I was really happy the Sonic movies kept in references to the weird chili dog thing from the cartoons. What was up with that, anyway? Why does Sonic and pals love chili dogs so much?

There's a particular version of A Christmas Carol where Patrick Stewart plays Ebeneezer Scrooge. Although I'm a fan of Stewart I did not think he put in his best work for this role. You'd think a Shakespearean actor would nail Scrooge. But since it's Patrick Stewart, I'm sure this adaptation is beloved by TNG fans.

I don't know what the Neez is really supposed to look like but I would not have picked Patrick Stewart for him. Chief O'Brien on the other hand, I think he could do it. And I don't mean just because his last name is Meaney.

That's a pretty widely-shared sentiment that you'll easily find in lot of places. A big part it was the decision to use Gonzo as a stand-in Charles Dickens - a lot of his narration is lifted word-for-word from the original work.

When I was like 5 years old my extended family had a Christmas Carol themed Christmas Eve party and I had to go as Tiny Tim. My parents made me wear tights for some reason. I remember hating that. Late 80s. Sorry. Random memory. And my mom, for this Christmas, just gave me the scarf my late dad wore for that party. What a coincidence.

I’m not gonna say I hate it, but Pixar’s Up feels like two separate good and bad movies to me. It has this moving four and a half minute montage of Carl and Ellie’s life together, which in itself would have made a great expanded movie on its own merits and could have also focused on the widowed Carl fending off development and saving his house. Then it turns to Shitsville with a Boy Scout, a bunch of balloons, a trip to South America, talking dogs who fly airplanes, some dumb bird, and Carl’s boyhood idol who for some reason lives in a dirigible and (gasp!) turns out to be a murderous rear end in a top hat. This is the bad “second” movie. There is actually more movie afterward, but the “first” movie could have ended with Carl viewing the scrapbook tying everything together nicely and giving him closure and the will to move on. That would have been a perfect movie. Many people call Up one of Pixar’s best, but they’re really only going on the manipulative, but emotionally effective speechless montage. Up is a bad movie with some decent bits in it.

Alastair Sim is the absolute gold standard for Scrooge. No one else seems to understand how to play the character.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I love athf but don't get a whole lot of other adult swim stuff. Perfect hair, Tom goes to the mayor, probably half of what Tim heidecker does. I don't hate it but can't summon any desire to watch it. That’s a good take, I enjoyed my share of adult swim back in the day but I don’t expect Sealab to hit the same as I am no longer 16. Even now I’ll watch a bit of a product & realize it’s adult swim & yup that’s fine but not for me anymore. Agreed on Tim Heidecker, definitely talented but his appearances on I Think You Should Leave summarize him well: -season 1: absolute classic as the jazz loving bad boyfriend -season 2: terrible overlong skit in a restaurant that goes nowhere -season 3: solid appearance where he’s not the lead

I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever heard of someone liking Ricky Gervais, versus liking something he’s in, like The Office. I assume they must be out there due to his inexplicable continued success, but they seem to have the good sense to not advertise their preferences.

If you want to relive the feeling of being a young adult and watching adult swim but actually laugh at it again, I strongly recommend Smiling Friends. It’s like the best evolution of irreverent adult swim humor without “so dumb that it’s funny” being the whole joke.

Yeah, I tried to watch Up and it didn't do a thing for me to keep me wanting to watch it past the first half or so. The thing thought about the boyhood idol reminds me that a very early 'in development' leak I seem to recall reading for Up almost felt like the character was supposed to be a protagonist of the story. I remember it saying that the movie was supposed to have a character who was this kind of this Indiana Jones type classic Hollywood adventurer who people stopped caring about. When we catch him as an old man, he's trying to prove his past reputation by having one last adventure and dragging along some disbelieving kid with him. I'd read this probably a few years before the movie came out, so I'm not sure if Pixar changed plans (not uncommon from what I heard of their development process in the 90s/00s) or the leak was fake/mistaken or someone's fanfic prediction based on hearing the premise.

Blue Moonlight posted:I’m honestly not sure I’ve ever heard of someone liking Ricky Gervais, versus liking something he’s in, like The Office. Hello, it's me. Saw Ricky originally on the 11 o' clock show back on the 90's, watched the original Office when it first came out, watched all of Extras and loved it (particularly the scene of Ronnie Corbett doing coke in the bathroom at the baftas), Derek, every single piece of Karl Pilkington content out there. Heck, I even own Animals and Politics on DVD. And still I'll admit he's not that great, the Karl Pilkington stuff is funny because of Karl, the Office is a fantastic tv show not because I like Ricky Gervais but because I thought David Brent was a knob. Hey at least he did the character better than Steve Carell, stick to the rubberface Steve it suits you more than the witty British company. Still, he's a fat weird looking little man from Reading who has made a fortune from making people laugh, you kinda have to admire that. In a way it gives us all hope that even at 40, you can get a big break and make it, LMAO Plus, young Ricky Gervaise, pretty good looking for British 80's  PS. The Invention of Lying is top 3 worst films I've seen in a cinema easily probably along with Pixels and the Alan Partridge movie JollyBoyJohn fucked around with this message at 10:53 on Jan 3, 2024 |

Zappa as a lyricist is often dumb, though with some fun parts. But the better songs pack in so many fun little musical themes and melodies and variations, and he attracted such fantastic band members (Ruth Underwood  ), that I'll happily ignore all that.

I'm not entirely sure what to make of Zappa. A few of his albums - Absolutely Free, We're Only In It, Sheik Yerbouti - are some of my GOATs. Occasionally Zappa could be really insightful (I agree with him completely about the meddling PMRC). But I'm not sure Zappa was nearly as clever as he sometimes thought he was, and he definitely was the type who was a living embodiment of the Homer meme: "everyone is dumb but me". Joe's Garage has great music on it but the "story" is a disappointment. It starts off promising, with something to say about censorship, but devolves into some of the crassest stuff he ever did. Not that I'm a prude; Catholic Girls and Stick It Out are great. But they're just sex jokes for the sake of sex jokes.
