I remember the original being decently melancholy and kind of strange - Castaway with zombies! - until that garbage final scene. The zombies looked like cartoons that had been hastily sketched in. Even in 2007 the CGI was so bad.

Chris??

I wonder if, in hindsight, we’ll see Quantumania as the movie that killed the general public’s interest in the MCU.

It was precisely that violence that got the Classic series’ best-ever showrunners canned, at the behest of moral guardian Mary Whitehead! Imagine how many great stories we missed because of her meddling.

as an incurable Classic Who nerd, I need this.

Seriously, just give the AV Club to Nilus!

Growing up in the late ‘90s, I had the good fortune to grow up with a mom who made us watch every episode. “Scum of the Earth” is still a favorite.

I was about to say, how could they include Matrix Reloaded and omit the titular feast in Babette’s Feast?

I keep saying they should’ve taken a five-year hiatus post-Endgame, which would have aligned perfectly with covid.

The Marvels only made *ten million* in its second week? It’s hard to believe this is the same MCU that once bestrode the narrow world like a colossus.

he’s working so hard to be the new Henry Ford.

They should just do a shot-for-shot remake of the Poker Face scene from the original and then never comment on it.

I keep saying they should’ve taken a five-year break after Endgame and recalibrated. In retrospect, with the pandemic about to strike, it would have been perfect timing.

God, it’s so good to see classic poetry being quoted in pop culture again.

The “Family of Blood” two-parter is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on television. This is a minority opinion but I also adore “Love & Monsters” - the one with Moaning Myrtle and a very game Marc Warren - even though the Doctor is barely in it. The way he says “the Absorber is being absorbed!” always kills me. 

I’m reminded of the viral tweet that Maddie Whittle posted back when the original film came out: “Any little girl for whom seeing CAPTAIN MARVEL has an appreciable effect on her self-worth, her ambitions, or her sense of what’s possible for her own life, is an unimaginative bore and I don’t care to know her.”

How is Inside No. 09 not on this list?

Peter, just go listen to Ethan Hawke’s Black Album.

It has the vibe of an Oasis song, just as “Real Love” had the vibe of an ELO song.

Is there the slightest chance this will be good without Matt Reeves directing? His trilogy seemed to tell a complete story.
