Some will tell you he peaked with the one-two punch of Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Personally, I think we hit peak Brooks with High Anxiety.

Ah Tim Kazurinsky... of all of Ebersol’s cast members who weren’t Murphy or Piscopo, he’s at or near the top of my list for folks who deserved far more recognition than they got. Or at least something with a little more pizazz than a bunch of Police Academy sequels.

The flipside, when you think about it, is that Disney movies relentlessly push the message to your kids that you could die suddenly, violently, and with little warning. And while it might take them a while to adjust, soon they’ll manage to get along just fine without you! Not only that, but they’ll meet cool new…

If history is any indication, I’d bet on them making money hand over fist.

When I was little Disney seemed like the coolest company ever. Everything they were associated with just seemed awesome. Now that I’m older they’re bigger than anyone back then would have ever imagined they would be. And yet they make so very little I have any interest in or use for.

When you say slideshow, I say “no go.”

Question: Is this the first time Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus have worked together since being on SNL about [gasp - feeling very old] about 40 or so years ago?

Not very easy, or they probably would have done it by now. Incidentally, the noise of it isn’t a big deal. Most of the gunshot noises you hear in movies are added in post production. The thing that keeps fake guns from looking realistic isn’t really the smoke or the muzzle flash (those too can now be added in post).…

Jaws definitely has elements of horror, as demonstrated by the Quint devoured scene. But that doesn’t make it predominantly a horror movie, any more than any script with a few humorous moments in it is rendered a comedy.

As long as there’s a drop in the well, they’re going to return to it endlessly.

At this point, it’s clear that joining the MCU is an important feather in the cap for basically every actor in Hollywood (or Broadway, for that matter).

So you’re asking reporters in the internet age to ask thought provoking questions that break new ground, rather than trying to rehash tired old controversies that are still good for a few cheap clicks? I have a landmark bridge for sale if you’re interested...

The MCU is the reason that movie theatres survived lockdown.

When you’re down to relying on AV Club to get anyone to care, you’re in a lot of trouble.

I mean, if Cate Blanchett stinks in your movie I think it might be the movie’s fault. She does a way worse job than LaBeouf.

“...that’s why the malaise at the beginning...”

Of all the issues with Indiana Jones: The Sequel We Must Never Speak of Again, LaBeouf’s character is like, way way WAY down the list. Sure, LaBeouf himself has spent the years since the sequel in a long-running performance art piece wherein he attempts to turn himself into a literal walking, talking douchebag. But…

Well I do think her mother, though only briefly glimpsed is the other component - how much is what Tracy wants, and how much of her drive is what her mother has convinced her she needs, which is in part a reflection of what needs/desires have gone wanting in her own life?

I’m not going to re-write my entire post above, but Tracy hardly stepped on anybody. The only way she “alienated” people was in wanting to be president and acting like it, rather than pretending like she was too cool to care. All this after she got sexually preyed upon by a person in a position of trust, and then…

It was good, but it was more a sequel to the book (where Tracy was semi-sympathetic) rather than the movie (where she was a monster...)
