Be careful! You'll fall off!

Do you always nonsequitur? There may be medication for that now!

Shhh! You'll break his brain with the concept of 'Intersectionality'!

And a bunch of other Distinguished Miniseries like that. And Hannibal. Voice acting too — everything from the English-language version of Princess Mononoke to Robot Chicken. This is clearly not someone who has any fannish credentials!

What, you weren't absolutely enthralled by his Californication performance as a self-centered middle-aged writer who is mysteriously attractive to all women, even the one divorcing him, as we get to watch his sex fantasies play out as a backdrop to his angsty family issues in a disturbingly white Southern California

I am a woman, and you couldn't pay me to go see The Intern (I would take the money and go see MMFR instead!) I was once trapped and obliged to sit through most of In Her Shoes, and I thought I was going to have a stroke. Don't assume that we are a hive mind!

That would be Dirty Grandpa, apparently.

It's one of those things where the same individual has different public names, depending on the genre they're working in. Like writers who use one name for Mystery, another for SF, another for Romance…

"Bang [him] like a screen door" seems to be most popular among the women of my acquaintance…

Don't worry, Hollywood has always been able to insert a love triangle into an adventure novel adaptation, when not provided with one to exploit! Mad Magazine used to make jokes about it, back in the day.

Since the meat of the story was the heroine and her mentors being chased around bleak modern times by erzatz Terminators, it sounds like Bird & Lindelof didn't even manage to escape that trap themselves!

You had me at "Peter Weir" and implicit ocean scenes (still bitter about the lack of Master & Commander sequels…)

If the rusted-out Subaru's a-rockin'…

So it's basically a better remake — better as in "more plausible," not "artistically good" — of Red Dawn.

And supervillains!

Soylent Green II: What Trouble With Tribbles?

It really isn't that bad…unless hyper-realistic yet exaggerated in the manner of Art Deco fashion plates, sometimes customized to be anatomically correct, and then dressed like Dark Fae or Final Fantasy characters, bothers you.

Or — follow the rules, BUT also Befriend The Evil Sorcerer's Minions, so they will not only help you escape but turn the villain's tables on them. Works in the old stories every time — and if you play your cards right, you get an awesome mount, powerful artifacts, and possibly a handsome prince as bonuses!

Or Laurel and Hardy! Also the Marx Brothers…

Gaslight. Forget monster movies, that has to be one of the most frightening films ever made — is the enemy inside your house…or your head? And just how far can the Sweet Innocent Victim be pushed, eh? (Not to mention that Angela Lansbury playing Repressed Sexy Lawful Evil at 18 was just as terrifying as she was 18
