A Shot in the Dark is on the list. Also, yes. A Pink Panther movie with Peter Sellers will work because, Peter Sellers.
The family interrogation scene in Strikes Again alone excuses any 70s datedness.

This supports my theory that at least part of the reason for a lack of some show's cultural longevity can be its initial ubiquity. Home Improvement suffers today in part because it was both widely popular and incredibly middle-of-the-road. Popular contemporaries like Seinfeld, Roseanne, Frasier, etc are better…

Yeah, but who are they going to get for Zeus and Apollo?

Thanks to Tom Breihan for writing these pieces. They've become my favorite regular items on this site. I appreciate him putting the movies back in the time they came from to better see their justified importance in that context.

I liked the 08 sequel a lot, but as a child of the 80s it would've been pretty hard for me not to. It's really difficult to explain the enormous cultural significance Stallone had in the mid-80s. Especially 1985 when Rambo came out in the summer and Rocky IV came out over Christmas.

Well, it would help if they used pixels other than black and grey.

I think both you and laylowmore are correct. The characters had plenty of warmth because we were repeatedly told how much warmth they had. None of it was earned or organic like the original cast had. My basic problem was NG was it was so immersed in forwarding it's only utopia-colored philosophy that conflict was…

I was never an NG TV show fan. I was (and still am) an avid classic series/cast fan and that's about it.
That said, I will admit to how surprised at my initial positive reaction to First Contact when I first saw it in the theatre. Mainly because it felt like Picard and the crew finally found some cahones to throw some…

I think First Contact gets more love than it's probably deserved only because it contrasts so much with the mediocrity (at best) of the other NG films.

Clearly, Good Morning America needs to bring in Corey Feldman to clear this all up.

The people that usually surround him thereby making him look smart.

Just the fact that you're calling it that tells me that you're not ready to go into production in January.

The missus and I spent part of our Memorial Day holiday in K.C. doing a baseball road trip. We can 100% attest to an astonishing baseball stadium, one helluva good steak and a blues band at the bar across the street that would make Louis C.K. drown himself in tears of repentance.

I might recommend tying it again. I'm usually pretty sensitive about overbearing Hollywood pretention in movies but Wonder Boys is a movie I thoroughly love. For me, the whole movie sort-of deflates the pretentiousness of the characters.
I remember Hanson saying that Michael Douglas plays a character who wrote one of…

I did not know that. Never Cry Wolf remains one of my favorite childhood movie-going experiences and Brian Dennehey should have been nominated for an Oscar.

I stated this in another post but, No. I respect Morrissey's right to his beliefs but not his essentially blackmailing everyone into submitting to them irrespective of their differing beliefs.
Essentially: Wake me when Morrissey starts respecting other people's beliefs.

Dude, if that's what you think, just stop going to his movies.

I get what you're getting at but not all convictions are equal (except in the subjective eye of the individual) . A speeding ticket is as against the law as murder but obviously not objectively equal crimes. Just because Morrissey chooses to view his personal conviction as a universal commandment that he sees…

If this ever aired it would do the impossible: justify the creation of reality TV.

There is a very thin margarine for error on some of these puns.
