Tolkien considered the books to be unfilmable (and they were at the time) so in his mind it was free money. 

I bet even he couldn’t figure out what the deal was with the blue wizards, or if the first age and third age Glorfindels were the same guy

Yes, it's true. This man has no dick.

EVERYONE!!!!!!!

“Cats and dogs living together!  Mass hysteria!”

“You’re a funny guy, Sully. I like you.  That’s why I’m gonna kill you last.”

That’s the Tom Jung poster that Lucas didn’t like. He brought the Hildebrandts in to do a version that was brighter and “more comic book-y.”

Yeah, even setting aside how shitty that song was, I’ll never understand George Lucas’ drive to work towards photo-realistic CGI and then not only have them act like goofy cartoons, but film them like goofy cartoons.
I mean, look at this shit:

this scene also manages the impressive feat of giving C3PO a genuinely moving moment in the spotlight. it also highlights the problem with this movie, when that moving moment is completely undone 15 minutes later, just like every moving moment in this movie.

I’m a bit salty about no Soundgarden, Superunknown is easily one of the top records of the decade and one of the great all-time albums (for me). If Pearl Jam and Nirvana make it their first time, Soundgarden should as well, if we’re going to discuss the Seattle impact on the era.

How the hell is T Rex just now being nominated? Glaring oversight.

If I am understanding correctly, 1 and 3 were done by the Hildebrandts, but I’m still not clear on 2. Its confusing because 2 looks alot like 1, just with the correct likeness.

The artwork, not the actual poster. Far as my research shows, this is what the actual poster looked like in 1977:

You mean this one?

Nope. This is the full poster.

That date stamp on the bottom corner is clearly from 1993, Sherlock.

When it comes to comedy in video games, the golden standard is really Monkey Island.

Monkey Island (and its first sequel MI2: LeChuck’s Revenge) does everything right. Creates a believable internally consistent universe with some zaniness and just lets the concept work on its own. It doesn’t try to be off the wall…

I’ve found a lot of great moments of comedy in videogames. Ezio’s mother shouting “Besides vaginas!” at him in Assassin’s Creed 2, for example, or overhearing a drill sergeant berate recruits with an erudite lecture on Issac Newton in Mass Effect. Or some of the bits of corporate satire in the 2016 Doom -…

Kinda like all the baby girls called Khaleesi... Ooops! 

Honestly 80% of the reason that I have a soft spot for the weird 2008 Miami Vice movie is that Farrell clearly made a decision to neither ape Don Johnson’s mannerisms nor condescend to the (frankly kinda silly) material.
