Yep. It’s extremely uncommon for anyone to try to make a bad movie; even Neil Breen makes what he truly and genuinely feels are good films and I don’t give a shit what Tommy Wiseau says, The Room was an earnest attempt to do that, too.

Inflation must be worse than I thought if $120,000,000 USD isn’t a fortune these days!
It's not sheet laziness, I just think my bedding can wait a couple days to be washed.
Comparing Batman to every other DC superhero (outside of more obscure characters like the original Sandman and The Question) is apples and oranges? You can do darker, more grounded takes on Batman because the comic is rooted in the pulp-era of comic books. For the first couple of years of his existence, Batman was as…
For some reason, they chose a cutoff of 1990, which ignores the musically superior 60s-80s.
If there's any shark expert I absolutely must hear from, it's Mario Van Peebles.
It’s an all-time classic piece of work, from the pioneering computer-designed ramp to the execution itself, but that goddamn slide whistle keeps it off the best-of lists.
The Buster Keaton building drop is my favorite of these, mostly because....
“Yeah, we should probably teach Michelle how to ride a motorcycle though.”
I ALSO liked the A-Team a LOT. I watched the movie with nostalgia in my heart and then went back to watch old episodes. It was an interesting experience as the movie was what I thought the old show used to be and the show... well... wasn’t. To be fair, I watched the show when my age was still in single digits...
This is list is too short.
The Crocodile Hunter movie is amazing. At no point does the main character, Irwin, become aware of the plot of the film. Basically, the plot is the B-story to Irwin just being himself.
I blame the rise of cable. I was born in 1970 and my childhood involved watching 1960s shows like Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, I Dream of Jeanie, etc. That’s what over the air television broadcast in the afternoons after school and before prime time. Yes, they weren’t great (well, Bewitched was a bit smarter than the…
The introduction’s take on the Mission Impossible movie is way off. Fans of the show were FURIOUS that it killed off the team and made Phelps the villain, and if social media had been around back then it absolutely would be talked about the same way that people talk about The Last Jedi. As it was, by the time that…
The complaint about S.W.A.T. seems silly. I don’t think the audience who was watching it in 2003 was even aware of the 1975 show. I was born in 1980 and I had no idea until reading this article that the current S.W.A.T. show is not the first S.W.A.T. show. I think the movie stands fine on its own, and if it has…
The GI Joe movie gets a pass for two reasons; “COBRA LALALALALALA!” and “I was once a man!”.
Land of the Lost - I didn’t see this one, but at this point Ferrell’s schtick already seemed stale. I watched the 90s reboot and thought it was... okay and this movie just seemed like an excuse for Ferrell to do Ferrell things. Pass.
I think Thunderbirds was doomed by not featuring Lady Penelope heavily in the trailer.
Hell yeah. And even today there are guys who aren’t making a lot of money in the Minor Leagues, even at AAA.
Ferris Beuhler is pretty much just a watered down, PG-13 version of The Blues Brothers. They are both screwball road movies following quirky characters who break the rules. Jake and Elwood go to more interesting places and into the neighborhoods while Ferris and his friends are just suburban kids visiting the tourist…
