I don’t know, make tasteless, intensely problematic, and hopelessly outmoded prison rape jokes, thinking they’re funny in 2023?

This is a good take although I feel it was the later aughts and early 2010s that did in movie-theatre comedy for me.The early aughts had a string of amazing, generational comedies that a lot of people deride these days but were incredibly popular an successful and people still quote them, even if its a guilty…

RR’s work on the Star Wars shows was so half-assed, so clunky and amateurish, that I thought I was watching a student film. 

TO be fair - Turner and Hooch was Hanks’ first movie after hew went big with, well, Big. I imagine he was under tremendous pressure to get a streak going lest Big was seen as a one-time win. (Also if you see the film, he plays a prick). 

“That movie holds a particular fascination with the public that we do not share”
- The Coen Bros.

Hasn’t he had some other significant health issue in the past twenty years? I remember seeing him in a mid-2000s episode of Curb and being shocked by how infirm he looked, compared to how he looked just a few years before. But that was back when this info wasnt as easy to find. 

Oh that’s not an option for him. The defendant has made it clear she wont settle. I’m thinking these are desperate/long shot defenses because he’s fucking dead to rights on this - having admitted it in a fucking book along with heaps of other evidence. He may be well and truly proper fucked and this is what that looks…

For many, clapping is almost involuntary, like laughing or coughing.

I checked out Vulture and ... is it worth paying for? It’s not expensive, but on the few articles I clicked on, there’s no comments. 

True, it’s more a rule of thumb and not a hard and fast fact. I think the bigger sign is when multiple trailers use the exact same joke. That’s usually a red flag. But this movie is giving me live action Speed Racer vibes.

Good call! I remember feeling weird coming out of that theatre, and I was around 11 at the time as well. Part of me was assuring myself I liked Ghostbusters 2, but another part of me felt like a bully stole my lunch money and I was so confused.

Ive actually witnessed a full on legit university debate on this. Apparently the opposing view is - clapping is for each other as much as it is for the performer. In fact our brains have a deep, primitive response to clapping and joining in on clapping, a communal exchange between clappers that is MORE significant…

“What is a dependable sign a comedy movie is terrible?”
A: There’s very few jokes in the trailer and they’re not good

They hated it because the director-duo who made the movie were impossible to work with. You can’t embrace the camp if you’re working a miserable job for a horrible boss. 

That’s one more hit than Vanilla Ice

Moana is a cut above most Disney movies in that it actually represents and respects a culture that has been wholly misrepresented and abused by popular culture, up to and including the recent travesty Cameron Crowe’s “Aloha”. There is just no end to the reductive depictions of Hawai’i as little more than a resort for…

I can’t, either, ironically. I just remember seeing them at an LCD concert on Randall’s island but i stayed far away from the stage, and then at some random festival they were on the same stage as bloc party. So i went with those examples.

If you don’t know Feist, then I’m assuming you didn’t watch TV in the 2000s. She had (if i remember) two songs repurposed for massive, ubiquitous advertising campaigns, including “1-2-3-4" for Apple, that catapulted her to stardom.

I get that and I was expecting this reply, but frankly, it’s always down to storytelling. Whether the show is character-focused, montage/mise-en-scene-whatever focused, theme-focused, whatever your focus is, you still have to tell a story.

I did finally finish it after taking 2-3 weeks in between the last few episodes. I enjoyed the ending - especially the derpy death - but aside from that, the rest was incredibly predictable; there weren’t the surprises offered by season 1. It seemed every episode of season one had a pivot or surprise that both built…
