I cringe when people monetize an art form like filmmaking, but ticket prices are truly obscene. Maybe if we stop paying $50 to see a half assed sequel or remake then the industry might invest in more interesting and substantive films to compete for your dollar.

If enough people regard film as a commodity to sample, and nothing more, then those who finance them will have little incentive to invest in one that won’t appeal to the greatest common denominator. And then your choices will be nothing but different styles of crap.

You’re all a bunch of Herberts. If you’ll excuse me, it’s time to click my heels and jump for joy. I got a clean bill of health from Dr. McCoy!

Dodge Ball gave us ESPN 8, the Ocho. So I’ll always have good things to say about the movie.

They’ll buy it to prove to us libs that they aren’t bigots, see? Since Kanye’s managing himself now I wouldn’t be surprised if he uses this logic to justify a deal to sell his albums exclusively at Walmart.

Don’t forget Darryl. All could stand to mixed and matched more regularly with Abby (braider), Jodi (germaphobe), Choo-Choo, Harley, Henry Haber and even Jessica (bedwetter and Louise’s best foil). Focusing solely on the Jimmy-Zeke-Tammy-Jocelyn clique gets a little same-y.

If you go by end credits, I do. Larry Murphy is billed before Kristen Schaal. Kind of inevitable since Mort, Hugo and even Gretchen have faded into occasional appearances.

Never accepted an offer for eternal life and prosperity only to be presented with a smoking contract and pen in order to pledge my soul as payment.

It’s been a while since I watched Apocalypse Now, but the first 7 minutes never failed to give me goosebumps back in the day.

“Lady, I didn’t order a pet.” - Elvis to waitress serving a medium-rare ribeye.

I don’t like cream-based dressings, but I like a salad before main course. So if a restaurant’s Italian is creamy and oil and vinegar isn’t an option (it happens) I’ll ask for my wife’s favorite dressing on the side so she can enjoy it with her order. I’d rather eat rabbit food then try to gulp down seasoned mayo.

Chairs Missing - “Outdoor Miner”, “I Am The Fly”, “I Feel Mysterious Today”

His daughter’s book explained a lot about his maturity, and smoking habit. They derived mostly from his service in WWII as a mine sweeper in the Philippines. Not the most stress-free duty you could pull - especially if you saw friends blown to pieces by a simple misstep. Years after the Twilight Zone ended, he was…

Those Airbnb checks must be hefty to absorb the cost of plumbing, oil cleanup and tree removal. In the age of share economy and side hustles, controlled vandalism must be how today’s customers suggest you call an exterminator.

This column has been too thoughtful and high-minded lately. At least head transplants promise some lurid stories. But, ultimately, Wiki Wormhole needs to focus on a transgtessive scandal so tawdry that it permanently destroyed some beloved institution while making Kenneth Anger blush.

Completely agree. Took me right out of the show.

Surprised there was no mention of the numerous product placements in 2001: A Space Odyssey - mostly during the space station sequence. Ironic that three of the most prominent, Pan Am, Bell Telephone and Howard Johnson’s, were long or almost gone by the titular year.

Have you seen Bunuel’s Jesus in “The Milky Way”? He’s somewhat detached, a little narcissistic (especially when mother Mary says he looks better w/o the facial hair), and parties with the apostles. Satan is even part of the entourage and serves as the primary target of Jesus’ putdowns.

After seeing The Last Temptation of Christ: “I haven’t been religious in years, but that made me consider returning. If only to debate metaphor vs. reality with my old pastor.”

Before tonight there were only 2 Bob’s episodes I disliked - “Bed and Breakfast” because the beetles crawling on Teddy make me nauseous and “Little Bitty Ditty Committee” because Gene suddenly can’t master a chord change after previously writing “Electric Love” and “Work Hard or Die Trying.” “Secret Ceramics” makes…
