He did seem like a good guy. I remember now what made me think of him yesterday. I was cooking fish last night and I started singing “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes. The video of which was a very early MTV staple and was directed and starred Mr. Paxton.

It must have been seeing this article subconsciously yesterday that got me randomly thinking of Bill Paxton and how much of a bummer it is that he is gone. Oddly enough I was thinking of Bridget Fonda yesterday too. But that was because Nathan Rabin wrote about “It Could Happen to You” on his site the other day.

Unless the rest of the title is “In Little China” I am not watching this.

My Sister in Law failed a drug test after Easter one year. Apparently she would eat spoonfuls of Poppy Seed filling for the Easter poppy seed rolls. 

Oh man, “Something Wicked” would be perfect October viewing.

My niece was into Stranger Things as well, granted she is older than 9, and I wouldn’t let my own 9 year old Daughter watch it.

Yeah, I saw that as well. I’ll take back all the nasty things I thought about him.

I agree with you. It’s nice to have just an episodic nature to it. Keep it low-stakes.

I agree with the “fine” aspect of it. A lot of S1 gave off a Xena Warrior Princess or Hercules The Legendary Journey vibes for me. Except dressed up in Star Wars garb. Of course, for me that was enough to enjoy it as a time filler.I am not contrarian about it as the Star Wars and cute Baby Yoda sell me on it. BUt I…

I probably haven’t seen The Wonder Years since it aired so I believe you. However, he was a young teenage boy. So being self-centered and treating women (All women or just his girlfriends and love interests? I guess it doesn’t matter) terribly are traits of young teenage boys. Does he ever grow up, or does he remain…

I think it was awhile before I realized the conceit that this was a “good-parts version” of an old text was also fiction.

Fred Savage is a Republican? That stinks.

Thank you so much for this!

You have a good point. The Ren, Rey and Luke stuff are the only parts of TLJ that I think are fully formed. “Everything else fell to the wayside” as you say.

Did not expect to read a Dragonlance quote today, but here we are.

Can someone just break this movie down into Halloween Setting establishing shots GIFs for me? Preferably removing all traces of Sandler?

Never seen them live outside of footage, but yeah, they seem to really put on a performance. With Almqvist seeming to channel Mick Jagger’s youth, or as you say James Brown.

All of them have their issues, but the fact that Solo and Rogue One are standalone (barring Solo’s Darth Maul nonsense) make them easier to revisit. TLJ would be a decent middle chapter of a trilogy, (Especially if you cut a lot of it out) but not the one we got.

Shawshank seems to be more Oscar-bait than an outlier like Pulp Fiction. Shawshank is prestige picture whereas Pulp is stylized and independent. For good and mostly bad Pulp probably influenced way more films in it’s wake. That could also be why it seems less important now. Sometimes it is hard to see how original and…

Your rambling has some good points. Finn’s arc in TLJ should have focused on his stormtroooper past. Show him trying to infiltrate a brainwashing complex, or preventing the theft of a planets’ children by the First Order. Hell, if they wanted to go real heavy they could’ve had Finn find his home planet and shown the…
