I watched Waterworld at the university movie theater, and the bungee-jump climax got full-on applause and cheering. And this was in Britain where we simply didn’t do that sort of thing.

It’s almost as much of a Marmite movie as Napoleon Dynamite. My sister thought it was shit, and though I'd never admit it to her, it damaged our relationship a bit. Not as much as finding out she didn’t like Galaxy Quest, but was definitely a non-zero effect.

That series is also where “manic pixie dream girl” was coined.

I was about to protest that this already existed:

^This. Fighting a robot uprising is a young person’s game.

If someone shot a rocket in your face, wouldn’t you be pissed off?

Dances With Whales? It was enjoyable, I guess.

Grim prediction, meta-commentary, and flat-out moneymaking, all in one:

Damnit, I meant 2001. 

The important thing is that we all ready ourselves to beat 100,000 comments on the movie’s review.

A strong Yes to Needful Things. Stephen King, Ed Harris and Max Von Sydow make for a potent cocktail.

The Lone Gunmen even picked the World Trade Centre in March 2011.

Have some Mary Wells for dessert:

Particularly the scent where everyone's name and universe is overlaid, Lego Movie part-number style

They’re in it for about five seconds. Like many, many other spider folk.

On the “children imitating” front, I’m more worried about Elemental (whose trailer played when I saw Spider-Man) showing parents feeding lighter fluid (the bottle literally says that in the side) to a baby.

With most Black Sabbath covers, I prefer the cover to the original.

Just so we have a baseline, please name 3 actors/actresses you do like.

The end of No Way Home could have been a great start point for a wandering-vigilante TV series, in the mould of King Fu, the original Incredible Hulk, or The Littlest Hobo.

Derision.
