Right. My understanding also is that the immense labor behind the movie magic that went into the original trilogy somewhat tempered Lucas’ worst impulses. Like, he had to work around the fact that his crew were building special cameras and giant puppets as a down payment on what I only presume was an irresponsible drug…

Pfft. Your average podunk cop wishes he looked half this good:

“Hey, where’d the Colonel go? Oh wait, nevermind, time to mindlessly shoot two dozen giant robots!"

Having spent a decent amount of time in “Metal Gear Solid” fan communities, there are way too many people who idolize the memes and iconography and slick weapons-fetish presentation of the series without actually understanding what the point of the story is.

Also, that shot looks incredibly like one of those old-timey natural curiosity photographs.

Yeah, I dunno what the GOP expected by railroading Garland out of a Supreme Court seat in favor of Gorsuch and a pair of clown shoes, but “Huh, I wonder if he’s going to take this offense personally?” really should have factored into that decision.

Thank you for posting this, because going off the header I was prepared to say, “This duck actually is not a very long boi," which would have made me look foolish. 

All I’m saying is that Vin Diesel had better take whatever likeness rights royalties from this and put them straight into making another “Riddick” movie.

You can’t fault McDonald’s here. These sorts of obsessively fanned pop culture tie-ins have a spotless track record.

And here I thought what lends “Law and Order” its unmistakable New York ambience was tossing a pittance to apartment owners for the privilege of having Dick Wolf swing by personally and knock a giant chunk out of your living room wall with a C-stand.

I have the sense she’d do really well at the sort of psychotic scenery chewing Dennis Hopper in “Speed” type villain roles that you don’t see a lot of anymore.

“I’m taking R2-D2, and he’s not a computer anymore. He’s a parrot.”

You’re one opioid pandemic too late with this comment.

Would that make “Debt of Honor” his swan song?

Amanda Seyfried’s career confuses me.

He looks like the evil scientist from “Red Faction.”

I don’t know what it is about this genre of game that fosters absurd cruelty, but my favorite thing in “RollerCoaster Tycoon” was to pick up guests and drop them onto an island filled with free concession stands and $20 porta-a-potties.

I’m fine with sitting through bad skits if it means that the world gets to see something as beautiful as “Pinbolus.”

But that’s not even phonetically correct!
