With the possible exception of the warehouse beatdown (leaving aside the fact that he kills a bunch of dudes).

Years ago I saw Jon Favreau on the Late Late Show talking about how good at boxing he got while training to play Rocky Marciano. None of the actual boxers he sparred with were allowed to actually hit him, so he totally believed the trainers when they told him he was developing into a legitimately talented fighter.

I mean, one would think. If he does actually beat a pro fighter, do you think that guy would be like, "So does this mean that I could have spent my twenties and thirties building a career as an architect or a lawyer, all the while not getting repeatedly kicked in the face, and then just up and quit, trained hard for

And they are not in wide-screen format. If you watch them on a big (i.e. normal nowadays) screen, the movie plays out in a wee box in the center.

As we all know, the real Yoda was hung like a moose.

Erica Bana's pretty funny.

It sure does! I think I did as well actually. They probably handed them out at school.

I like the bit in The Dish when Sam Neill and his friend are sitting outside on the night of the moon landing, when all hell is breaking loose, and reminiscing about a good night they'd had; one observes that this night was nothing like that night. The response: "No. Tonight's a shithouse night."

Anyone else remember the cover Yahoo Serious did of "Rock n Roll Music" for Young Einstein? It had a music video and everything. So weird.

Well cardboard's right out, I can tell you that.

Loved that show, and watched it again recently. It doesn't hold up as well as I'd hoped, but it's still good for a chuckle.

No worries mate!

I have to admit I totally don't remember that either. That movie's gotta be like $6.99 on iTunes by now right?

"detergent, creatine, and cattle dewormer" - hey don't forget about good old baby laxative!

That one kind of looks like the BVS version, but it looks more like an artist's rendering, all the edges are smoothed over. So I thought it might be from a cartoon depiction, or video game.

I really like the James Bond one. I loved that Aston from The Living Daylights when I was a kid. There have been some truly ugly versions of the Batmobile over the years. I wonder why they didn't include the Batman vs Superman version.

It's pronounced "ree-AHLS" if you're wondering.

An article on Vulture that ranked all the PIxar movies put "Up" quite low. The writer makes the good point that after the devastating first 5 minutes or so, the movie is fairly rote and shallow.

I'm still hesitant to show Coraline to my 8 year old daughter, even though she's watched all 8 of the Harry Potter movies. I think there's something uniquely spooky about your parents becoming monstrous versions of themselves.

I detect a note of sarcasm…
