pentyne posted:Chandler had a job making so much where during the run-up to their wedding Monica found out that his savings were insanely high, likely 6+ figures, and she wanted to spend it all on her dream wedding. Even as a kid I remember being shocked that the episode ends happily with him agreeing to drain his savings to fund her big time wedding. Monica did just fine.

They have a reputation of being terrible and aging even worse but, upon thinking about it, there's actually been several good ones.

Why would an eclipse affect powers? There was an eclipse in episode 1 and it didn't do that. Immortal weeb dude was locked underground for centuries, right? Sunlight doesn't affect powers. You know what, gently caress it, forget I asked.

Krispy Wafer posted:The Conan comics aren't THAT bad. Like the examples I posted were terrible, but they were notable because I hadn't seen such overt racism in the comic. Usually it's swarthy Middle-easterners or sinister vaguely Asian looking wizards, but none of them are stereotyped to their race. This is why I prefer the barsoom series. Just a whole lot of titties and fighting oh, none of this racist bulshit.

fartknocker posted:Yeah. El Dorado is essentially the same exact plot and characters, although I think it was played a little bit lighter/more comedic than Rio Bravo. Wikipedia also says Rio Lobo was the third time that Howard Hawks and John Wayne did the same basic plot, but I honestly don’t remember that movie at all. Yeah, Rio Lobo was the weakest of them. I think El Dorado is the strongest because Robert Mitchum and James Caan make a better set of partners than Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson. Angie Dickinson and Walter Brennan are great in Rio Bravo, though.

Part of the comedy equation is the person has to make terrible decisions and be in continuous conflict with other characters. A really nice and generous person is boring.
