I’m not convinced that this whole movie isn’t just a ruse to get people in the seats, at which point Jared Leto will turn to the camera and explain in extreme detail for the next two hours why his version of Joker is secretly the best one, and was simply far too Damaged™ for lamestream audiences to accept. 

Remember when it was cooler that pop stars weren’t so available and accessible to who-the-fuck-ever? Jimmy Page barely gave interviews and certainly didn’t take pictures with every jerk-off pounding on his door. And he was excellent.

I’d have more sympathy for this point if the right hadn’t spent the last year complaining about non-existent CRT teaching in elementary and high schools. 

Romancing the Stone has a great deal of “overt comedy.”  What movie were you watching?

I always felt that Romancing the Stone was spoofing those movies more than ripping them off. Despite the lack of overt comedy, it wasn’t supposed to be taken all that seriously.

I think it is interesting that Romancing the Stone when it came out seemed derivative of old adventure serials and movies, but now itself is inspiring ripoffs, since we have completely forgotten the movies that it was ripping off. I don’t know if this is depressing or not. I like Romancing the Stone though & would

Oh, like you guys are experts on what sort of accents they have on the moon.

The whole thing is set “long ago in a galaxy far far away”. How are we seeing the story if not for time travel? Obviously Doc Brown took his camcorder, went back in time and followed around Luke, et al.

Is Star Wars not “for girls”?  Or the MCU?  Aren’t these ideas of “for girls” and “for boys” concepts we are getting away from in society?

I still maintain that Shaloub’s delivery of that line is, arguably, one of the best delivered comedy lines in movie history.

That was a hell of a thing.  

Original face Rourke? Hell, yes!

Good thing there’s no other character’s in the MCU with glowy hand powers.

In the context of the MCU, I’m not sure how anyone on Earth is a Captain Marvel fan.  I mean, from what we’ve seen, she did one thing in the 90's that wasn’t highly publicized before she left the planet and then showed up about 25 years later in the middle of a large group fight against Thanos and his crew - the same

To be fair a few decades ago comic book fans were the same way. Although translating comics to movies makes far more sense then translating games to movies. 

Just think, there’s a whole subculture of people waiting for these things with baited breath, all thinking “Someday our prince will come.”

A poor adaptation of a videogame? Well that’s a first.

If the point of the movie was that the main character thought that’s what bakers did then – yeah, you’d have a point.

Or arguably it’s Phil Burbank’s assumption of what a real cowboy does. Most of the other characters do not. George Burbank certainly doesn’t. It’s almost like that whole aesthetic might have been part of the point.

They would but they all got fired for refusing to relocate across country with no moving expenses covered or pay rate change.
