He might be one of the baddies.

IT MAY NOT BE THE MAGNANIMOUS GESTURE YOU THINK!

Boris Johnson has it...we'll see how that goes. My British friends have posted scuttlebutt that he may not be doing well.

Half of Hollywood’s “charm” was that it was so shitty yhtat it never got redeveloped. It looked essentially the same fro 1950-2015.

...but now, the developers are literally buying up entire blocks of houses and small apartments, knocking them down and putting up mega-complexes. It’s really fucking scary. Nothing is…

Its changing so fast. You should drive up sometime for the:”Whoa! THAT wasn’t there the last time!” effect.

Prrrft. You call that an iconic crossing?

I’ll raise you a Hollywood AND a vine...my neighborhood crossing I both avoid and fantasize about plowing down tourists at.

I think it is something beards do, like out of self preservation, they mess with your face under them so that when you shave them off, you immediately regrow them.

...like, I used to have a regular face, right? Then I had a beard for a couple years.

That is all.

I mean, Kenny’s version was great, but Leonard Nimoy did the definitive version:

...well all of that Kurt Russel Disney stuff was on constant play in my childhood. It was pretty fucking cool seeing Dexter Riley going dark.

...which reminds me, I gotta get Disney+

Oh gawd yeah, Goonies didn’t even register. We do Goonies retro stuff at my work (well, back when I had a “work”) and I’m like:”Wait. People LIKED that???”

FUCK YOU, 2020...in the eye.

I think it’s that the “comic book movies” are ones that impose fantasy on the real world, while The Princess Bride imposes the real world on a fantasy.

I was more like 15 when ET came out, and it was the first movie I remember feeling like I was too old for, watching the 10-12 year olds in the theater freaking out and realizing I was past being a KID.

....but maaaan, Conan, and especially Poltergeist REALLY hit my sweet spot (Poltergeist wins, because as much fun as…

This must be getting back to normal...the A/V Club is making up bands again.
