This movie single handedly started the BMX craze in Eastern Europe. Before this, we never even heard of BMXs, after this, every kid wanted one, except you couldn’t buy one, since we were still behind the iron curtain. A state owned bicycle company started manufacturing one (I have no idea how it was approved by the…

I think that’s the most popular opinion. It’s not good. Unlike his previous parodies, Brooks wasn’t in love with Star Wars, and it shows.

Truthfully, History of the World Part 1 is Brooks’ weakest movie.

At least I laughed at the original. In the 20-30 minutes I gave History… Part 2 before I turned it off, I didn’t laugh once.

Unpopular opinion: Much like the Star Wars franchise, itself, Spaceballs isn’t that great, overall, but it’s benefited from nostalgia as its primary audience first watched it when they were teens or younger. It features some gifted comedians and has a few good gags, but most of it plays like a bad SNL parody, and it…

It’s cool, I can walk to the bar.

And even though there’s 512 possibilities, my fucking router’ll still assign two of the eight devices hooked up to it the same fucking IP. 

C’mon, there’s only 512 possibilities (256 for x.10.23.26 and 256 for 10.23.26.x). nmap could scan all those in a few seconds!

10.23.26?  That’s not even a full IPv4 address!

Defending Your Life is fantastic!

I think Streep was starting to broaden into comedy deliberately to round out per prospects a bit. She’d done She-Devil and Death Becomes Her just before this, I think.

Hey, little girl! Wanna buy a monkey?

Ed Wood is the best film of 1994. This is the hill I’ve chosen to die on.

Nah, the best film of 1994 was the Chris Elliott vehicle “Cabin Boy”.
