I vaguely remember reading about a MST3K con where during the q&a some asshole got up and tried to ask Bridget Jones on a date—with her husband Mike Nelson sitting right next to her.

I’m a fan of all three, but The Rocketeer is clearly the best of the bunch.

I’m not familiar with any of the radio shows directly, but I love the art deco era and those types of characters always appeal to me — i.e. The Shadow, the Phantom, Rocketeer, etc. None of those are masterpieces, or come close to Raiders, but they’re a fun mini-genre that I’d like to see get resurrected. Seems like…

One of the biggest what ifs in cinema, is what if Connery had hung around for one more entry, and starred in OHMSS. If he had, I think instead of arguing for OHMSS’s reconsideration, it’d be acknowledged as a downright classic.

it’s the poster for Scream and Scream Again, used as the header photo because the feature is called Stream and Stream Again

Surely “One Giant Leap” is a parody of “For All Mankind.”

I appreciate you mentioning the anti-Semitic tropes it put forth. Gentiles look at us sideways when we “complain” about that stuff, but it was the biggest movie in the world, and when the biggest movie in the world declares (visually, if nothing else) that you’re hook-nosed money-grubbing hateful stubborn people, that…

Jesus will return in THUNDERBALL

There are two basic camps in Christian theology (painting with a very broad brush) about which aspect of the crucifixion was the really important one. In Catholic theology, the key aspect of what Jesus did was His death; His primary role was a substitutionary sacrifice. That’s why Catholic iconography, which Gibson’s…

I would argue that TinTin is a better Indiana Jones movie than the Crystal Skull was.

Honestly? It’s all about the money. Kids love repetition, so you basically can do easy work recycling the same storylines over and over again with less fear of the numbers and cancellation than, say, a primetime show intended for an 18-39 audience. It’s much more stable and equally lucrative. Sometimes you go into TV…

Back when Charlie Brooker of Black Mirror fame was doing his show Screenwipe, he dedicated an episode to children’s programming and concluded that the notion that producing quality television for kids was somehow easier than doing the same for adults was a huge misconception.

Completely ignoring the fact that there are millions of people who don’t speak up about their abuse, even as they spiral through drug use and instability, and it’s well-documented... It took Corey Feldman decades to name his abuser publicly, it’s perfectly reasonable to believe Bynes wouldn’t say anything.

Gee, I’m real sorry your career blew up, Ricky.

I bet Patrick Schwarzenegger sounds even more like his dad when his character exclaims, “It’s not a tumor!”

So was I! I did a full-on double take when I saw it, because I mostly remember her from the episode she acted in back in S4, and you’re right, it ended up being one of the best episodes this season.

C+ is generous. That fucking sucked. I enjoyed most of this season, but I hope if it does return that Wong and the Morgan brothers are the ones in charge.

Bennett’s line delivery and nervous looks to the camera for solidarity were fucking perfect here. The singled out, “They smell like normal lamps to me!” was great, but his constant, strained, “Nooo, I go to the bathroom down the hallllll!” got me every time.

The toilet lamp was the funniest thing from this entire season.

Dennis, do you have something against Melissa Villasenor? She’s really underrated on this show. She was the last one to break in the Old Guy Cialis sketch, and that was only because Hader pushed her halfway across the set with the back of his mobility scooter.
