I don't know if that really describes what happens in Ghostbusters, though. Peck is an officious prick, but Venkman definitely antagonizes him into overdrive because Venkman is a prick, too. I know it's become fashionable to read Ghostbusters as a kind of free-market manifesto, but that scene always played to me like…

If they just included all searches for Godzilla in their data and not only the 1998 movie, the Cultural Relevance quotient was probably skewed.

LOL, I forgot all about that one. There you go, then.

My son loves the Minions movie, so I've seen it a lot. I think it was after the fourth or fifth time through it that I finally realized why the script sends the Minions to live in a cave between the reign of Napoleon and the 1960s.

Progressives: Powerful enough to "destroy" Bill O'Reilly and Donald Trump, not powerful enough to prevent them from becoming rich and powerful in the first place.

Why are we always "a few weeks" away from finding out what's really going on with guys like Trump and O'Reilly? I mean, I know the answer, but how did that become a thing that they say all the time?

I think some very interesting things are going to start coming out about that guy in about two weeks. Trust me, some very smart people are finding out some things. Believe me, okay? I've heard the things and they are tremendous, just great things. Best things.

Yeah, "feminine" is usually just code for "mail-order bride" with these guys.

"Lou the Jew" is the quintessential "CLEVER CHARACTER NAME TO COME."

Avocado toast.

On the other hand, there was an issue of Justice League a while back where Superman argued the death penalty doesn't do anything to deter criminals in a universe where brain transplants and frequent unexplained resurrections are possible.

That's true, yeah. Also, under Betsy DeVos I'm expecting a lot of textbooks to be revised to just say, "Who can say whether or not dinosaurs were on Noah's Ark? We may never know!"

But they also fund the vinegar spray bottles that counteract them, so, you know…

I get where you're coming from, and I don't necessarily disagree. But man, I would tattoo the Chase Bank logo on the back of my skull if it meant living in a world without ghoulish fucks like Alex Jones.

I'm excited to help my son with his history homework in 10 years and explain how the Angry Dads and the Shitposting Edgelords formed a brief-but-doomed coalition in 2016. And how it ended shortly after with a bunch of beefy dudes wearing tactical sandals putting twerps in headlocks.

Every time one of these happens I remember that some studio is banking on a Robin Hood and His Merry Men cinematic universe and I just laugh and laugh.

I would love some good updates of the Universal Monster movies. I don't want a lame PG-13 pile of watered-down, quasi-superhero movies where each one is just a commercial for the next one.

It was a lot closer to the prequels than anything in the original three movies, especially in terms of the dialogue and the characterization. It's nowhere near fair to judge anything by a first draft, but in reading it it's pretty clear that no one stopped Lucas from indulging himself with the prequels. There's no…

Years of “stranger danger” have worked too well - people with kids don’t want anything from their neighbors except to stay the hell away from their kids.
