I think Goonies is less beloved as a movie and more as a suburban preteen wish fulfilment for something more; the idea that in the secret parts of your own boring neighborhood adventure awaits, full of discovery, action, riddles and traps.

I think that’s just the US gross. And how the hell did Police Academy 2 earn more than Commando, the greatest action movie ever made?

We’re through the looking glass, people.

Headcanons I’m okay with because by and large people who post about them accept that they aren’t true, they just wish that’s how things turned out. Who among us doesn’t have a movie/show/game they wished turned out a little different or an ambiguous ending they want to have clarity? It’s stuff like this where people…

So what you’re saying is... this conspiracy goes all the way to the top?

I like how Snrub thinks!

Ironically, John Walsh (the guy from America’s Most Wanted) hosted a preview for the second part of “Who Framed Mr Burns” that specifically mentioned Homer looking like Krusty and the possibility they worked as a team.

Ah yeah Lynch, Burns Suit guy.

The real question is, did Maggie shoot Mr. Burns or was it really.....Mr. Snrub?

Actually, it wasn’t 15 years ago, as the article states.  It was 24 yea.....oh, Jesus. 

“But of course, for that ending to work, you would have to ignore all the Simpson DNA evidence. And that would be downright nutty."

I’m seeing double. One Krusty!

I love that bit in the commentaries where they discuss the early idea that Homer was Krusty, leading to this:

Using “I’m Bad” over the footage of Jordan’s 63-point assault on the Boston Garden was an inspired choice. Likewise closing the first episode with “Sirius.” I’m hoping that the music choices hold up over the course of the show.

The problem with the new trilogy is that each film is a craven apology for the preceding installment. Rather than desperately trying to course correct midflight, they should have sat down and sketched out a three-film epilogue to the story told in the six previous movies (because even the prequels, god help them,…

Except it wasn’t a mess from start to finish. It has issues, but it’s a good film overall.

Oh, I think you are being too harsh on Gilligan’s Island. Yes, it wasn’t Arrested Development, or anything else on that level, but compared to 90% of comedies today (where the “humor” is mostly lame sex or gross-out gags) the sort of innocent humor it has holds up well.

more murders are committed at 92° F than any other temperature...

Somewhere I have a 1939 issue of Amazing Stories that I bought because my great-uncle Don Wilcox (one of the most prolific SF writers of the 1940's, mostly forgotten now) had a story in it. An entertaining bonus in that issue was a letter to the editor from a then 18 year old Ray Bradbury snarking that the previous…

This is one of my favorite fifties sci-fi flicks, a genre I absolutely adore. It works very well here and there and not so well much of the time. If you can take it all in stride with tongue in cheek it can be wonderful fun, especially at its goofiest, and I would strongly recommend seeing it in 3D in a theater if you…
