Hyperbole is also a word that has meaning. 

My weird little song-and-dance theater troupe did a show with him when I was 12 or so when he was on a tour doing Disney and Sesame Street songs (we were his backup singers and dancers for “Under the Sea”). I don’t remember a lot, just that he was a kind, gracious guy who made it a point to speak to each of us…

Yup, everyone in John Hughes movies lives in the same neighborhood. So, in theory, Del Griffith could’ve bumped into Uncle Buck Russel, while Sam and “The Geek” from Sixteen Candles went to school with Claire and Brian from “The Breakfast Club”, as well as Ferris Bueller, whose sister probably babysat Kevin…

What’s the opposite of a love letter to a city? Quick Change is a great panacea to all the “I Heart NY” movies out there. The whole damn movie is “this city fucking blows and it’s impossible to escape because it sucks so hard.” 

Nah, “The Empire Strikes Back” was an awesome title. Like, “HOLY SHIT!!!! I HAVE TO SEE THAT!!!!” title. If anything, in the late 70s “Star Wars” was a more questionable title. I was a baby, but knowing the state of Sci-Fi at the time it would’ve had to sound fucking stupid and childish to a lot of people.

It’s been 41 years since Raiders, set in 1936, so if they’d kept the time frame consistent, this movie would be in 1977.

Sure, but how many of us only know what the Ark of the Covenant is because it was in the movie?  
You’ve gotta imagine in 1981 people heard Raiders of the lost Ark and thought, “Huh? An “Ark”? You mean like what Noah built?”

I think, as more filmmakers have grown up with texting, they’ve started to figure out how to make texting work within film. One of the first instances I can recall of using texting as a storytelling device was Sherlock, where it was used as an example of his anti-social personality (in 2010). More recently, I think…

I feel like filmmakers have only figured out how to make texting work on-screen relatively recently. It’s always more cinematic to have an actual conversation.

That was exactly what it was. When the whole “TSA” thing was being created they specifically said that non-ticketed passengers would no longer be allowed through security since security lines were about to get LONG. 

They’ll probably do some sort of character-swap while keeping the same basic story structure, the way they swapped out Hank Pym for Tony Stark for Ultron.

So . . . they put their blackened chicken tenders on a bun? 

“I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”

Personally, I like that this phase has been fractured. It should be fractured and messy. After Endgame, it would’ve been a cheat to immediately jump in and start building to another BIG DAMN THING. They needed to take a breath and allow the existing heroes to try to find their place after Endgame. Not just the blip,…

Yup. It’s great that both with Saw Gerrera and now with this guy he’s all, “Huh, don’t know what to tell you. We had nothing to do with it.” And with Saw he pulled the whole, “I was going to ask if it was you,” move.

Yeah, I firmly believe any young actor who gets a Disney Channel show for a few years ends up needing to re-learn how to act, considering the Disney Channel acting style is “mugging like crazy and going as annoyingly broad as humanly possible”.

In many ways, it reminds me of The Operative’s speech from Serenity.

I loved that speech. It does a great job of crystallizing how, even if you’re the “good guys”, even if your cause is undeniably just, you still need men willing to become monsters in order to win. Luthen made the decision to sacrifice every scrap of his humanity in order to play his role. And I love that, even with…
