“[Carrie] getting onto an American Air force base easier than you can sneak on a subway platform without paying”

“The book is very clear that the murders are real”

Also, Joan Rivers!

c’mon, man!  that’s quality stuff right there

All of your bullshit would be compelling if she was actually profiting off the backs of these folks. But she’s not. Her and her husband draw salaries of like $60 or $70k each, and the rest of the $5M in revenue goes back into the park and to their charitable efforts. Your comparisons to MLMs or Scientology just don’t…

The case is only compelling if you have zero critical thinking.

Absolutely.  I played high school football in FLORIDA in the late 80s/early 90s.  This bullshit was STILL the prevailing practice among “tough guy” football coaches.

This one is fine but Goldeneye is miles and miles its superior.  And I’ve never played the game.  Ever.  Not a gamer.  Goldeneye is the best Brosnan film and one of my top 5 007 favorites of all time.  And it really holds up.

That’s precisely how I interpreted it as well.

they both look good in hats?

Strongly agree. I’m rather surprised at Alex’s take on this. I’ve always felt it’s  kinda staid and dull, particularly in its second half (the pre-credits scene and the first 30 minutes is fantastic). Not nearly as silly as either Moonraker or A View to a Kill.

I suspect this trailer was assembled for maybe a DVD release?  I can’t imagine it’s the original theatrical trailer

hahaha me too!  I was a little younger than you (middle school in the middle 80s), but I also figured I’d better be prepared to join a gang

Cherry Valance/Diane Lane was young-me’s DREAM GIRL

They just went there with Jabba, right? He’s even more disgusting and dangerous and nasty than his previous mentions in the earlier films suggest. He’s the epitome of the villainous rot that the Empire has allowed to fester throughout the galaxy, and he’s so perfectly realized in Jedi.

Two things:

Randall - I have SO much respect for you for not asking them THE question (what’s a “beef boy”?). You get it, man, you get it

Hi Beth - is “boosting” your immunity even a real thing you can do? It’s something that people REGULARLY tout - including people like Dr. Oz - and it’s a concept that most everyone accepts as real. My (admittedly non-scientific) understanding is that, if you have a deficiency of certain vitamins you can assist your…

Holds up brilliantly today? Ok, come on. It was delightfully weird and all, but it’s pretty silly and basic kids fare in its plotting and hammy jokes.

Do you know which movie on this list is probably my goddam favorite?  Frances Ha.  It somehow got the unfair reputation of being too precious or whatever.  But fuck that.  It’s fantastic.  Greta Gerwig is delightful.  It’s funny as hell and it’s just a pleasure to watch.
