Aw, but that LAWNMOWER MAN promo item is the best.

You seriously want the hat? I think it's still in the office.

Or he could have handled the image better. I didn't dislike this film nearly as much as Scott did, but the green-screen of Tom Hanks falling out of one of the towers toward the camera, flailing all the way, was flat-out tasteless.

It totally keeps the comic alcoholism, complete with whiskey-induced flashback/hallucinations which were one of my favorite parts of the film.

Ha. We've tried the  marshmallow fries with strawberry "ketchup," in a previous iteration of Dining For A Dollar. So disgusting.

This one was in the half-price bin at a "dollar and up" store. Dunno how it got there if they're so popular, but it damn sure wasn't pricey.

Make them listen to an endless chorus of harmonizing monotonal Sing-A-Ma-Jigs?

I love that the script keeps Haddock's ridiculous curses. They sound even less believable when spoken, but I don't care, they're so key to the character.

Don't forget to mention the sunbeams falling on his upturned, wonder-dazzled face.

We're reading the comments. Help is on the way. Please stand perfectly still on the giant red X under the suspended piano. Everything will become clear in a moment. 

All reviews have teasers like that. (You can see them on the films channel page if you click the films tab at the top of the page, for instance.) This one just got accidentally pasted into the review itself. Sorry!

The mouth clamps down and it has teeth, but it couldn't possibly be TOO painful, because Josh kept coming around to my desk and sticking his finger in its mouth, without a 7-year-old daring him to. I think it's just kid-scary to think about this thing biting you.

When Sally came in to shoot the photos for this piece, she put the coal candy down on the table and more bugs crawled out. Regrettably, she freaked out and pounded them instead of taking pictures proving the point. I'm so sad she didn't manage to document my argh-bugs-on-my-desk experience.

I'm glad I win, but I do feel like it's maybe a little too self-referential. If I'd been barred from picking that one, though, I would have gone with the Elvis Costello Sesame Street appearance I talked about for the Muppets music segment on Reasonable Discussions. My second most replayed video of the year. Favorite

Sorry. We could attempt to have a more unreasonable one if you like, though since we've hit the nesting limit, it'd be hard to respond to each other properly. But maybe that's just part of the unreasonability.

Putting that "honesty" in this particular forum made it look fairly suspect, and possibly the equivalent of the people all over the net who go to reviews of albums and say "This looks okay, I guess. Gonna go torrent it." Okay, some people don't have tons of disposable income, but generally, making a point of

You have replaced potential douchiness with complete reasonableness. Carry on!

Not at all douchey: Relying on libraries for new books.
