Every once in a while, a work of art comes along that’s so influential you’re able to divide popular culture into before and after that work. That’s what Reuben’s created with Pee-wee.

Without Pee-wee’s Playhouse there’d be no Simpsons to Nicktoons. Even today, you can still feel the kind of energy and postmodern humor…

He’s voiced by an actual 15-year-old. You’re thrown off because you’re used to the Turtles being voice acted by grown men in their 30's.

Comparing Batman to every other DC superhero (outside of more obscure characters like the original Sandman and The Question) is apples and oranges? You can do darker, more grounded takes on Batman because the comic is rooted in the pulp-era of comic books. For the first couple of years of his existence, Batman was as…

Just want to add this fun fact: Kubrick originally wanted to do a film version of Childhood’s End but someone swooped in and bought the rights before him, so Clarke suggested they expand on “The Sentinel” instead. 2001 ended up being regarded as one of (if not thee) greatest SF film ever made and CE languished in…

Also, isn’t Brazil a reverse Donnie Darko? The director’s cut is pretty clear cut but the studio didn’t like the downer ending, so they mandated something more ambiguous. While both versions got good reviews, the more straightforward director’s cut is generally regarded as the better film.

Yeah. The puppeteer nicknamed him Salacious, George Lucas supposedly hated it but agreed to make it canon on the condition that the Crumb surname be added as a tribute to Robert Crumb.

It would be nice if they included footage from the scene where Cinderella leaves the ball as the clock strikes midnight and loses her slipper, since that’s the one where the fuck up (the line work on her bodice and the shimmer effect on the dress being almost completely lost) is the most noticeable.

Some horror movies do really well, some of the time. Historically, summer is a time when horror films (even the PG-13 variety like Insidious) get buried by bigger tentpole films. September and October (for obvious reasons) tends to be when horror films do really well, and during the dumping ground months post-holidays…

Bob’s Burgers hasn’t been in that time slot for awhile now. And I don’t see it going back because Bob’s Burgers does better with critics/award shows and (last I checked) viewers than Family Guy.

Dial of Destiny double-bill. The early reactions for those were both so great, I’m sure to have a good time!

Or the Bubblegum Crisis franchise. Or Kamen Rider creator Shotaro Ishinomori’s robot centric tokusatsu shows like Android Kikaider or Robot Detective.

Several of his tattoos were just stupid things he got as a part of a stunt.

As much as I hate defending Roseanne Barr, it was for a left leaning Jewish comedy magazine called Heeb that’s known for it’s shocking, satirical photospreads.

Her own data showed that she was in trouble in the key Midwest swing states. There just wasn’t enough enthusiasm among the base. Bill even volunteered to do events in those states (Democratic Boomers still love them some Bill Clinton) but her campaign shot it down.

The film is directed by Greta Gerwig and the novel Reviving Ophelia has been cited as one of the inspirations behind the film.

I think Barbie is going to pull a Lego Movie where audiences go in expecting a goofy film but then find themselves blindsided by surprisingly poignant subject matter. The trailers for the film…

So Grimace began life as an antagonistic milkshake thieving monster, but he was so scary that McDonald’s changed him up (gave him a goofy smile, chopped off two of his four arms) and retconned him into Ronald McDonald’s goofy, dimwitted bestfriend. Now it’s come full circle and Grimace’s milkshake is like something…

the brain war that was parodying 5 year old Starship Troopers

Landis, while also very culpable, got good and fucked over by his buddy here

I mean Shirley Temple kind of became awful in the opposite way. She was super uptight, to the point that she started dropping out film festivals in protest if films being screened featured sex/nudity.

ETA: She was also incapable at laughing at herself which led to turning down stuff like the role of Lil’ Vicky in The…
