True, but isn't that an unfair standard? Goodfellas is probably on the short list of movies people are going to be watching 500 years from now, assuming we haven't nuked ourselves and handed control of the world over to super-intelligent apes.

I move that we instate a set of basic requirements in order for someone's actions to qualify as a prank, rather than just regular, garden variety asshole behavior.

"We just had better pilots than the Friday the 13th reboot. Actually, let's face it, Friday the 13th has never been good and we didn't really want to contribute to its continued existence. I'm saying, fuck Friday the 13th. I'm sick of that shit."

Sure, but most of that stuff wasn't Scorsese's in the first place. A lot of his most famous visual moments are cribbed from elsewhere and he'd be the first to admit it. It's just that Goodfellas is a part of people's reference pool and the films Scorsese was referencing are not.

True fact: The clothes he had on in Jabba's palace were also from a guy who was, at the time, frozen in carbonite.

Not to mention the immortal Citizen Kang segment.

Goodfellas and American Hustle are the same movie? This is either a catastrophic failure to engage with either movie, or a triumph of close watching so complex that I can't parse it.

Today in "people getting excited for stuff they know they're not going to like"…

It was the 40 degree day kid from season 3.

The Toys R Us mascot?

Parties are not happy or unhappy; they are collectives of members with wildly varying viewpoints that all commonly agree, on some level, that government can be used as a solution for problems.

The Democratic Party is the party of conservative authoritarianism that must be dragged, kicking and screaming, to fulfill its self image of progressive politics. That much is sure.

I think I used that game as a soundtrack CD more than I actually played it.

You know… I love Alpha 2 dearly, but you can tell there's a problem with the game when, toward the end of its life, every match was basically jousting to see who could push custom and sweep their opponent first.

Isn't every Crow movie since the first one a remake?

Shit like this is why we need to reinstate the draft. Iraq was a wasted opportunity to give these people something to really cry about.

Izanebody else on board for this pun thread? Best billyve that I am.

That Tom Cruise still has a career after his littl detour into high-profile assholism would seem to suggest that he's bulletproof.

This movie is a lot better than several recent movies that are also struggling, yet already have sequels lined up through the next decade.

Re. overcomplication vs. home ports: it can be two things.
