Why didn't he tousle his hair?

Do you draw a distinction between "quasi-remake" and "rip-off"? The former is just a more polite way to say the later.

"Cop goes undercover in group involved in extreme/insular activity and also doing crimes" is pretty more specific than "boiler-plate undercover cop story." Like, I feel that if someone had done it before Point Break people would have described Point Break as a quasi-remake of *that* movie.

I recall someone writing that Training Day "hinges on a coincidence that even Dickens couldn't have gotten away with" or something similar, and they were right. It's really just too "really?" when it happens, and ruins the movie.

I can never decide between my favorite unsettlingness in the pilot; the buck head trophy on the table scene or the blinking fluorescent light scene. I think I have to go with the fluorescent light scene because it has the extra who badly flubbed his lines that they left it in.

I might be remembering it wrong, I only saw the movie once years ago, but wasn't it that she tricked the machine by telling it to perform a gender-neutral procedure? Like, "remove abdominal obstruction" or something?

I never viewed it as sexist, but as another example of the movie being stupid. I'm not willing to accept that you can buy a surgery machine that comes male-only, even in a fictional sci-fi future.

Pitch: Bernie the cartoon St Bernard; he's highly critical of Wall Street but alienates minorities.

Not checking because I want to believe that there's just a single, extra-sad looking basset hound out there named Jeb.

2 Cruz. Those would be the ones that piss on your rug.

Tho there are 44 Biggie

1 Notorious, 6 Tupac

3 Barack, 3 Obama, 4 Donald, 2 Trump, 6 Hillary, 6 Clinton, 46 Bernie, 1 Sander

Jive talkin' robot!

I don't see how that would stop them; we've already had a variety of Mountains and Daarios.

I was 12 years old when Wayne's World 2 was released, and I specifically remember the limo version of the Mirthmobile showing up at the end as aggressively stupid.

No, the history of snark-O'Neal makes sincere-O'Neal more meaningful! See, e.g., his pre-release reflections on the Ghostbusters reboot.

(I believe my other poster-contributions to that dorm room were a drawing of Homer Simpson face-palming and d'oh'ing, and a black-and-white shot of Sean Connery as James Bond in From Russia with Love. Dorm room posters were awesome.)

I suppose there's ambiguity in "successful" here. Specifically "bales of money" vs "actually good."

I had a poster reproducing this speech on the wall of my freshman year dorm room. With the benefit of time, I believe this proves I had better taste than those back in 1999 who had Dave Matthews posters.
