  1. When did disliking Ernest films become an option? When you watch his movies, you'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll see turtle paratroopers from the sky!
  2. I can't see anything about Paul Revere and not think of either a CRACKED or MAD magazine comic strip where they were lampooning the revolution and they have Paul Revere yelling "To arms! To arms" and this guy in a night cap and shirt is yelling out his window "If you don't shut up, I'll BREAK your TWO ARMS!"
  3. I think you can have 'green great dragon' if 'great dragon' is considered a compound noun. Which I think it would, as you're not saying great as an adjective but as a classification of the dragon. This also means you could accurately describe said creature as a 'great, green great dragon'...
  4. I've just seen clips too - I'll be interested to hear what you think of it.
  5. I liked Ice Age...my mom did as well. She was almost 60 when it came out. Not sure age matters much.. I think the second one works better, though, as there's a certain hit the lesson story beats that animation aimed at kids get that tge first Ice Age suffers from. For what it's worth, I didn't think my people disliked TWISTER, either...
  6. Looks like a high fantasy adaption of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" to me. I don't get comedy vibes at all.
  7. Norman Lloyd actor (including Hitch****'s Sabateur), director and former member of Welles' Mercury Theater.
  8. They claim to not be political, but in it for the money - https://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/criminal-gang-colonial-pipeline-shutdown-motive-was-financial/2LCW5YEDT5CDDARLM7VXRJA2UM/
  9. TNG - Time's Arrow I think this two-part episode is kind of half baked. Is the episode about aliens killing people in the past or the cast meeting Sam Clemmons? Where is Clemmons' wife? Clemmons was majorly in debt at this time and churning out writing and criticism to stay afloat, yet none of that seems to matter to tge story. Why does the crew just accept they can't help the aliens because they tell them they can't? How much damage could they continue to do without the serpent staff? Data used gambling to get money in the past, but Picard doesn't (since he has no money to pay rent) so where do the period costumes come from? Riker's and Crusher's cover story makes sense to give them access - but how are Jordi and Troi allowed free reign in the hospital? Clemmons was pro-imperialism until about 1899, so his expectation and dismay over the Enterprise being conquering vessel doesn't fit. Data's death as represented by the head from ep 1 is handwaved away in ep 2 when damage and time are ignored to make Data whole again.
  10. RIP. I primarily knew her from this:
  11. Isn't the whole thing a troll anyhow? There's nothing online that indicates this happened that doesn't come back to this tweet and the now deleted tiktok (and from what I can tell the largest lgtbq+ discord is still active and I find it weird that Discord wouldn't be able to restore anything despite what an admin does since typically corporations would have access to server backups)
  12. It's sensationalism writing regardless of the subject; the article comes off as particularly hyperbolic in style. It sounds like, reading between the lines as I haven't read the document they reference, they're trying to push the curriculum towards less computational focus to focusing on things like logic and structures which can be a benefit in later courses. It'd be nice if they threw in some practical accounting, but probably won't happen.
  13. This isn't really funny, but I think the most ambitious crossover was still WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. In both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Supernatural case, they were ultimately dealing with in-house issues (Marvel and WB respectively). WFRR had to deal with (from memory) 5 different companies that didn't always like each other and their extensive rules for how their characters had to be portrayed to create a relatively comprehensive Toon Town (with some notable exceptions like Casper and Popeye) so that cartoon characters could seemingly exist in a human world. ... I know this isn't really a funny post, but this post made me think, which probably isn't a good idea.
  14. I don't want to put words in Skarpen's mouth, but I think he may be referring to the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity that's been going on since 1909. During a practice for the Republican team in 2017, Steve Scalise was shot.
  15. Remember to take the high ground with them, or you'll run into trouble.
  16. Previous thread: Last few posts:
  17. Technically, I didn't immediately leave, I just continued lurking. I barely have time to watch the TV shows I'm rotating through now, without adding another one. Also I don't own or have an easy way to watch Sailor Moon (although, since I watched the DIC version in syndication years ago, it might be nice to watch and see how the thing actually ended so I probably eventually will).
  18. Artist John Paul Leon
  19. Hitchco ck took a lot of liberties with most of the books his films adapted when he did adaptions.
  20. Not really surprising, since he got his start working for Roger Corman.
  21. 80s Italian Blaxploitation films at that. But I'm not sure why they left off the fourth Black Cobra film... Happy Birthday!
