My first thought, from the poster, was something about conjoined twins. But with Elizabeth Moss and Lupita Nyongo (hopefully) in it, I’ll take the long odds and bet on a gritty film version of Puddnhead Wilson.

Ah, Cabin Boy. The worst part was, we never did find out if he did want to buy a monkey.

My first thought was Thumbtanic, which is as terrible as it sounds except for a single dumb gag that (for some strange reason) I love: when the ship’s owner asks the captain “Can we go unreeeasonably fast? As in faster than would be safe?” This is a quote my brother and I use far more than we should.

Also, I’ve seen a lot of shows where characters unnecessarily keep secrets from one another, just so the plot can stretch out for a whole season, but this may be a new record

That might be the one and only place where someone decided to tone something down.

It’s been ages, but if I remember right, that happened at the end of the 2001 book. HAL wasn’t sentient, but was close enough that the monolith transformed it and Bowman at the same time.

I always loved that episode. And I loved her appearance before that even more...

Yeah, you may be right about that. Then again, if you do it right I don’t think many people will complain about watching reruns.

I’m pretty sure the real high point of Billy Mitchell’s life was sinking the Ostfriesland in 1921, which revolutionized the future of military aviation.

It’s been a few years now, but the first time I saw suburbanites keeping chickens in their yard was my parents’ weird neighbors. When my mom asked about it, they told her it was because “eggs are just too danged expensive”.

I feel like I shouldn’t like this idea, but I do. Martin Shkreli could have a whole season to himself.

I’m late to the party here, but speaking of old material: this FG episode “the Splendid Source” was adapted, title and all, from a Richard Matheson short story from 1956.

Safety Last II: Just the Rock climbing a wall for 90 minutes

I used to take all my change to Coinstar once a year and get an Amazon card. Maybe it’s different elsewhere (I live in Missouri), but they took away that option a few years ago. Last I checked the only choices on the Coinstars around here were Nike, Applebees, and a few other equally crappy options.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Skeleton Key. So I guess it’s her 2nd best movie by default, and the rest are tied for third? (I haven’t seen 200 Cigarettes).

Yeah, if you want to make a teachable moment out of some popular science fiction thing, great. But when you take it to the point of, say, complaining about the position of the stars on the night the Titanic sank, that’s something else entirely.

It’s been ages since I’ve seen it, but I absolutely loved Almost Famous, and I remember being amazed by her performance in it. But everything since then...

I thought all of Kate Hudson’s movies that aren’t Almost Famous were tied for her worst movie.

Good lord, I forgot all about that Little Richard movie. It wasn’t bad, at least by the standards of late 90s TV movies, though that Pat Boone scene was by far the best part. There was also a terrible one about the same time with Judd Nelson as Alan Freed.
