the Stone is a cute film, sure, and it helped Danny DeVito develop a career beyond Taxi, which is certainly commendable (funny that Zemeckis had a role for DeVito in Romancing and his fellow Taxi actor Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future), but I’m not sure I would call it great. It was probably the best…

It’s the whole relying on faith as if that was a good thing not have have evidence bit that annoyed me.

I can take it or leave it. I didn’t like how it got all mystical in the end — although that was true to the book. Which was weird because it was written by Carl Sagan, who was no fan of mysticism in real life and wrote “The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark” which was all about how science and…

Okay, yes, I’ll include Who Framed Roger Rabbit? as great. I’m not a fan of Forrest Gump, though.

What I really don’t get about these shows like this and Dickinson is who they are for. Presumably anyone who would want to watch a show about Emily Dickinson or Jane Grey are people with some interest in history and would want a show that is reasonably historically accurate. I’m not demanding a documentary, some…

Zemeckis is the king of making basically one great movie (the original Back to the Future) and coasting on that through mediocre and just plain bad movies ever since.

Although realize that some of the Internet-related causes are older than you might realize. Craigslist started in 1995. That’s almost 30 years ago.

Craigslist. Seriously. It wasn’t that the Internet allowed more up to date news than once-a-day newspapers, it was that most newspapers were a classified ad publisher with some news articles attached. When classified ads were no longer a revenue source, newspapers were in trouble.

Okay, unlike Montana, I accept Georgia as a counter-example.

Is that an actual name, though? I mean besides Miley Cyrus’ character.

Yes, the whole thing (other than the brilliant design of the monster) was a cut-and-paste of Dracula, with exact replicas of the characters with new names, so much so that Stoker’s widow sued for plagiarism (and won!)

Isn’t it weird that the state names that are also girl’s names are all the ones that have two of them? Think about it: Carolina, Virginia, Dakota.

Man, the Phoenicians really knew how to play the long game.  Arranging their alphabet knowing the Greeks and then Romans would use it as the basis for their own alphabets, leading the Roman version to be adopted by many languages, including English, just for the sake of this joke was a killer move.

You shouldn’t make fun of people with IBS. They’re really badass!

No. That was Great Hill Partners, which purchased them in 2019.

Given enough alcohol, I’m sure a right-hander could manage a left-handed instrument despite how (literally) sinister the idea of a left handed instrument is.

I think what they mean is that this is the sort of article that they used to run when they were owned by trashy site Gawker (which was what, two ownerships ago?). It’s a bit weird tying this to Kinja, which is a commenting system which the site still obviously uses.
