Yes. Welcome to the experience of watching Pom Poko. Tanuki testicles also have a lot of surrounding Japanese folklore.

Disney ballsy enough for this Bambi & Thumper duo

Come on. Copying the structure of Kurosawa films for Star Wars? When have they ever done that?

I mean, Anakin was very clear about the negatives of sand. Coarse, rough, etc. 

Oh man, that means you missed out on the era here when the comments were full of Stride Mothers working from home and buying F1 McLarens! We got some good memes out of those bizarre word-soup bots.

Jesus christ the tweet was bad enough, but did Planters cut you a check to write this?

The commentary track for Big Trouble in Little China is also great.

that was my experience, too. but i kept being pulled back to trying it, and once i got past the first rather biblical part, omg. it’s soooo good.

Wait, who’s the one person who was difficult to work with? Dish! Dish!

King Of The Monsters was fairly goofy and played very much like a 60's kaiju flick, but it wasn’t devil-may-care wacky the way Skull Island was. Skull Island is the one time Hollywood has made a kaiju film that perfectly nails their spirit. Right down to extremely overqualified actors showing up to talk about big dumb…

The human story was pretty serious but only made up about a third of the movie. It was pretty rad, definitely more over the top monster action than the first. Worth a watch!
