I remember a radio ad for the film I heard when it was in theaters. It was a guy with a loudspeaker warning people away from going to see the movie, talking about how crass and tasteless the humor is, possibly even quoting some negative reviews, and you could hear the crowd increasingly flocking to the theater the…

> Richard’s early subplot about not having his own apartment, for instance, doesn’t go anywhere important enough to justify its inclusion in the film and ends up as filler.

Actually, what happened was that the hitman called when he arrived at the dock on a payphone, looking for directions to the beach house, and Bernie answers the phone later, so the answering machine had already picked up and started recording. Bernie thinks the hitman is coming to kill the two guys, so give directions…

Does that listing for Amazon separate out the “Prime” streaming, and the stuff available for rent/purchase? Because I don’t think the Prime subscription streaming servicehas that many titles, but I could see if you include the rent/buy stuff Amazon overall would.

Do you have a TV? Goodwill stores have DVD players for, like, $10.

HBO gives the show a budget. As long as they deliver shows within that budget, HBO isn’t going to care what the money is being spent on. Also, delaying the Youtube posting of stories means WBD sees enough value in the show that they think people will sign up for HBO and/or Max just to see it sooner, so that’s actually…

Fun fact: “drinking the kool-aid” comes from the Jonestown massacre, where Jim Jones convinced a lot of his cult members to drink poisoned Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid. So it’s short-hand for being so uncritically committed to something as to unquestioningly drink poison.

To be fair to McHale, the dislocated shoulder was during the filming of a scene where McHale’s character was practicing boxing by punching Chase’s padded hands, and Chase kept goading McHale to punch harder between takes. So McHale punched the padded hand as hard as he could with his left (McHale’s right handed), and…

I mean, considering the floor wasn’t cleaned all day, if that, and who knows when the seats were last cleaned, having sex in a movie theater probably is better remaining a fantasy than a reality. 

The point wasn’t that it can’t be a good movie, or at least one that gets awards, but that it just is really unexpected. Like, a Reddit post COULD get an award for really good writing, but nobody is expecting that from a Reddit post.

I actually liked Broadchurch season 3, but it was because it was a new case. Some of the existing characters seemed a bit shoehorned in. 

I dunno, it’s a riddle.......r

Some More News touched on it a bit in their video “Why Are Modern Blokcbusters So.. Not Very Good?”

To be fair, “immediately reverse course” is basically what Lucas did with ROTJ after ESB, what with Death Star 2 and Ewoks. 

You’re forgetting Flight of the Navigator, which was a PG movie released by Disney in 1986. The Black Cauldron was also PG in 1985.

Fun fact, Larson originally gave Norman a few points in the comic, but changed because he thought it sacrilegious to suggest someone could even score a single point against God. 

John Neely Kennedy was reading from the book Gender Queer as part of an argument to ban it from libraries.

The previous show WAS a Disney production. It was produced by Marvel Television, which Disney owned at the time. Just because it didn’t air/stream on a Disney-owned service/network doesn’t mean it wasn’t a Disney production. 

The article sites a production source referencing “500 jobs” for the show, so it does seem to be hundreds of jobs, which seems to be nuts. But I think there’s a live band, backup dancers, a camera crew for each contestant practicing, etc. It likely adds up. 

Why would he have a Famicom anyway? It should be an NES if anything. Although it also doesn’t look to be connected to a TV.
