Well, generally, when people write an article about a movie trailer, they’ll put in the movie trailer. But here we all are.

As an add on: I’m remise if any “animal attacks” movie comes up and I don’t mention Roar, which is the most fucked up animal centered movie ever made. Novels should be written about it. It’s mind boggling.

Was anyone else here particularly disturbed by the scene where the women gets sucked into the computer and transformed into an android?   I could never watch this scene as a kid.

I think the only one of those that I saw back then (other than Return of the Jedi) was Jaws III. I spent the rest of the year seeing things like Risky Business, Trading Places, etc. I also saw some pretty bad 3D B-movies. Anyone remember Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone or Metalstorm: The Destruction of…

Stephen King had Cujo, The Dead Zone AND Christine adaptations in 1983. Cronenberg’s The Dead Zone was, by far the best of them, though far from the best Cronenberg. Christine was okay Carpenter.

Instead of being emboldened by the wins of 1982, studios got lazy, cranking out an assembly line of predictable sequels to earlier hits.

Maybe the take away is supposed to be that Ginny really gets Perry even when he is wrong? I wish he had given a clear apology though. 

This was definitely compiled by a youngster doin’ ‘research’.

Fluid? He wishes! If he were fluid, there’d be no problem. No, what he has is a romantic abnormality, one so unbelievable that it must be hidden from the public at all costs...

Biggest puzzler in the finale: Ginny being cool with Perry after not even getting an apology.

And we finally get to hear the Perry Mason theme during the credits.

It helps that the show is a Robert Downey Jr. passion project - he was originally going to star in it and he's still producing it. Keeping a good relationship with a top A-lister is good business and it's the kind of show that hopefully will help fill up the award cabinet.

I hope he gets to see Montana!

...so much so that I thought the role Kristen booked was as Sally in an upcoming film version...

HBO taking pot shots at Rip Torn (RIP Rip). Artie helped build that network god damn it! 

I think the “pea-shooter” was a gun disguised as a pen, a gag wonderfully set up by “gadgets that never work” discussion. 

Misty is always extra.

I don’t really get why Misty made her lie about Crystal the Pistol so extra. It’s totally plausible that they went to empty the bucket, and she fell. It’s a gigantic ledge and it’s slippery with all the snow and ice. She could even - truthfully - say how she ran down and tried CPR but it didn’t work. Why make up the…

I hate that I knew exactly what was gonna happen when Misty said “there’s a bigger secret I haven’t told anyone” while they happened to hang just above a cliff.

I have to admit that I broke out in laughter when “Mother” started playing over the closing credits. That is the very definition of “on the nose”.
