(Sandra Oh!)

I never felt that Thompson was worn down to the point of accepting death; I think the Shimmer had seduced her into believing that becoming a living part of it would be a superior existence. That’s the part of the movie that freaked me out the most, she just wanders off and joins a bunch of others as human-shaped plants…

By far.

I think de Armas is a good actor. She’s the best part of ‘No Time to Die’.

Thankfully the success of Succession hasn’t gone to his head. He’ll still lend his gravitas to even the most ridiculous of ad campaigns- Check out his recap of the ongoing Mishima family saga for Tekken 8.

What dad said. It was one of those “flopped with critics but became a cult classic on cable and video.” Especially as they marketed it as a more edgier Home Alone by highlighting Keith Coogan’s “dishes are done man!” even though it’s more of a coming of age movie. But outside of younger Gen X’ers and older…

It become a bit of a VHS/cable cult classic later in the 90s among middle school girls - or at least that was the case with my friends. I definitely ended up seeing it a few times just because it was on frequently enough

Ha, yeah I guess you can just lampshade it.  “Can’t believe the only cell tower in the county burned down last week!”

It’s always funny watching modern horror movies because of the obligatory “Weird, we don’t get any reception here!” line towards the beginning.

Yeah but if the premise doesn’t hold up to a bare minimum of common sense scrutiny it’s just too distracting. I get what you’re saying but it seems the only solution is setting certain movies in historical periods. Cell phones have wrecked a whole lot of once-plausible (even if it took some willing deniability) plots.

This. AirTags and Blink cameras mean that you can watch and keep tabs on your kids and sitters movement from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Would’ve made more sense and worked better if it were based in the 90s instead.

Seems like yet another movie where technology would torpedo the premise.  There just aren’t the excuses for not being able to reach someone that there were in the 90s, especially someone you’ve entrusted with your kids.

Please tell me someone says, “The dishes are *done*, maaan!”

Are you saying my remake of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is gonna flop because when both Dr. Evil and Austin decide to freeze themselves they instantly die because that technology does not exist today, let alone back in the 1960s?

“More like ‘Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s DEI, amirite?!’”

even if you weren’t a big fan of Applegate, Married… With Children, or the movie at the time (I wasn’t)

“Iran is Shia (along with Hezbollah), while basically the rest of the Arab world is Sunni.”

Somewhat surprised by the comments... I didn’t know this show was liked by as many as THREE people!

So...your main criticism of Pitch Meeting is that he can’t read your mind?

This isn’t complicated. Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Syria. That is a massive violation of international law. Iran responded by attacking military targets in Israel. There you go.
