He did indeed have a hell of a run from 1986-1995. It's staggering how almost totally irrelevant Stone became, cinematically speaking, after Nixon.

Stone thinks Russia had nothing to do with interference in the US election, and he's accusing Democrats who oppose Trump of "trying to blow up the US."

I never thought I'd say this, but JOSHUA from WarGames is starting to look good to me now.

That's a good point.

*Kif unnerved noise*

Random observations: mini-Cliffhanger reunion with Michael Rooker and Sylvester Stallone (even reprising the "former comrades who have fallen out" dynamic)! Sadly, Stallone doesn't share any screentime with Kurt Russell, so we are denied a Tango & Cash reunion.

I remember that parody! I'm pretty sure the joke about Hooker's "soft and tender side" was the closing gag.

From the same person who considers Ghostbusters to be the sequel to Pink Floyd: The Wall, on the grounds that Michael Ensign plays a panicky hotel manager in both films.

I kinda hate "this _____ fan theory will blow your mind!" notions, but I am half convinced that Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! is a stealth prequel to Howard the Duck. This theory is based on the idea that in EWS!!, Zoey Deutch plays a younger version of the character her mother played in HtD. For one…

When you're a kid, with the scavenging raccoons and the bear getting the fur shot off its ass and lines like "Lips and assholes!" and "There's nothing left but gristle and fat!" and the presence of comedy gods John Candy and Dan Aykroyd when they were box-office draws (and, in Candy's case, alive), The Great Outdoors…

And he's got the temperament and social grace of Veruca Salt.

The Great Outdoors probably isn't a good movie, but I have retained a nostalgic fondness for it. The most annoying thing about it for me is the shitty romantic music that plays in every scene involving Candy's son and that local girl.

People complain about Aykroyd and Belushi being against type in Neighbors, but Aykroyd played dozens of manic motor-mouth blowhards in SNL. I'll grant that Belushi's turn as a mild-mannered schlub was atypical, but he's pretty good anyway. I like his exasperation and slow-burn irritation. Neighbors has lots of…

Yeah, family get-togethers with Steve Doocy probably resemble Buck Henry's "Uncle Roy" sketches from old SNL.

That is one nutty network.

Is Goldblum getting into character for Jurassic World 2? Maybe the film is going for social realism. Employment opportunities are tough for scientists in Trump's America and Ian Malcolm has been reduced to peddling hot dogs. Hell, get Dr Alan Grant to show up in an ice-cream van. I'd rather see Malcolm and Grant…

In related news, Jeff Goldblum is manning a food truck and giving out sausages in Sydney: http://www.news.com.au/ente…

In this one, Ian Malcolm transforms into Brundlefly and he and the dilophosaurus have an acid spit-off.

Oh, I totally get that Charmed can be appreciated on a campy, guilty-pleasure level. Just as long as we're under no illusion it was in any way, shape, or form superior or equal to Buffy.

"Buffy had a vision that Charmed lacked…"
