My secret shame is that I don't find butts, buttholes, farting, or feces funny at all.

Same. While there are some exceptions, most scatological or grossout humor completely misses me.

I finally caught Minus One the other day, myself. (The first film I saw in theater since The Lighthouse.)

The criticisms that it feel like Godzilla-by-way-of-Spielberg are about correct, in both the good and bad sense. The theater actually had a power outage toward the end, so I ended up missing everything between the destroyers crossing paths and Godzilla being towed back out of the depths.

Yes. Knock on wood, but it's an epic well up there with LotR and GoT in how dense and well thought out the world is.

LotR is three paperbacks long.

There's no modern equivalent. There are still goths, but gothic style and music has been mainstreamed to the point that I don't think there are a lot of teenagers and early 20somethings who feel the need to identify as part of a goth subculture.

Yeah, calling yourself a goth doesn't really mean anything beyond have certain aesthetic prefs. Some folks are just down for the Count. :shrug:

Thats incredibly cool would love to hear about his storage of the prints and films he got he wasnt expecting, like you're bit about him having a ton of reels to catalog, if anything rare came out of a similar moment.

There's apparently a movie being released soon about the heart-warming bond between a man an a wounded fox he found. It's set during WWII. And the man is part of an Austrian unit that occupied France.

Unless that fox whispered to the man to desert or to sabotage his side I really don't understand how this is a story we're meant to want to see.

Watch this be some cynical take on The Little Prince.

There's not much that offensive exactly, but the super early Discworld novels have some matter-of-factness about some crass genre cliches that the newer books handle a little better.

Still probably fine for kids.

When people say consumerism in this context, they mean an obsession with getting stuff. The mall is a symbol of the getting of stuff because up until malls all died like 15 years ago, they were the place you went to get stuff.

Honestly, they weren't/aren't at all. Malls were/are just a generic third space people could go take a walk without worrying about the weather and to meet up with friends. People by-and-large did not go to malls to shop. Malls were built to accommodate people so afterwards they could build stores where people hung out.

You don't go to the mall to shop at Hot Topic. You shop at Hot Topic because you were already at the mall, anyways.

That rumor has always bothered me because it seems to have come from other people deciding on Shelly Duvall's behalf that her experience should have been traumatizing. But when you listen to what she actually has to say aboutit, she mostly complains how having to cry was physically draining and otherwise seems to have a high opinion of Kubrick.

Pitch Black has a perfectly calibrated amount of Vin Diesel. Any more would be excessive.

Not quite agreeing. You put that amount of Vin Diesel into any other movie than Pitch Black, you get Bloodshoot.

Granted, but part of calibration is making certain that every other parameter is correct as well.

I haven't seen any of the sequel trilogy recently enough to say, but TLJ did have me hopeful that the sequel trilogy would be about something, but it turns out that "casting aside nostalgia/sentimentality for its own sake" is too big an ask for the audience

I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations.



it was me. I made Gústi.

The whole thing was a hit but the lines regarding the swim team, the ocean's strongest material, and the final apology to the Icelandic Wrestling Association got the biggest laughs.
