Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was supposed to be a jumping off point for that CGI creation becoming a digital actress. Even got her shoved into Maxims Hot 100 Babes or whatever as a publicity stunt. What a time to be alive.

Honestly, even if the actors gladly consented and got paid whole boats of money I'm not sure I want to live in a world where the same handful of movie stars just exist in perpetuity forever. Like I enjoy Samuel L Jackson, but do I need or want him being a regular movie star into 2085?



It's like the man himself, George Lucas has been saying for years: Sebulba IS available.

I don't think I was ever fed liver and onions as a kid or knew anybody who was.

I've since had it myself, it's decent.

In all fairness like a decade earlier I feel like everyone had the same aversion to sushi. Which was like the weirdest, most foreign food ever to America in the 80s and early 90s.

You could probably chart changing American attitudes toward sushi to show how opinions shift, from the Simpsons episode where working class average joe Homer is suspicious of sushi but ultimately likes it to a crass New Jersey mobster like Tony Soprano casually liking sushi in one of the last seasons because it's good.

I’m sure they’ll do the Cars movies at some point. An animated movie with Larry should get Eric extra agitated.

He's also in a Madea movie. I don't remember which one and I don't care enough to look it up.

I don't know if the boys watch this thread, but Deep Water on Hulu might be a Once in A Lifetime contender. This was a high budget, well-acted Lifetime movie. I laughed throughout the movie but I'm not sure if I was supposed to.

I read the book recently but have not seen the movie. Are the snails in this version?

Deep Water snail handler tells all: Ben Affleck was 'exceptionally good' with the gastropods

The New York Times posted:

In 1946, while walking past a New York City fish market, Highsmith spotted two snails locked in a loving embrace. Intrigued, she took them home, placed them in a fishbowl and watched their wriggling copulation, spellbound. As was typical of Highsmith, she was riveted by what others found repulsive or nauseating. “They give me a sort of tranquility,” she said of the gastropods. “It is quite impossible to tell which is the male and which is the female, because their behavior and appearance are exactly the same,” she wrote elsewhere.

Highsmith’s fascination with snails only grew from there. She reportedly kept three hundred of them in her back garden in Suffolk, England, and once brought about a hundred with her to a cocktail party, hidden along with a large head of lettuce in her handbag, which she delighted in showing to surprised guests. Moving from England to France, Highsmith was prohibited by law from bringing her snails into the country, so she smuggled them in under her breasts, fitting up to ten under each.

Sorry for the digression, this was just knowledge I had to share

holy poo poo the commentary movie (A Talking Cat?!?) truly is something else. That movie is ROUGH. Like porn level rough of acting, cinematography, editing, audio, lighting, effects, direction, set dressing, makeup... its truly one of the worst things they've watched. I dont even know if you need to watch the movie to get something out of the commentary. It's truly abysmal. Commentary is good, but like you kinda get everything you need out of the movie after about 25 minutes. def have a couple tall glasses of water before hand.

Multiple porn movies(some gay softcore ones by the same director as A Talking Cat!? and some straight hardcore ones by other directors) have been filmed at the same mansion most of the movie takes place in.

I want to say they half-heartedly said they'd do DS9? But I may be making that up. I don't think they ever thought it would get this far. I think they're almost halfway done with TNG, which is just insane.

Andrew's become a fan of DS9 so he might be up for it.

I was a bit too young to see it in theaters, but I saw it later and haven't seen it in years, but iirc, one major scene revolves around them secretly filming a classmate undressing and we're not supposed to see this as hosed up

A large part of why it's one of the all time top grossing films is because everyone say it in 3D. So normal blockbuster audience numbers X exorbitant luxury ticket prices = the illusion of deep and lasting popularity.

Kirk Cameron gaslighting his brother-in-law into accepting that Jesus is the only son of the Invisible Hand of the Free Market was way more entertaining than what I remember of Christmas With the Kranks.

I love Saving Christmas, though you shouldn't pay money to see it because gently caress the people that made it.

From Saint Nicholas murdering a man in a brutal bar fight to Kirk rambling about how the presents represent the skyline of a New Jerusalem, it's an experience

So seriously, has anyone actually heard of that Dominick the Donkey song they mentioned on AD? I'm the same age as the gang but I guess my generic white ancestry is 0% Italian because I'd NEVER heard of this before, and them acting like it was something everyone knew by heart was so weird. Maybe you'd also just hear it more in the Northeast I guess.

I have heard it, but I imagine growing up in NY you might hear it more often.

This is a recurring problem and it does not seem that hard to fix, but the Oscars really wanted time to do gratuitous Little Mermaid trailers and the four slow ballads that are nominated for Best Original Song.

Even a movie like Wayne's World - which is still a good movie - usually elicited little more than sensible chuckles from me the last time i watched it not 10 months ago.
That movie used to crack me up.

A lot of times with comedies it helps to either be high, in a group with people who haven't seen it or only vaguely remember or it, or be a teenager in the first place.

they should just remake the movie with the WHM gang, but turn it into a three stooges spoof.

Is there any other horror series where everyone seems to agree the first one is the worst one? Usually the first one is considered the best, or at least, not a low point.

I thought at least some of them liked Saw X, according to the On Screen? I haven’t seen the movie (I noped out of that franchise after part 3), so I have no opinion, but that was a surprising addition.

Sometimes it's not the movies they hate the most, just the ones that'll be most fun to talk about.
