I was referencing Baman Piderman, the show these guest animators made. Partly because I think a quote thread for that show would be amazing, and there aren't that many places in which it would be appropriate.
That's why these movies break my heart, rather than just not registering with me at all like most bad movies I wasn't going to like anyway do. America is so driven by fear right now that a literal fascist is running a wildly successful presidential campaign. This is an environment in which Superman could actually…
When I was considering making a comment elsewhere in this section, I was
going to try and make an analogy about how badly Snyder failed to
capture the tone of a Superman story. Like, if we were talking about
Watchmen, I could have said "It's like if someone made a really dumb,
shallow, over-polished action movie out…
I think Ronan is the perfect villain for that movie. Yes, he's different in the comics, but his portrayal in that story works great: all the heroes are clowns, so the villain is the eternal sourpus who can't take a joke. Every other MCU villain will get in a sly remark or a brief joke or something, but Ronan is…
I always felt that Miller didn't get enough credit for his portrayal of Superman in TDKR. Yes, he's become a tool of the government, but he states rather plainly that he's only operating that way because it's the only way he can continue to help people. The rest of the Justice League is gone, and he doesn't have the…
I kinda wish they had stuck with the original title of this one, "Beyond The Grotto of the Water Nymphs". I mean, they've already referenced Blue Velvet and They Live, it's not like CN's gonna drop the hammer on them for that one.
I dunno, this episode left me with a…weirdy feeling.
I could see someone making a reasonable argument that "A Fish Called Wanda" was the greatest comedy ever made, and thus deserving a spot on the all-time top-ten.
I am literally unable to tell if this is trolling or not, so I will simply state that while he occasionally comes off a bit overly internetish, Chris Stuckman is a very insightful, concise film critic, whose attitude towards cinema reminds me of the late Mr. Ebert, what with its rejection of both pretentiousness and…
I know we're supposed to be snarky here, but everything about this sounds kind of spectacular.
Fuck, man. What the fuck.
The joke wasn't that he was gay, the joke was that he was obviously in love with Mr. Burns but nobody ever said it outright. This episode goes up to every great laugh that was ever gotten out of that and says "GET IT? IT'S 'CAUSE HE'S GAY."
I still hold that however good this episode is, the fact that they did it in the first place means that the people making The Simpsons have gotten so far out of touch with what constitutes great comedy that they have sunk to the point of explaining the joke.
You always take shots from folks who just don't get the joke!
One moment? He missed that Finn becomes a monstrous version of Martin after harming Neptr, his son. He thought Finn's view of PB as a casual broette indicated that he's still in love with her. He missed the elaborate "St. Elsewhere" reference between Bmo's last line and the focus on the snow-globe. He missed half the…
This is the tragic irony of Oliver "Metaphor" Sava: as desperate as he is to read everything in this show as indicating some kind of deeper meaning, he misses actual deeper meanings left and right. He didn't notice that Phlannel Boxingday was Peebles, he had no idea what "The Mountain" was talking about, he missed…
They didn't say Finn perceives PB as a teen heartthrob, PB said that teen heartthrob was apparently the look she had to go with for her speech. I think her appearance was meant to convey that Finn no longer idolizes her, seeing her as just a member of the gang (His perspective is, for example, noticeably different…
Jake couldn't shift back though, so it seems like the Eyes override pre-existing shape-changing abilities.
