It kills me as a longtime moviegoer that several of the major releases every year are going to be part of some massive franchise that I’ll never catch up with.  Not being a comic book / superhero guy, that doesn’t leave a lot.  It’s probably also why Barbie and Oppenheimer crushed it - people who would skip every…

Oh, okay. Now I know why it sounded familiar.

Brother, why are you giving that gold away for free!? Talk to your union rep!

“How are we going to tie all these movies together?”

That’s funny, because I am straight up not having a good time every time I watch Friends! [Insert Statler and Waldorf laughing here]

Something can be a problem without being the biggest problem.

It seems to me that someone can only become fanatical like this if the circumstances allow it. I don’t know that I have the words to describe it accurately, but there’s a certain kind of psychological or emotional grounding that someone has to lack in order to become fanatical. If your emotional needs are being met, an…

We never got delivery because we lived in the country too far out even for pizza.  

It is the job of every individual human to be a good, caring and kind person, but the reason we have governments and laws is because often we are not.

There are only two Beatles left, and both of them are retired from acting, so this isn’t going to happen.

Ron, Disney Lawyers go after preschools for daring to have a mural featuring Disney characters. You declared open war on the corporation. At what point did you think this was wise? Disney Lawyers don’t believe in mercy, the mafia is kinder then an angry Disney Lawyer.  Enjoy!

This is a cowardly list, keeping Bill Cosby off of it. Say what you will about his crimes, but his place as the pre-eminent comedian of several generations cannot be erased. I don’t know that Louis CK ever had an actual comedy album, so his not being on this list isn’t as egregious, but you don’t have comedy as it is…

Charlie’s Angels was the Baywatch of its time. People watched mostly for the smoking hot leads.

Yea I think this is fair. The Man From U.N.C.L.E. bombed pretty hard too and that was actually a pretty fun and well-made movie. Hollywood overrates the value of refreshing decades-old IP. Even if they succeed like with Mission Impossible, I have doubts it has much to do with the franchise name at all.

I’m sure its all those Farrah Fawcett posters that girls had hanging in their rooms during the 70s...

Carrie Bradshaw was always a wish fulfilment surrogate. 

It’s like the fifth highest grossing movie of the entire past decade. And you’re mystified why he gets attention?

Note to self: Once I become Emperor, I will look for an Empress who grew up on a fluoride plantation.

I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that, as history often is. Revolutionary France was actually attacked by all of the crowned states of Europe during the Wars of the First and Second Coalitions. During these conflicts, Napoleon rose through the ranks to eventually wear the imperial crown.
