Those were the matinee prices LOL. For my wife, 3 kids, and one extra kid. And while she could have easily told my kids, “no snacks, you expensive little crotch-fruit,” you sure can’t do that if one of them has a guest, so that was part of the bill.

If anything’s killing the box office, I think it’s that. My wife took our kids + 1 to Inside Out 2: Feel Harder on Friday and she told me she dropped more than $100 on it. A lot more potential theater goers I’m sure are just as happy to see it on Disney+ by Thanksgiving.

Tyr working with someone like Frank Burns.

Well I guess I should say that in all fairness, Season 5 was a tough one to follow. When the season’ big bad is POTUS, where do you go from there? But that aside, I just found S6 lacking, and Jack’s family bullshit was a big part of it.

My favorite Sutherland random role:

I was a little disappointed that Donald Sutherland wasn’t cast as Jack Bauer’s father in season six of 24.

I was disappointed to find out this was not the launch of the Schoolhouse Rock cinematic universe.

I mostly considered him “that loudmouth New York real estate guy,” but when he went all-in on birtherism around 2012 it became pretty clear what a sack of shit he is.

Are we sure it was Will & Grace that got Trump crushing on Messing? If anything, he was probably under the delusion that she was more like her character on Seinfeld:

I thought Fisker made scissors. When did they get into the car game?

But Stewart and his writers stumbled upon a strong monologue

the Gwyneth Paltrow-starring Sliding Doors, which explored alternate realities through wigs, rom-com tropes, and plenty of Dido.

before all of that stuff happened to me, I didn’t feel good

Precisely, and it makes Hughes’ statements like “It’s undeniably the first really serious, out-the-gates win for Pixar since the pre-pandemic days of Toy Story 4” and “the last several of which posted dismal opening weekends by comparison” particularly stupid.

Other than Lightyear and Elemental, has anything Pixar made since the pandemic even had a theatrical debut? Soul, Luca, and Turning Red all went straight to streaming.

This is one of the more delightful things I’ve heard.

Three words:

I remember the Sci-Fi channel (before they were “SyFy”) did a mini series... I never saw it, though.

Maybe I was just a dumbass 13-year-old, but I liked Lynch’s Dune.
