It had it’s moments.  Kirk kissing himself being described as “a lifelong dream” was pretty great.

Yep, I’m way more invested in how Ambrose’s house arrest/work release for failing to turn states evidence turns out than if Sabrina and Harvey work it out.
Also, Mrs Wardwell is a way better villain that this series deserves. She is helpful enough that the audience actually forgets it’s all to serve her purposes...

You are Wrong. It does not happen everywhere.

When I first saw this was being made my first thought was “what would possess an actor to try to take over a beloved role originated by Julie Andrews or Dick Van Dyke?”
In what universe are you not just “adequate”? Do you really think people are going to start wishing for a re-release of the original with Julie Andrews

That song got really overplayed for quite a few years in really inappropriate places.  It’s appearance on the “Shreck” soundtrack did way more damage long before Pentatonix got there.....

I remember reading a review of this movie that made the point that the entire plot revolves around the fact that you as the audience have to believe that Patrick Dempsey would find this random woman on the street who is covered in dirt and talking crazy and then bring him home to spend the night in the same apartment

Well, Zootopia is more focused on racism than sexism.  If the main character had been a bear instead of a bunny she should have had gotten way less shade than than if she were a man instead of a woman.

I first encountered her in Talladega Nights, where her character is the most connected-to-reality of any of the characters but not actually any less idealistic than her character in Enchanted. Catching her in a rerun of West Wing (where she plays a local when Tobi and Josh get lost in Indiana) was a bit of a shock.

I have this personal theory that you can tell how good an adaptation of X-Men you are watching by how necessary Cyclops is. Wolverine always gets all the fan worship, but he is the reckless outsider, that is what we are trained to love. Somebody has to get up every morning and do the stuff to keep the team together

I’m in agreement that the Drago’s relationship was one of the best parts of the film, but I might have liked a little more of a transition from their confrontation outside of the fancy dinner for them and Ivan’s change of heart during the match.

I took the Street Light as a metaphor for how little pull Rocky has anymore. Sure Philly put up a statue to past glory, but they won’t even answer his calls to do the bare minimum of their jobs for him anymore.

I used to do IT for (among other things) a clinic that fabricated artificial limbs for amputees. They employed 4 doctors, 8 “craftsman” that actually milled the parts, and another 8 people whose full time job was to fight the insurance agencies. I remember overhearing a call between one of those insurance fighters and

Not too long ago I came across a youtube channel that was demonstrating how to correctly perform a breast exam. They had a real woman as a subject, but taped photos of male nipples over her actual nipples so as to be in compliance with the community standards. Because as long as the images were of female nipples it

I’m running a Werewolf 20th Ann game set in Victorian England. A town is cast in ruin as the children dance among the bodies of the adults as a dapper spirit of cold laughs in the storm. Then the Werewolves show up. I feel a wacky wayside village coming up...

You would think they would be a bit more suspicious of Little Brutus’ old time hoagies.

Voltron is pretty great though.  I’d rather watch it (and this) than most of what is out there.

I took it as her responding to the call for help. She was very much a “follow the rules” type of ruler, and Glimmer’s Mom had officially sent for help. Probably for the first time in decades.

I always took Rorschach’s code as another trope being deconstructed. Lots of superheroes have codes, and the comics generally treat that as making them better people. “Great Power/Great Responsibility” sounds good but what does it actually *mean*? Its a good thing Peter Parker didn’t decide he was responsible for

Ok, all the crazy and the tacky in this are pretty next level, but just to clarify a point:
If I’m reading this correctly, the Bride’s stepmother is the Bride’s college roommate? Awkward Thanksgivings I’m thinking.

Old people have had decades longer to do and think every dirty thing you and your friends thought you invented.
Lots of them feel like the should be “proper” and so pretend that they didn’t, but get a couple drinks into them and they remember their “glory days”
