"The climate has to get worse for the benefit of the middle class" is a weird argument.

Takeshi plays some of it like a regular Ventures song and gives some of it a very Japanese twist.

Death to Smoochy is such a good movie. It was just terribly marketed.

My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel's original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.

I really do not know why Dredd didn't get a sequel. I thought it did pretty well in theaters.

I love every stupid minute of SolarBabies.

"You are Chikani!" is one of my favorite badly-delivered bad movie lines.

If you have not heard the episode of How Did This Get Made about it, you should definitely give it a listen: https://www.earwolf.com/episode/solarbabies-live/

You are not the first person I have read say it about that movie, so I am definitely going to have to check it out.

That movie is so highly underrated.

The Hamlet trailer is worth watching it for alone.

Breakfast of Champions - I don't care if it totally bastardized Vonnegut, I really liked it.

Mystery Men - Again, I don't care if it totally bastardized Bob Burden.

Titan AE

The female version of Ghostbusters.

Zardoz.

Hackers. Fuck you if you say one bad thing about this movie. It is glorious.

I love anise. So much. Do you like the salty licorice they like in Northern Europe? I can't get enough of that shit. Not just salty and licorice, but with a strong undertone of ammonia!

Also, three weeks ago, I went from a country that used only stupid weights and measures (America) to a country that only partially does (Britain) and it has not been easy. I don't care of Celsius is rational, all I know is that it's going to be a high of 4 today and of 12 on Thursday and that means nothing to me.

In this case, calling them POWs might be the right move, because torturing POWs is a war crime. So maybe we let them have the POWs thing this time?

 

It's nice that they're so polite.

He would say, "the power is yours!" Then he would fly away. Where did he go? Is there like a PlanetCave he just hangs out in and crochets until all the rings get used?

Almost certainly not news to any British people, but it was news to me and I think that's really cool.

I couldn't even imagine something like that in the U.S.
