And Malcom in the Middle's title is deceptive about its place in the timeline.

The original one is hosed up. Everyone remembers the garden of candy, no one remembers the chicken getting its head cut off.

Tim Burton makes Violet Beauregard hyper competitive, because excessive gum chewing is such a small and petty thing to elevate to one of the seven deadly sins of childhood, but then the Oompah Loompah song is just about chewing gum anyway.

I love that the Tim Burton movie was all like 'this is going to be more accurate to the book and a more accurate adaptation overall!' and then it threw in the absolutely unneeded subplot about Wonka's dad being some sort of evil dentist.

Its nice that its Christopher Lee, but still, ugh. Wikipedia posted:Burton and August also worked together in creating Wilbur Wonka, Willy's domineering dentist father. Burton thought the paternal character would help explain Willy Wonka himself and that otherwise he would be "just a weird guy". Yes, Wonka IS a weird guy. That's the point. Fucks sake, Tim Burton.

Can't have a movie without daddy issues apparently. Though at least the dentist was also an inexplicably weird guy. ed: League of Inexplicably Weird People

DMX is the tenth Dungeon Master. His seminal 2003 anthem X Gon' Give It to Ya is actually a clever mnemonic device designed to teach mathematics to youngsters in a catchy and engaging way by way of various barks, growls, and witty wordplay by DMX himself.

Spalec posted:Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom: Seriously, auctioning the dinosaurs for $10-20 million for a dinosaur? At least make it a few billion. Netflix paid hundreds of millions for the rights to stream Friends for a year or 2. Whoever wrote this script has no concept of money. It's especially dumb because they aren't just buying a dinosaur. Due to cloning technology and lack of alternate supply, they're essentially buying all of that breed of dinosaur. It's like the difference between buying a golden retriever, and buying the right to be the only person on the planet who can supply golden retrievers to anybody.

I also doesn't see why you would buy an ankylosaurus when you can buy a raptor. It's like buying a dreamcast console instead of a ps5

Ankylosaurus is the best dinosaur, you tasteless jerks.  Even if I did just learn this year that it's not pronounced "ankly-saurus" on account of being knobby like an ankle.
