Remember him? Sure. Have a perfect memory of his face decades later, without the aid of photographs? Not so likely.

Just gonna use this as an excuse to post about my dream Bond movie, which I am confident I could never, ever, ever get financed:

No mention of Kill, Baby... Kill, the Mario Bava movie from which Fellini lifted the creepy blonde girl with the white ball?

Thank you for a very thorough and thoughtful reply!

What an unprovokedly snotty, condescending response.

The opening paragraph of this review reminded me of a college creative writing professor I had who cited this story as her “the one everyone should learn how to write based on,” and took a very snooty attitude toward any students who contemplated lowering ourselves to mere genre work...

First off, detail nitpick. The Others was a largely Spanish production, so it doesn’t really count as part of “Hollywood’s then ongoing pillaging of Spanish horror films and directors.” This was just a Spanish filmmaker making a Spanish movie intended for an international audience.

When I saw this on the big screen, the reels were projected in the wrong order, so the movie played 1-4-3-2-5. It was intriguing, and I was terribly disappointed when I saw the movie in its intended sequence.

You’re not wrong. The claim that this common misquote only dates back 25 years is absurd.

I clicked on this article because the headline said “The Goops,” and I assumed it was about the band. I was like, “Wait, they’re still thing?” I actually got kind f excited.

Millennial initially referred not those born around the millennium, but those who started college at or shortly after the turn of the millennium. I tend to self-identify as Gen-Y or The MTV Generation, a fairly narrow window between the two longer-lasting groups on Gen X and Millennial.

I’ve also been told that, based…

Maybe because that could be read as positing circumcision as the default, with non-circumcision requiring a modifier?

Bart’s bad behavior doesn’t cause the friction; Ned’s mentoring of Bart causes it, but the emotional reasons for that are given no explanation at all. Either way, though, in well crafted character-driven drama (which is what The Simpsons historically was first and foremost), the characters’ underlying relationships…

The point was that it is external to the Bart/Homer dynamic.

It’s probably gotta be Return of the Living Dead. That thing is wall-to-wall lines that are useful in everyday conversations.

Junior and senior year of high school, my two best friends and I probably communicated 60% in Clerks quotes.

I love “Uglatto!”

Well, now I gotta go back and freeze frame that, because I’m dying to see which Devo track was listed!

EDIT: Oh, it’s posted just below! I would not have expected “Uglatto”! That’s a very deep cut!

My immediate thought was that they’d likely be skipping over anything where she contributed to the Satanic Panic, but you’re right, she has a lot of other sins still to answer for.

The script was fundamentally flawed, but matters could have at least been improved by some imaginative direction. So much of the movie is staged, shot and edited in a purely perfunctory way that I found myself genuinely distracted by the blandness.
