“Is it true that there is a point on a man’s head where, if you shoot it, it will blow up?”

*thinks it over a moment*

I caught the director’s cut last month. The make-up was impressive and Danny Elfman’s score was terrific, but...can we talk about how shitty a villain Dr. Decker is? Not just as a bad person, but as a badly conceived character.

I saw Stripes for the first time last year. Some funny moments. Very clunky storytelling. Seriously, you can trace everything bad that happens in the film back to Bill Murray and Harold Ramis sexually harrassing MPs PJ Soles and Sean Young.

Soul had some awesome designs and affecting moments, but it will never not be distracting that the film had to turn into Monkeybone to get to them.

I have no doubt that Judy would’ve been wonderful in Annie Get Your Gun. Certainly better than Betty Hutton. If the stuff with the Native Americans doesn’t make you cringe (and it’s pretty bad), Hutton’s mugging will.

Watched this quite a bit. I distinctly remember two reruns airing in the mid-90s with ties to The Brady Bunch (the movie had just come out): one featured cast members (can’t remember which ones) and the other was a weird tribute to Susan ‘Cindy’ Olsen. Good times.

So it’s not just Chuck Woolery? Jesus H. Christ.

I know, right? It’s like Lorenzo Semple, Jr. hated her guts or something. It’s a testament to Lange’s talent that she had a career after that.

So depressing that this film was ignored at Oscar time. Terrific work from Murphy and Snipes was hysterical. Can’t wait for Coming 2 America.

Also, Get on Up and The Girl on the Train. She and Taylor are pretty tight.

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:

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?
