This is true too, but he was definitely off. Some weird wrong answers, particularly to Final Jeopardy. He guessed Poland for the country annexed by Nazi Germany and then divided into 4 pieces. But the clue contained (fairly obvious) hints including that both the Alps and the Danube River run through this country ...

Agreed. And his wrong answer to a relatively easy Final Jeopardy question was surprising in its wrongness.  Very un-Amodio like.

ok?

Same here BUT we were in the minority, I think. Most of my “metal friends” dismissed it, I think because it began to attract a whole new audience. My view has always been: it’s not what they were doing before, but it’s pretty fucking great.

I’m an old Gen Xer and I really liked Moore’s Bond ... but also thought he was too jokey. That said, I could never embrace Connery ... those movies always felt too early 60s old-fashiony to me. I genuinely loved the Brosnan era.

I’m an Old and a big fan of the franchise ... and Brosnan is my favorite Bond. Someone else said it better than me in these comments - he has it all ... the best traits of all of his predecessors rolled into one. I’ve read several of the original books and Brosnan just feels like what Fleming had in mind. And Goldeneye

Do you even Bond, bro?

If you were lucky the center of the sandwich was kinda soft.  But the crust?  No amount of liquid could soften those edges.

Fiestada was the fucking king

YES the hexagon-shaped vaguely mexicanish pizza!  At my high school in FL they called them “fiestadas.”  They were gross but also great?

donuts or animal hands?

Strong agree with everything you’ve said here.  Genuinely love The Orville.

I don’t know, Guy. The dude looks so fucking ridiculous in that still above, with Julianne Moore, that I’m certain I don’t need to see one, single second of this movie to know that I will be distracted by the fact that he’s supposed to be 17.

I think the distinction typically drawn is that Chainsaw effectively plays out like a haunted house movie, whereas the classic “slasher” movie contemplates a murderous stalker in the Jack the Ripper vein.

I remember this prediction in these comments.  kudos!

Pimento’s lines (and, of course, Mantzoukas’ delivery of said lines) had me howling. It was the perfect dénouement. The twist that he had to not simply defeat the wolves but actually become the alpha? Fucking amazing.

Thankfully the show runners figured out early on, probably in the middle of Season 1, that Samberg worked best as a straight man.  This was bold as hell, because SURELY network brass viewed this as an “Andy Samberg sitcom.”  But that decision proved to be critical to the show’s success.  Samberg was near-perfect as a

Great list. I would probably include Elm Street as well, but you can’t go wrong with any of these if you’re interested in the genre. Another one that I would rank very high in my favorites: High Tension. It has its flaws, for sure, but if you can get past the one major flaw ... well then it’s darn near perfect.

That’s addressed in the opening slide. Author drew the line at Halloween, but recognized that Chainsaw and others are arguably slashers.

I thought they were going there with the Dubai Air thing ... presumably alienating your largest sponsor would create some major financial issues. But that (at least for now) seems to have been abandoned. Maybe that storyline will come back.
