“I feel like the next movie I make needs to feel like a movie that I absolutely have to make. No one but me could make it. And I did think other people could make Polly Pocket,”

“ARE YOU NOT EN2TAINED?”

But our kids are gonna love it.

As a kid, we thought it was hilarious! 

I already really wanna see this but this backstory about the title change makes it even more inticing.

Looks like they are doing a Western. The opening shot of the trailer with Ben in the doorway is basically the end of The Searchers and there is a lot of Western costuming.

“ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED...” *looks at camera and smirks* “... AGAIN!?”

It’s because it was produced by Ben Folds. As was that whole album, Has Been. It’s insane how good that entire album is.

I don’t think you realise the dire reputation the AV Club comment section has developed over the past couple years for what was once the only funny and intelligent comments section on the internet, but you’re playing exactly into that reputation.

I did two in May, so you’re behind on both your cheering and your booing, buddy. 

Fair enough.

I think Dial of Destiny is an okay Indy movie with some really smart twists and a fantastic ending that paid off a thoughtful and relatable contemporary angst that seems to translate well across generations. If anything, it was saved by taking the time to become a character piece at the end and once it got bored with…

Anyone else vote for more When Romance Met Comedy?

Well, I feel silly now. But I agree about it being a good time to be reading the AVC - not because it’s better than it was several years ago - it’s not - but the reappearance of some of the well-regarded features and writers at least has this site’s quality moving in the right direction.

Well, technically speaking, not *now* Run the Series. I did two of them last month!

Crystal Skull did $300 million domestic in 2008 — it made about the same as Iron Man — so I’d say there was a fair amount of demand there. It certainly wasn’t because there was wildly positive buzz about the movie (though I do think the “people hate this one” generalization is a total internet-era exaggeration).

Maybe…

I don’t think that the Everything Everywhere All At Once-sparked Ke Huy Quanissance had happened before Dial of Destiny had really gotten into pre-production.

Not really pointless- Connery, Moore, & Dalton all get a brief call back to Lazenbee’s Tracy. It could have been worked into the beach scene in Goldeneye, too.

if you reframe the series through marion’s eyes it’s truly a horror.

The reason for that opening at Tracy’s grave in For Your Eyes Only is that Moore initially wanted to retire after Moonraker, so they wanted the next actor to get an introduction tied into the franchise’s past. Then he decided to stick around, so it’s just kind of pointless.
