My big takeaway from so many of these videos is that voice over is not easy and not anybody can do it.  In fact, most cannot.  

Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the night!

I mean, claims of superiority come from fears of inferiority. Most of all when they originate from things outside your control—which, in the case of many peter principle white men, include “accomplishments.”

There were definitely elements of hypochondria as well. He constantly thought there was something wrong with his body, despite doctors telling him he was fine. He had multiple nervous breakdowns that he, in his letters, blamed on his bodily constitution, rather the mental health struggles he was experiencing but…

Lovecraft was definitely virulently racist, even a scan of Re-Animator tells you that. He was also anti-semitic. He was also mentally ill. I wouldn’t could not and don’t give him a pass on the racism, but, as a jew, have you heard this story: he married a ukranian jewish woman...every now and then he would become…

Well... The kid sex stuff in IT that he wrote when he was all coked up. King's had his share of questionable moments in the past. Although he seems to have gotten much better.

There does seem like there’d be some comic horror mileage in an adaptation that reimagined Lovecraft’s stories as some kind of Rankin/Bass children’s holiday story.

Mercury.  It’s hot and small, but there’s nothing interesting about it. It’s the solar system’s Hayden Panettiere.

Planet Hollywood is the worst. 

Taco Bell is the first place many people think about whilst experiencing something potentially explosive, most likely GI.

Religious tolerance is a cool idea, so thanks for that, Rhode Island.

Though I’m sure Aykroyd loves that stuff, I might put forth that MAYBE having their goony geek supporting character rattle off insane quasi-mythology whilst possessed is perhaps a sign that the *movie’s* point of view is not one that expects audiences to be enticed by allusions to a vast amount of mythological…

A lot of it seems to be the post-fact age we find ourselves in. You can’t criticize the last Ghostbusters film or The Last Jedi without being labeled a misogynist. To the point where any legit critique still starts with “I don’t care that Admiral Holdo was a woman...” You can’t defend any Trump action without someone…

Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

This is well-written and thoughtful. And it’s true — the original Ghostbusters was “lightning in a bottle”; it’s a special film and cannot be recreated on cue. (This is why one of the talking points that came out of the last round of Busters-related Culture War always annoyed me: that really, the original film is…

I disagree that the movie “didn’t have a mythology” but had one added later by the cartoon, etc. One of the charms of the movie is Rick Moranis intoning solemnly about “During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg!”, etc. It was implied that there was a whole Ghostbuster…

So he was also responsible for the most emotional 5 minutes in modern animation -- the closing scene of Futurama’s “Jurassic Bark.”

Poe breaks Lee's lines at Gettysburg when a flank attack by ravens causes the Confederates to break, just as homicidal orangutans and the ghosts of their lost loves launch a frontal attack. Poe of course after capturing Lee bricks him up alive in the basement wall of his Arlington home.

Kim Newman, is that you?

My favorite historical what-if is: what if Edgar Allan Poe had graduated from West Point (instead of actually being expelled), become the leading Union Army general in the Civil War, and launched a campaign of Gothic horror against the Confederacy?
