The show may well be one of the best ever TV spinoffs of an animated movie. The mythology they build off of the film is awe-inspiring. Please give it a chance.

Jessie was a good addition, in her moments of joy and scenes like “You don’t forget kids like Emily, but they forget you.”

Didn’t see it at the time, but I caught up with it later on. Roland Emmerich fully bought into his own hype after ID4. I like Matthew Broderick, but he did not belong in this role and even he seemed to realize this. The CGI looks crappy and then there’s the pathetically hacky ‘humor’ (Animal’s wife is a shrew! No one…

This reminds me of a Patton Oswalt bit where he talked about Halloween decorations becoming “a CSI on every lawn”; “What kind of blowjob is this guy not getting at home where he’s like, ‘I gotta show where the neckbone snapped’?”.

“I had to keep you awake long enough so that when you finally went to sleep...you’d never wake up again!”

Love this movie so much more than it probably deserves. Yes, the ‘heroes’ are snarky, whiny, conceited bitches and yet, that’s precisely what I loved about it.

Last year, I did a back to back re-watch of the original and the remake. Nancy’s line late in the original about thinking this is all in her head would seemed to have struck me as a better jumping off point for a remake than ‘Freddy is maybe innocent?’. Samuel Bayer’s music video background gives this an interesting…

Wasn’t that Ma?

Mr. Smith? Ruthless saboteur though he may have been, I doubt that Dr. Smith would appreciate being called ‘Mr.’, thank you very much.

I first caught the movie a few years ago. Impressive production values, wonderful chemistry between the leads, delightful supporting turns from Victor Garber, Kathy Bates and Bill Paxton...then the boat sinks, seemingly in real time. The momentum dies right then and there, compounded by Billy Zane going from jerk…

Had its moments, but between the imagined assassins and the kid taking not-Alexa’s advice to use a gun against his bullies, my ‘unintentional comedy’ sense is tingling. I might stick around, but not for reasons the production team wanted.

“They all look the same.”

“This is my new girlfriend, the most powerful lesbian in Hollywood.” That struck me as remarkably petty on Martin’s part. Doesn’t make Bowfinger unwatchable, but still, very unnecessary.

Ah, yes, the Bizarro world Independence Day. Whether or not Tim Burton collected the entire set of original Mars Attacks! cards in his youth, it’s hard not to assume he did after watching the movie. Just a goofy blast.

Goldblum would’ve crushed “That’s a lot of fish.”.

It was pretty funny, but the highlight of the episode? Carrey’s impression of Jimmy Stewart imitating Carrey in the ‘Joe Pesci Show’ sketch begs to differ.

Love this movie. So ridiculous and so much fun.

The first few seasons were kind of hit and miss (and, if I’m being honest, it’s hit or miss now; the weird-ass episodes of the last couple years make me think that maybe the show needed Fox execs breathing down their necks), but, no doubt about it: “Tearjerker” is when the show became appointment television, in my…

No shot from inside the car, but otherwise, that’s what happened.

I was just thinking, ‘Is this The Village?’.
