“And got . . . BIZZAYYY!”

I’ve always taken the surface read of his character as a soulless sellout but last time I watched it god damn if the food he has at his place doesn’t look delicious too. The speech he has about giving a tired guy after a long day of work a steak really humanizes him. 

We’ve seen FOTR every year since it first came out and jump at that scene every time still. 

The first Incredibles remains my favorite Pixar, I wanted them to make a sequel virtually since I walked out of theaters after seeing the first one, and yet this left me cold. After a 14 year wait, it just seemed disappointing that all they could do with the story is flipflop Helen and Bob’s plots from the first one.

RIP. Truly a man who bit his teeth into the ass of life. 

This was one of their very best seasons, and another case where once we got past Restaurant Wars, almost anybody left I would have been fine with winning.

He went right for the jugular with Cruz on his first tweet to him, too. Most people would sit on the “why are you kissing the ass of the man who called your wife a dog” until the right moment but Perlman went straight to nukes. 

Judd Apatow requests that you hold his beverage. 

Of all the odious things Cotton has done, this is still the first thing I think of when I hear his name, too.

Ha-HA!

Lancelot storming the castle of the singing prince is still a top-three, all-time laugh getter for me.

1987 was a banner year for the since-vanished phenomenon of the R-rated Blockbuster: Lethal Weapon, Untouchables, Predator, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Witches of Eastwick, and Robocop were all the must-see movies that year, most of them hitting in summer. For PG/P13 that summer, you had InnerSpace and then the seismic box…

Oh man. We saw it in theaters too, in 3d. I’d heard about the furnace scene and made it through that relatively intact. Then we get to the final scene and OOOFF. I just remember seeing every adult in that theater lifting up their 3D glasses to wipe their eyes and the sounds of rampant snuffling and snorting up through…

I have to say, the big emotional ending of TS4 landed with a thud for me. It just didn’t seem in Woody’s character at all and contradicted the whole point of 3. 

Goddamn, I teared up just READING this. “Daddy, what’s wrong with your eyes?” My then four year old daughter asked me when we watched this together the first time. Now I have to leave the room whenever they watch it, which is rarely because both of my kids can’t take that scene either. Add to that that my daughter is…

My college roommate at the time decided to move in to a new place with his girlfriend and they both made it clear that I wasn’t really welcome. I dragged my feet about finding either a roommate to replace him or a place with someone else until a week before our lease was up and had to move out. In a matter of days I…

Unfortunately this was a miss for our daughter, who shrugged indifferently when it was over. (The other heartbreaker for me was that she didn’t like Splash, either). 

Thank you. That scene literally triggered my puberty. I walked into that movie wondering if Man at Arms could beat Beast Man in a fight, I walked out really wanting Daryl Hannah to sit on my face. 

I’d like to counter your casting for Doc Antle with John C. Reilly in the role. They even have the same vocal cadence.

A few years back, Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table started carrying this line of plateware that featured a black cat with it’s back to the “camera”, looking back over its shoulder, its tail raised, and there was its pink butthole on full display. On a plate. Something you put food on. Imagine being at a dinner party,…
