I have to wonder whether the script's less-than-stellar reviews will have any effect, probably a year-and-a-half later, on Broadway.

If I manage to see this, it'll be my first Kenneth Lonergan—a writer who is *beloved* in some circles. Hoping it lives up to even half of those expectations :)

No, the guy who directed THE LANGOLIERS.

Every time I hear about Buckaroo Banzai, I keep getting it confused with Banjo-Kazooie.

Oh, sorry, I forgot: I was learning the ropes in the trenches at my job that year.

You're dead-on with "went on too long"; "Equal Rights" and "Things in My Jeep" can get a laugh out of me, but WHY did they think they could get an ENTIRE SONG out of such tired concepts??

I disagree: I saw it twice and own the soundtrack, and it comes off as lazy.

This is my main memory of INUYASHA, too: "KAGOME!" "INUYASHA!" "KAGOME!!!" "INUYASHA!!!"

During the campaign, friends and others were posting the "Well, he never gon' be President now!" GIF, but I held off—just, you know, in case the horrific happened.

Tigger: "Look—a Tigger can call *another* Tigger 'Tigger,' but…"

"My name is Libby Cullman; this is my husband, Malcolm Black."
[Will Smith looks over at her]

Man, I immediately started worrying about Brian Wilson - who is 74, a lot older than I thought…

That was my immediate first thought, too :)

"There's nooooooooooo love / Like yoooooooooooooooour love…"

Looks like we've got material for the next SHREK movie!

Oh, gritty remakes. So Maid Marian will be… what, a prostitute?

Fun fact: The Metropolitan Opera's production of "Otello" last year was its first without blackface.

"…How *did* we [get here], Kronk?"
"Well, you got me. By all accounts it doesn't make sense."

Oh shit, the Mogwai are in this?? Sounds like the best movie of the year to me!
