I feel the same way about “Simply Irresistible”.

“Perhaps that’s not the best plan?”

Warm-ish take: as rightly revered as Frau Blucher is, I consider Nurse Diesel (of High Anxiety) a funnier character. Pretty much everything about the character slays me: the way she slurps her fruit cup in front of Dr. Montague (“Thirty seconds. You’re so strict!”); her constant clenched-teeth line delivery...hell,…

Compare this with that ridiculous bit at the end of ASM2 with the Rhino in his mech suit and the kid standing up to him. Some might see this as an awesome moment, but let’s be real here: even without the suit, Rhino could turn the kid into a human stain. And no one in the assembled crowd pulls the kid to safety or…

Opening night, stuffed to the gills (went with a youth group). There was this weird kid next to me imitating the stuff on screen. He reminded me of the goggles kid in A Christmas Story. And oh, the noise, noise, noise, noise!

Except for the ‘cocaine’ line which caught me by surprise, I didn’t laugh once at the pilot. Maybe you need to be attuned into the 30 Rock style (never got into it), but it seemed like the lines had the cadence of jokes (to paraphrase another NBC show) without the burden of actually being funny. The annoying…

I watched the entire run because I loved the premise. The show was okay, but it felt like the following conversation showed up with minimal variations roughly five times an episode:

Christ, WW84 wasn’t even the worst superhero movie of last year.

Everything I’ve heard about this show paints it as a Mark Millar adaptation, but when it came to the more extreme stuff, the producers here didn’t have the stones to tell him ‘No’.

Wanting a protagonist (and a child, at that) to not be human garbage isn’t as big an ask as you make it seem.

You’re really going after me and not the wacko that listed the movie in the first place? Who does that help?

I strongly disagree with Cuties. And yes, I actually watched the film with the expectation that the people making a stink about it have only gone as far as viewing the trailer.

The way I hear it, that’s just what went down. Columbus vetted the parents of the child actors and they were all good people. I’m sure the Kit Culkin situation left him with battle scars.

I don’t hate this movie anywhere near as much as most do (it’s a good Jim Carrey movie, but a deplorable Dr. Seuss movie), but I can’t not give you a star. Great comment.

Sweet Jesus, that would’ve been boss. Burton and Danny Elfman even appeared in a mid-90s TNT special about the original cartoon (hosted by Phil Hartman!).

I can’t help but think that it made a huge impression on Damien Chazelle.

You can teach an old dog new tricks, but you can’t teach Madonna to act.

Again?

I think so, Brain, but I prefer Space Jelly.

Wonderful (and woefully underrated) movie. Bookended by some solid emotional beats and stuffed with great gags. One of Danny Elfman’s less-talked-about-but-still-damn-good scores, too.
