I mean, Winona Ryder was already in a haunted mansion movie back in 1988.

I thought the reference was about the original 70's Black Lightning. I’m probably way off, but that was my first thought when this scene popped up.

And the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, though having no affiliation to Universal, got it’s name due of the popularity of Jurassic Park at the time the team was founded in 1993.

Cousin Larry is also the next door neighbor in Ghosts. I’m here for the Cousin Larrynaissance.

Honest question: is Spawn still popular? In comic book accounts that I follow, I never see Spawn mentioned, Maybe I’m in a bubble, but I don’t know anyone who reads Spawn and I never even see fan cosplay of any version of the character. He’s just a character that represents the 90's to me like Gambit or Aeon Flux.

I know for a fact that I watched the movie, but I have absolutely zero memory of it.

Filipinos 🤝 Latinos getting the reference.

Hah! It would have been way more accurate if she spoke with some English words and lots of lip pointing.

That scene still cracks me up because, aside from it being a pleasant surprise to Filipinos, you can tell the writers REALLY tried to keep the immigrant grandma’s dialogue completely Filipino.

The script went into translation deep dives when the average Filipino would just say the English words for things like…

It was obvious from the trailer that the film looks basura, but it won’t stop Filipino Americans from watching this because a.) my people are immune to bad movies, and b.) Filipinos crave anything that screams “Filipino Pride.”

Not sure how good it will fare in theaters in the Philippines though because it’s, um, a…

God, I love this show.

And Stallone is big on protecting his image but is a Trump guy who can be prone to go on rants without thinking things through first.

No surprise that Dolph is the bigger guy here.

People also compared Stranger Things to Goonies when it came it.

It’s inevitable to use ST as reference to viewers unfamiliar with the comics because the lead characters being kids from the 80's doing genre adventure stuff (with 80's music themes).

Non-comics readers need something to latch onto as visual comparison…

Wait, so Chewie (named after a certain co-pilot) was switched to Goose, who is possibly named after another certain co-pilot?

If the guy ended up meeting his demise, “I can fight emus” are amazing last words.

It’s the last line of Stray Observations in the article:

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Elvis also “making real money”? I’ve been surprised at how well its stayed in online discourse as well as the box office numbers domestic and international.

I was expecting articles about it being a major studio loss by now.

Unfortunately, with Danny and Ed now alone together under Mars rubble, we’re going to get a whole lot more of Danny drama with him finally spilling his secret affair with Ed’s wife. I can’t wait :/

It’s crazy that we’re so far from the early 2000's that a description for who Karl Rove is was needed. I feel so old.

Lopez, early on, was making brave choices in picking interesting films. I don’t know if her acting was really that good, but I found her movie career interesting (her music isn’t my thing, tbh) and was curious at where it will lead her and how much more she’ll improve at her craft.

Now, she seems more of a manufactured…
