Yes "Ghost Dad", a film where Bill Cosby becomes intangible and can go wherever he pleases and snoops on his daughters.

The best kind of correct!

I've started falling out with Joss Wheddon characters because their wit seemed overly labored. Trevor was witty and sharp, but in a completely natural way that didn't require a pithy quip every ten seconds.

What I liked so much about the romance is that both characters had an impact on one another. Wonder Woman learns about the grays of the world (but still finds the good in it), and Steve finds an ideal to look up to. They were both heroes in their own special way, but still undeniably heroes.

Remind me of the babe!

There's a great picture of Bowie in the 70's (with scarves, colored hair, and an eye patch on) with his wife and son and the caption said "The only thing normal in this picture is that lamp behind them."

You'll note he's also the one who sics the mummy warriors on Imothep's girlfriend (who's trying to kill Evie) after he figures out how to read the Book of the Dead. Such an underrated moment.

Oh God when I saw they had a grown-up version of him in the third movie I literally groaned. I don't care if it's a different actor, I didn't want to see any of that kid.

Wishing no offense, Maria Bello just wasn't as fun. Weisz was smart and determined, but kind of in an adorable way. Bello just wasn't as instantly lovable.

My favorite story about making The Mummy is them really hanging Brendan Fraser. According to him the director basically said beforehand "Okay Brendan! Look good, don't die! (SHOVE) Action!" Kind of sums up the whole series.

Eh they also make juuust enough money to justify moving forward. Hollywood cares more about box office receipts than critical acclaim anyway.

I think the moment that really wound me up was killing Gwen Stacey in AMS2. And yea yea "she died in the comics" but that's the thing: that was the comics. The movies basically ran on the chemistry between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, so killing her was the worst possible idea. But they did it because that's what

Even better, apparently Elvis did that in real life. A woman asked him if he was confused and said "Not at all ma'am. I just don't want to miss heaven on a technicality."

They could have had Oehd Fehr say something OTHER than exposition. My favorite scene is him and Brendan Fraser discussing guns when they load up for battle. "I prefer the Remington myself."

True, but Scorpion King was more of a knock-off of Conan the Barbarian (which was a hard R) than Indiana Jones (like the Mummy films were). I dunno, all those bare-chested warriors with swords and bows? You wanna see a bit of blood is all I'm saying. You don't even get to see Michael Clarke Duncan stab the villain's

- Hey O'Connell! Looks like I have all the horses!
- Hey Benny! Looks like you're on the wrong side of the river!

And then the sequel sticks her pants and high-heeled boots, turning her into pure hotness.

The fact that he has the different religious medallions on a chain like it's fucking janitors keys just kills me.

God help me, even "The Mummy Returns" gets a laugh out of me here and there with its absurdity. My favorite is after the hundredth time Oehd Fehr says "It is written that…" someone finally asks "Where was all this written?!"

Two things: one, I think Tom Cruise's presence actually hurt this film because everyone's inclined to focus more on him (thanks to his star power) rather than the titular monster. So every time I saw an ad for The Mummy, I kept wondering why we were focused on Tom Cruise playing "some guy."
