Kevin DuBrow posted:One of the original pitches that led to Scooby-Doo was titled Mysteries Five. There were five teens in the titular band and their bongo-playing dog called Too Much. They drove around solving mysteries in between gigs. I guess they kept the van but dropped the band part. Like Jabberjaw? Hanna-Barbera did a huge amount of "recycling" with their hits.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Hanna Barbera had been rebooting/revamping Scooby Doo since Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977 and Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo in 1979. A Pup Named Scooby-Doo came out in 1988, 35 years ago. They got two hits out of "cliché sitcom family, but in wacky setting!" so after caveman times and the future, why not ancient Rome? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F7hed5fcY8

I just randomly thought about The World According to Garp movie, and if I'm not mistaken, it starts with Garp's mother raping a comatose bomber pilot (which was treated as a joke), has bizarre straw feminists woven throughout the entire story, and features John Lithgow as a trans woman. I remember disliking the movie too much to rewatch it, but I think there's no way it hasn't aged like milk.

90s comic books have aged terribly, but I think the reason so many people poo poo on Liefeld is because they're embarrassed of just how cool all of his stuff was to them as a kid in the 90s.

Why does he have that flesh flap across his mouth? Even a 19th century surgeon could take care of that, and it seems like a huge pain in the rear end while eating.

The Star Wars EU at least succeeded in keeping Star Wars alive in the massive gap between the original trilogy and the prequels. Some fans didn't even have a movie released during their lifetimes until episode 1 came out. Some of the best Star Wars video games came out in that period. Shadows of the Empire was a media project that was basically all the associated media of a new movie without an actual movie, starring Dash "we have Han Solo at home" Rendar. Then Episode 1 came out and all those enthusiastic teenage fans immediately regretted everything.

well why not posted:the best part of modern star wars is herzog calling them out I think the same thing could be said about them putting R2D2 and C3PO into the prequels. They were too cowardly to let the movie have a completely new set of faces.

There is a porn parody of Grease that actually included parodies of the songs. Clips from it were doing the rounds on twitter a while back. Those songs were only slightly more horny than the originals.

It astonishes me that the Fu Manchu movies were still being made in the late 60s, but the last one (which was also Peter Sellers' last role) was made in 1980! It's supposed to be a comedy, but apparently not the type that satirizes its racist premise.

I refuse to believe that a remake of The Incredible Mister Limpet starring Jim Carrey is anything other than a hoax.

Baby It's Cold Outside is a song I don't remember hearing at all during any holiday season or other time of the year until boomers started rallying around it thinking they were scoring points in the culture war. I think whoever owns the rights to it did a media blitz a few years back to make money and gaslight people into thinking it was ever a beloved holiday classic in the first place, let alone one that was under threat.

Paper Tiger posted:There was also a background conversation in one of the games where a human thought Asari looked like a hot human, a Turian (where Turians look very non-human like) thought Asari looked like a hot Turian, etc. Basically implying that the Asari look like different things to different species. That would have been a cool twist if they explored it more. These were my assumptions about them as well when I played the first game. A race that exclusively looks like hot blue human women and were interfertile with every other species seemed incredibly suspicious and way too on the nose for the tone they were using. I guess that got left on the cutting room floor.
