I somehow avoided L&O until this Winter when I was home and sleep deprived with a baby. The episode I saw had a promising high school asian academic phenom gunned down in Chinatown after having a fight with his white girlfriend. They suspect Chinese Mafia and it turns out it was probably the racist as poo poo mother of the kid's friend and her failure elder son who was leaving racist as gently caress messages to the kid's family. At trial, the girlfriend says she saw the brother's work van and they get put away. 2 minutes before the episode ends, the girl's story is proven bunk and the murdermom gets out. Sure it was probably true to life when it comes to clusterfuck cases but god if it wasn't infuriating to watch.

Winnie Cooper Topanga Pink Ranger Kimberly and those that had Cable also remember Alex Mack Catalina from Space Cases (And then Suzie in S2) But yes, 99% of the initial draw from Space Cases was OMG ZACH ATTACK IS BACK. Always kind of hated the show never got a conclusion. It was like middle-school Farscape, before Farscape was a thing. And I'll forever hate myself for not saving this dumb digital trading card I got off of AOL keyword Nick of Catalina and Suzy And since I mentioned Farscape I really, really used to love catching it and talking about it with the one or two people that were sci-fi nerdy in my school. I was just so grateful it wasn't a Star Trek retread and that they tried to make everything different and actually had world-building. They were great at being just weird enough to feel creative, like Zahn's photogasm.

Kind of love that they called back to burning down the gym in the series. In retrospect Buffy's arc being 'naive vapid cheerleader' to 'cynical, disillusioned put-upon foster mom' really wasn't as progressive as I thought it was at the time. Nor was her relationship with an older dude with anger issues. FilthyImp has a new favorite as of 16:00 on May 25, 2019 |

I'm also a fan of the takedown that said "The Punisher is what happens when a white man thinks his family's the only recorded casually of gang related crime"

Spice World has a scene where a big budget action FX sequence is supposed to happen and it just cuts to.... barbies and a toy bus being pushed off of a shoddy kids-sized bridge. It is an insanely campy and fun movie. BrigadierSensible posted:The Spice Girls movie is to me one of the best affectionate piss takes ever.

They solicited fan art for that episode. The better SP episodes are the ones where they deviate from the house style in some way, like the Ninjas episode or the WoW one. Though the Awesome-O 5000 episode is good just to watch Cartman be miserable.

Oliver and Company was the one film I spent all my childhood wanting to find because it was everywhere when I was a kid and I never got a chance to watch it in theatres. I think it got shoved in the disney vault pretty quickly. So my childhood is littered with the drat Christmas ornaments from MickeyD's and the dumb song clip that ran in commercials and trailers that goes "Why should I worry! Why should I ca-ah-are" but next to nothing about the film itself aside from Cheech Marin chihuahua

Of course he would become the Joker and have this orobouros cause and effect thing with Bruce.

Way back when Starship Troopers was first announced, I was waiting for someone in a theatre lobby and I was just kind of doing the slow scan of the poster to kill time. Some mid-30s guy walked by and was like "if it's anything like the book, it'll be an amazing movie" and just walked on with his popcorn and hot dogs. I often wonder what his opinion of the film was.

By Kevin Smith's account, Willis harbors no illusions about the kind of films he works on. And unlike Cage, who will genuinely give a performance, seems that Bruce just checks out if it's a cashgrab.

The first Austin had a plot. As well as being a sendup of the spy genre (that ridiculous rotating circular couch is actually *in* one of those dumb 60s films so there were a lot of Easter Eggs around), it treated Austin like an actual character. He has legitimate setbacks in adjusting and actually grows by the end. The second was a 90-whatever minute excuse to write sketches featuring the character and to undo any growth from the first one in ways that were MST3K dumb. But Heather Graham was cute. Yes I watched it twice, once at a sneak preview the night before it opened when that poo poo was almost unheard of. It was a huge cultural moment.
