I vaguely remember him being involved in some controversy but all I could find is that he groped the doll they used to stand in for the Olsen twins when they weren't available, got any deets?

He was very credibly not accused by Gilbert Gottfried at a ceremony held for Mr. Saget. Specifically, he raped and murdered someone in 1990.

Very interesting decision by Bill Hader to give a career low performance in the new season of curb your enthusiasm.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I feel like that was the case too but as the web content farms mercilessly crushed old media it eventually got actual legitimacy.

It’s an incredibly dumb metric though because it automatically skews towards higher aggregate scores just by how it converts a subjective review into “positive” or “negative”.
The whole point is to figure out which movie currently in theaters is most broadly considered at least "ok" to the critics and thus which movie will be the most broadly acceptable to your diverse group of coworkers and/or chums when deciding which movie to see. At least, this was the idea before the dark times, before the pandemic.

This breaks down a bit when it comes to indie movies that are only watched by critics who will like that type of movie, but those movies are unlikely to be playing on your 20+ screen megamegamultiplex anyway.

If you just want a pure critical aggregate, Metacritic exists for that.

Why didn’t he get sucked up into all the proton packs in the crop field at the end of GB:A like the rest of the ghosts in the town did?

Also when Girl Egon phoned the number from the commercial why didn’t the call go to the old firehouse which Dan Ackroyd said was now a Starbucks?

Being the Ricardos mini-review:

This would have been Studio 60-level poo poo if it weren't for Javier Bardem's eeking out an amazing performance from a dogshit script. (Nicole Kidman was fine, but couldn't elevate herself above the Sorkin-ness of it all.) I think Sorkin knows exactly 2 ways to make people seem smart on screen, and once you figure them out you'll see that he just does them over and over. One of those tricks is to have something wildly stupid ingrained in the situation, have all the other characters treat it as completely normal, and then have the "genius" character point out that it's stupid and fix it, blowing everyone away.

The most egregious example of this was when Lucy was re-blocking the dining room scene. Somehow, in defiance of how every dining scene is shown in the history of depicted art since at least the Last Supper, Fred & Ethel's would be seating with their single chair between the audience and the table, and thus they would have their backs to the audience. Lucy realizes that they need to instead move their seat to the other side of the table, like staged productions have been doing since theatre was invented. This is treated as proof of her keen intellect.

The only reason I like Steve Jobs so much is Sorkin's obnoxious dialogue is perfect for such a massive shithead.

What bothered me the most about that trailer is the line from Uncle Phil about 'why do we need to save this boy.'

In the sitcom, Uncle Phil gave Will a lot of tough love and wasn't afraid to put his foot down and give him a kick in the rear end. But he never once questioned whether Will needed to be saved or whatever. He did it because Will is family and it was the right thing to do. It feels like a serious change for the worse to Phil's personality.

The actor that's playing Will made a "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air but a drama" clip and Will Smith liked it so much he's executive producing it

This is actually a good point however.

Though I have to say that in the original when Uncle Phil was frustrated with Will, Vivian (when she had a character) had to reassure Phil that it was going to be for the best to really keep trying with Will, kinda like that bit in the trailer.

Nobody involved with this is, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, respect to old show. They are going to pave over it with dour "makes you think ohh so cereal" prestige RV garbage. Smith is out of touch and doesn't know poo poo about anything which is why you get poo poo like After Earth.
They don't know why people like the original show and there is zero chance this one sticks around. My guess is another After Earth where everyone goes 'the gently caress is this'

That's not a bad idea. I think Good Times is kinda close to a Happy Days but for black Americans. It even has a guy shouting catchphrases.

Because of Riverdale's success, I wouldn't doubt that almost any old IP can be made into a trashy soap opera and be a huge hit.

Because of Will Smith's heavy involvement and the origins as an internet meme, I doubt this is going to work.

He was originally a hot shot lawyer who later ran for office. That must have been a huge reduction in pay though.

At this point, I would not be surprised if there's a storyline where Uncle Phil is a crook.
