I’d forgotten how great this movie is until this article reminded me.  Damn it, now I’m not going to be able to fully rest until I track it down and watch it again for the first time in probably 15 years.

Although it turned out fine, I really do wish he’d been able to take the offer and play the Bear Jew in Inglorious Basterds - I think he would have really done well with that.

Jesus!  I feel like there should be a computer voice announcing “you now have twenty minutes to reach minimum safe distance” here.

Yeah, agreed.  It’s a weird series to try to adapt if you’re trying not to cross the Catholic Church and religions in general.

Could be - I have no idea if this was the origin or not.

There’s not a doubt in my fucking mind.

Yeah, I was wondering why the fuck that was!

Oh, I leave out the “drive-thru” part when I say it.  Just a simple “Sir, this is an Arby’s.”  Brevity is the soul of wit, etc.

I can’t quite figure out why, but this joke is always way funnier to me when it uses Arby’s instead.  I think Arby’s is just inherently more comedic than Wendy’s.

This seems like “I’m sorry - there was no way for me to know that she’d become single again right after you and I got married.”

Nice reference...nice.

That ought to calm those tits nicely.

To stay somewhat on-brand, it’s like Olenna Tyrell telling Daenerys Targaryen “Be a dragon” rather than try to play Westerosi politics.

And here I thought I was just making a moderately-funny joke.

I like LMM a lot, but Sam Elliott in that role was possibly the most perfect casting that has ever occurred, and so LMM cannot possibly be his equal no matter how well he ends up doing. The others, I agree, should work out equivalently.

Although the Ancient One was presumably referring to the then-upcoming Kaecilius/Dormammu thing that specifically required the Time Stone in order to avoid total destruction.

Plus, maybe the winning scenario(s) required the “Starlord fucks up” part.

I’d seen and enjoyed this video and its insane song before, and this time it led me to check out the Bagger 288's Wikipedia article. That supplied the following information: “The Bagger’s operation requires 16.56 megawatts of externally supplied electricity.”  From that, and without any additional research, I’m…

Yeah, but the excellent casting was all it had going for it, and I think the casting of Daphne Keen in this one outweighs any possible downgrade otherwise.

Because he made a movie in 1996 that grossed over 300 million (over 600 if you adjust it to today’s dollar) and has been able to largely coast on that, although enough of his subsequent movies have made good enough money to warrant it.

The better question is why they don’t spend more on writers to go along with his…
