I love how clear it is that they wrote this for Jack Black, he wasn’t available, and PSH was just like “ok, I’ll just give one of the five best Jack Black performances instead”
This is why I like Darth Vader in Star Wars (1977) way more than I do in any other project.
In this movie, he's portrayed way closer to the Emporer's weird Rasputin Monk friend than anyone with an actual role in the government, so everyone barely puts up with the fact he's there
Gronk Flakes (2012-2013): 2 months after inking the largest contract extension for any TE in history, the Patriots' Rob Gronkowski received his own cereal, frosted corn flakes. A portion of proceeds went to a youth charity foundation started by Gronkowski and his brothers.
I still haven’t seen Godzilla vs Kong but if the sequel isn’t a team-up called Godzilla And Kong with a trailer set to The Boys Are Back In Town than Hollywood’s doing something wrong
Today is also Vincent Price’s birthday and he was a bisexual icon who believed in art history for the masses and loved hot dogs and what he called “Rolley Coasters” so get your shit together Life Magazine
None of the Jurassic World movies are good, but the brief period where Fallen Kingdom becomes a haunted house movie with dinosaurs is probably the closest they get
My favorite part of ‘80s/‘90s action movies is the hilariously mismatched final fight where we’re supposed to be like “Boy I hope Sylvester Stallone/Carl Weathers can beat John Lithgow/Craig T Nelson in a one on one fistfight”
Knoxville would crush it...Popeye's fundamentally gotta be a scrapper. Can't actually be real buff, that's why he needs the spinach. Forearms can be prosthetic
It will never not be hilarious that old-ass movie producers’ reaction to the success of Batman wasn’t “more superhero movies” but rather “movies based on characters from the ‘30s”
The best actors are the ones who are able to Do the Exposition but not only make it sound natural, but to make it sound like the most compelling thing in the world. That's what these movies deliver tenfold
I was enjoying del Toro’s Pinocchio but wasn’t loving it until the moment Pinocchio points at a giant crucifix and was like “Why does everyone like that wooden boy, but hate me?”
Superman with glowing red eyes: Boring. Overdone. Sad attempt to make Superman look otherworldly and threatening.
Superman rolling up his sleeves: Cool as hell. Underused. Clark's a good ol' boy and he's pissed and gonna clean up some trash.
(Do want to just add, I don't really appreciate the dig at those without social skills in the middle as that's largely/often out of the hands of folks in a broad sense)
My favorite “Ebert baffles Siskel” moment of all time is his increasingly frantic defense of the movie Spawn which he compares to the work of Hieronymous Bosch
Andrew Yang: I’m gonna give ten families $1,000 a month. This qualifies me to be president.
Dawg, Dolly Parton did that for 100x as many people two whole years ago, so you best get in line until after she leaves the White House

I'm am constantly on my soapbox about how I like Star Wars way more as a single weird '70s space movie than as a multimedia franchise.
I love that the MCU Blade only exists because Feige called Ali after his Oscar win and was like "Hey, who would you be interested in playing" and Ali was like "Blade and only Blade" and to lock him in they decided to announce a Blade movie they didn't have any ideas for
Structurally, the craziest thing about the first Star Wars as an individual film is that Luke gets a lightsaber in the first act and then never uses it
Jordan Peele wisely knew that although you can cast both Keith David and Michael Wincott in your movie, you absolutely cannot have them in the same scene, because no human is prepared to hear two voices that cool at the same time.
To avoid making this mistake, please remember this helpful device to help you tell Leprechaun in the Hood and Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood apart.
"If a buckle on the hat you see
In the Hood be on TV.
If instead the hat is bare
Enjoy the sequel for a scare"

My favorite Lucas bit is when his rich neighbors blocked him from expanding Skywalker Ranch so he sold all of the land under the demand that it be developed as low-income housing in a move his neighbors described as "inciting class warfare"
It’s Dolly Parton’s birthday, and I reckon some of y’all don’t know about how she’s one of the greatest people on God’s Green Earth, so strap yourselves in for some fun facts
The last time Disney made a Magoo movie it was so controversial that if you stream it today, it's bookended by two completely different content warnings
Writing “Magoo” on the whiteboard. I look at the studio heads and nod. I add an “s” to the end and look at the studio heads and nod. I draw a line through the s, turning it into a dollar sign
Every one of you 20-somethings who are saying you should kill yourself instead of asking your local dentists to loan you money to make a genre masterpiece in the Tennessee woods is a coward
This was going to be the start of a thread on my thoughts on superhero murder but I got distracted and boy am I glad I did, because the Austin Powers part was way more popular than I expected and I don’t want to be yelled at by nerds for the next three days
Hellboy 2: The Golden Army was an $85 million swindle Guillermo del Toro perpetrated on Universal Studios just to let himself build a troll market in an abandoned underground limestone quarry that he got to walk around for a couple of weeks
A simple fix for Jurassic World would have been to either cast Parks and Rec-style Chris Pratt as a hapless janitor who happens to have a good rapport with the raptors, or actually model his character after actual naturalists instead of movie "cool guys"

*SHE ruined her own ceremony.
She’d be TA even if she just invited him and didn’t have anything for him to eat as a guest. He gave her multiple options and multiple chances to make this right and she turned them down.
I hope the movie was good
Feige had his opportunity when Wyatt Cenac and Jackson Publick pitched a '70s set Power Man/Iron Fist movie with Gosling and Terry Crews and he turned them down
THEYRE STILL PLAYING THE TERRIBLE JOHN TRAVOLTA SANTA SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER AD AT THE THEATER
If it's still here next week I'm going to lose it. They should have pulled it the moment it because Dec 26, I don't care that these are prob done on a weekly basis
Man, comic book movies were weird that decade. They had a huge hit with Burton’s Batman, then Marvel and DC both pretty much sat out the entire 90s while SIX movies were made based on Dark Horse books
Dom once stomped his foot like the Incredible Hulk and caused an entire parking garage to collapse and Thanos died twice in the same movie...no contest
Every action hero needs a hype-man -- some person whose sole purpose in a story is to let the bad guys know how absolutely fucked they are because they messed with this guy.
I still haven’t seen Godzilla vs Kong but if the sequel isn’t a team-up called Godzilla And Kong with a trailer set to The Boys Are Back In Town than Hollywood’s doing something wrong
Universal's constant attempts to jumpstart a Monster franchise is so funny when the obvious solution—the sequels to The Mummy should have been about Fraser/Weisz fighting the other monsters instead of more mummies—eluded them completely
What happened with Dark Universe is so fascinating to me because we've never seen anything like it. This wasn't even the first attempt. Far from! Universal kept making monster reboots that were meant to start something. None of them ever did. Let's go over the history (thread)
I'm excited to see what Watiti does from the ground up. I like a lot of the texture of Ragnarok, but all of its weakest elements come from being tied down to an existing draft/structure
It is so funny that this was the original intent until the Dream Warriors director came on and said "There's only one person who can possibly play this role, but if we cast him, we have to make a comedy instead."
