You were not in the wrong; that was tacky, to say the least.

You are the rightest person to comment. Bravo!

Sturgeon’s Revelation: 90% of everything is crap.

Dan Castellaneta lifted it from Jimmy Finlayson, who was certainly using it on film well before 1945.

“Tastes like campfires smell” is a perfect explanation of why I love scotch.

Nick’s 2012-17 incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also ended when the show runners felt their story had reached its conclusion.

I’m fairly certain that Mr Glitch was suggesting that the statement could become prescient in that it could suggest a Democrat becoming president in 2020.

The best way to describe what I feel is like... having a friend complain over and over and over again about something, but then doing abso-fucking-lutely nothing about it, only to come back and complain about it some more.

I also found it insultingly heavy-handed and loaded with redundancies.

I will die with you on that hill, especially with regard to Snoke. With Rey, there is at least a question implied by TFA, but it was a question that was of far greater significance to the character than to the plot. With Snoke, the writing didn’t even bother to make it a question.

That actually is enough to justify it, as Movie Pass is cheaper than one matinee screening per month (at least going by LA ticket prices).

Well, after hearing Mondo Gecko use “Cowabunga,” he did try it out, and eventually he merged the two catchphrases into “Booyakabunga.” And in one future-set storyline, it had become “Booyakabungala” (presumably in tribute to Casey Jones). So, you know, it’s not like 2012 Mikey is without catchphrase versatility.

I’m with you on everything except the pod race. I find it annoying and interminable.

Because if something is accessible to children, it is by definition too unsophisticated for adults, apparently...

An important thematic point here, though, is that Luke wins without actually fighting. He finds, at some level, a peaceful solution, rather than using his laser sword to beat the bad guys.

I don’t agree with your opinion, but I damned well respect it.

Yeah, in some ways it feels like he was revisiting aspects of Reservoir Dogs, but bringing to it all the tools he’d learned to use in the intervening decades.

Is that weird. I thought Django Unchained was a solid flick, but The Hateful Eight for me ranks among Tarantino’s masterpieces. The story, characters, performances and visual style are all right up my alley, I guess.

Luke never planned to kill Ben; he had a moment in which he lost control, then regained it (like he did in Jedi), but unfortunately this time that one moment was enough to do permanent damage.

I once went to a (digital) screening of Poltergeist that was followed by a brief documentary. Because they doc was in 16:9, they opted to just show the movie in that aspect ratio as well. Zelda Rubinstein was in attendance (this would have been pretty shortly before she passed); I wonder if she noticed or cared.
