Harry Potter could be basically Reaction Shot: The Series. In my mind anyway, I haven’t watched them all a lot, but I think it is most egregious in one of the last movies where an entire room is magically changed to reveal so much more, and there is Harry looking on in beatific wonder as if thinking “how?” At this

Sometimes quick dumb shit makes you laugh, and this quick dumb shit made me laugh.

It’s good to see that Henry Cavill’s Moustache is still getting work after it’s scenes were cut from Justice League. 

Those monsters

There is nothing wrong with wearing a short sleeved shirt over a long sleeved shirt. 

Oh man, I totally forgot about this game. I had it for the PS2 and I played the hell out of it. So much so that I know that goddam Offspring song backwards and forwards. 

Clue was my go-to sick day movie. It’s so rewatchable and that is thanks to the stellar cast.

I remember seeing it in the theater, but it was after they abandoned the gimmick and just showed all the endings.

Thanks. I knew she was “somebody” but I couldn’t remember who.

It looks like that is part of the “Ricky” video. I’ll probably YouTube it after I finish this comment to be sure, but I seem to recall that it ended with a big silly dance-off that took it out of the 50's trapping of “I Love Lucy” and into the modern (early 80's) age. You can see the “Lucy” actress on the far right of

It’s a ridiculously self-indulgent, ill-advised, vanity version.

Jasmine is impressed by Aladdin’s ability to do whatever he wants and go wherever he wants. Both in his “street rat” truth, or in his “Prince Ali” subterfuge. Never once is he being told what to do and where to go based on who he is. That is what Jasmine wants. She likes Aladdin because he offers that to her in either

I agree in full with you. I could really feel that Williams’ Genie liked Aladdin. And felt genuinely hurt by him, less so as a Master/Servant relationship but as a friendship. I didn’t get that from Smith’s Genie who didn’t seem to really care about Aladdin.

As rich and mature as The Lion King’s themes and subject matter are, it still has a farting warthog. I think I enjoy the story (or at least I relate more) to the street rat with a heart of gold that overcomes (magically at first, but eventually through his own skill) and becomes successful vs. the Lost Prince that

At least Jafar got the Aladdin reprise.

Aladdin is solid entertainment, though I understand how Williams can be exhausting. I waffled on his persona/schtick a lot when he was a live (VERY attention grabbing) but have become way more forgiving since his passing. You take him out and fill in someone else (Say Will Smith) and the movie just isn’t memorable.

Look, Thewlis is my favorite Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher., what more do you want from me?

I was thinking the same thing, but then I wondered how powerful The Scarlet Witch was in her earliest incarnation an whether or not she became a Dark Phoenix knock-off after the fact.

And here’s another thing. Even if it is a twist, and even if that twist was ruined by the marketing, It doesn’t detract from the fact that T2 is all kinds of awesome.

I like that you mention Fury Road. As you say T2 is a freaking spectacle of awesome and I remember also being blown away when I originally saw it in theaters. Didn’t felt that way for an action flick again until Fury Road. Also pure amazing spectacle. 

I always get a chuckle out of River Phoenix in Last Crusade. A teenager in 1912 is going to have THAT haircut? Also apparently he is supposed to be 13 at the beginning. Just like Furlong is supposed to be 10 in T2.
