That l0ok and the beats Akroyd takes when he tries to shoot himself in the Santa suit are the funniest bits to me. When those are done, I usually watch something else.

I have always loved this shot.  He plays it so perectly.

I am not a big Disney guy, but this is definitely my favorite, loved the two leads, obviously price is fantastic as a scene chewing villain, and I love how Ratigan isn’t perfect but is clearly very insecure and not as smart as he tries to make everyone beleive. But still terrifying. And Basil is great, his highs and…

I feel that way about House on Haunted Hill. Him and Carol Ohmart were amazing as the super rich playboy and her as a gold digger.

This is my favorite comment in quite some time

Guessing, but surely it’s exactly _because_ most of the kids are over there in TikTok land (is that a thing? I’m old too) that some of the kids are going to think that zines are a wonderful idea?

For me, the scariest character Stephen King ever created was in the Tommyknockers: Bobbi Anderson’s sister, Anne.

Tommyknockers does not rule. I think it was the first King that disappointed me, and for that I’ll never forgive it, despite it inuring me to later betrayals.

Christ, The Shark-Infested Custard was dark. Absolutely could not believe those last pages, the guys chuckling over the dead body, and the book ending on a supremely horrific “Well, here we go again!” gag.

Willeford is a total master, but, uh, Wow. That was commitment. I bought that book to give to a friend for…

I assumed The Asshole Gene was just a guy called Gene. And that wasn’t originally the name he chose for his act, it’s just how MCs insisted on introducing him, so he went with it to maintain the name recognition.

In addition to that documentary, The Assassination of Fred Hampton: How the FBI and the Chicago Police Murdered a Black Panther should be required reading in this country.

“The Asshole Gene” would be even better if the band was formed out of a grudge against a specific guy. “Here’s another song about how much Gene fucking sucks! 1 2 3 4!”

I have no idea what MTV does these days that Beavis & Butthead can riff on. Is it still all shitty reality shows all the time?

Had to google the former.

Right? That kid had bigger balls then most Hollywood action hero’s. Its such an incredible moment in an already incredible film.

It worked well enough for the British sitcom “Yes, Minister”/”Yes, Prime Minister” - just referring to the two as the Government and the Opposition, and drawing from policies that both sides were known for to stay neutral.

Recently rewatched Contagion for obvious reasons and they did this too, stating that the average person touches their face 2-3k times per day, which would basically mean your hand was constantly on your face for all waking hours.

I just watched Soul last night, and part of why I enjoyed the scenes set on Earth more than those in The Great Before is because the latter felt very derivative of Defending Your Life to me

“What do we learn?”

“I dont know sir.”

“I don’t fucking know either.”

“I guess we learned, not to do it again.”

“Yes sir.”

“I’m fucked if I know what we did.”
