Hell yeah for I-Man, Time Flyer, The Last Electric Knight, and The Girl Who Spelled Freedom, particularly the last one since it’s the only kid-oriented movie I know about the Cambodian genocide.

I’m pretty sure the film would actually get a PG-13 rating if it was re-released today just for that scene.

I mean, yes? They weren’t particularly financially successful when they were released, but lots of people remember them fondly from subsequent viewings on TV and video.

It’s mostly fun to watch from a “How the hell did this get made?!?!” perspective.

Take your star you miserable rat bastard!

That was utterly terrifying when I original saw it!

In re the success of Star Wars, I tell people that the fastest way to understand it is to watch Logan’s Run, which was marketed as the “big” science fiction film release of 1976, and then watch the original Star Wars back-to-back and consider that those two films came out literally less than a year apart and that Logan…

Of all the reboots, why hasn’t Flight of the Navigator happened?

Wow, I’ve seen 8 of these (only missed Mr. Boogedy and Fuzzbucket), including seeing two in theaters (Black Cauldron and Flight of the Navigator). Disappointed not to see A Spaceman in King Arthur’s Court (a.k.a. Unidentified Flying Oddball) though — a Disney movie that somehow got a “G” rating despite a recurring gag…

I flag his comments as “Harassment,” but I don’t know if that does anything.

Precisely where did I say that I was upset with Joker’s success or that I don’t want DC to make non-traditional comic book films?

Jeremy Irons seems a bit long in the tooth for what’s supposed to be an origins story for the character, especially when it would be a couple more years at least before the film is actually made (he’s 71 right now). If we’re keeping Freeze German, then I would say Christoph Waltz would be a good choice, but then again…

That’s true, but lots of sequels to auteur films aren’t particularly good. See, e.g., The Two Jakes, The Sting II, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, etc.

Two words: Ecks vs Sever.

For the last time, a hotdog is a taco.

I haven’t had a chance to watch the essay yet, but I’ll offer the unpopular (for io9) take that Rogue One is the best of the Disney Star Wars films and quite possibly the second best Star Wars film overall. (TESB being number 1.) 

Starring Taylor Swift!  

I thought rose gold was the status symbol Razr?

I love the ergonomics of flip phones and would buy this if it were semi-reasonably priced. Why people like mashing phones into the side of their face rather than than using a phone that lets you hold it comfortably close to, but not actually contacting, your face, I will never understand.

Counterpoint: Flip phones are the pinnacle of portable phone development and humanity is much worse off for having moved away from them being standard.
