If anyone answered that poll honestly, they would be carried away.

Max was forced on the series by execs who thought it needed “more teens” or some nonsense. A lot of fans hate Max, but I thought they did fine blending her into the show.

It does include Return of the Joker, unless they changed that.

What I don’t understand is when the light seems to be coming from a cel, not the background. How can it be “backlit” when that’s impossible?

Ah yes. The 2000s business gimmick of the “Hot Gamer Girl Mascot.” Her, Lisa Foiles, and I think Olivia Munn started out in that role as well. I wonder if Foiles is dead.

Huh, it was on mine. I win!

DID YOU NOTICE WHAT SCENT??

Duckman would be pretty hard if they don’t outright reboot it, considering they ended the show on the most irritating cliffhanger possible as a deliberate joke. They didn’t actually have an answer.

There’s a Firestarter 2 (Rekindled!) but it doesn’t have Drew.

They were also unflinchingly realistic about it. Based on every other TV show you’ve ever seen, you assume the couple who’s on the rocks when the series opens will eventually patch things up and fall back in love, but...they don’t. Season 3 ends with their divorce.

I don’t know what you guys heard, but despite Chumbawumba being a political band, Tubthumping is about the night they saw their next-door neighbor come home so drunk, he kept falling down trying to open his door while singing”Danny Boy” off-key.

AHAHAHAHA! VALIDATION! VICTORY! They said it was just nostalgia talking, but now the youths agree with me! We finally have proof 80s culture stood the test of time and has never been topped! AHAHAHAHA!

Tintin is an underrated classic.

I was in the target audience for Hook and my impression was the same as Hassenger’s — it was made more for dads than kids.

They got that for free; that’s her real laugh. The Pretty Woman scene was an outtake.

Choosing to skip PA this week is weird, given that it’s about Kotick / Activision and this site is normally ALL OVER that stuff.

I’m barely here -- I check in every now and then, look at the front page, shake my head and leave. I’ve been other places but I’m not sure where to go. As far as I know an intelligent site for film nerds with in-depth articles simply doesn’t exist anymore.

Because if it outsells the Series X, Microsoft’s next console won’t have a disc drive and physical media will die, and then a lot of games that people worked hard on will simply vanish into nothing whenever the company decides not to host them anymore. We’re trying to prevent a cruel future!

Dave sure thought it was. He tells a story about cruising down the road with the radio blaring and suddenly this new song came on, and this woman started screaming and yelling, and Dave thought “wow, she’s really angry! I wonder what that’s about—————-ooooooooohhhhhhhh.”
