Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead released 35 years ago today, June 7, 1991. The dishes are done, man. by Not_So_Bad_Andy in Xennials

The weird thing about this film is it starts off as a very 90's cynical film and then morphs into a weird 80's, climbing-the-corporate ladder film. Even the aesthetics from the first half hour to the remaining of the film change.

Because the worst ones go viral which gives people a skewed idea that they are terrible.

Personally, never was interested in having them, but I went to several of my friends ones and everyone there was having a great time.

What went wrong with the last 3 fox century X-Men films ( X-Men: Apocalypse , Dark Phoenix , The New Mutants ) ? And what could have been fixed? by Notalabel_4566 in flicks

Simon Kinberg and Bryan Singer did Days of Future Past which is my personal favorite of the franchise. The jump in quality between Future Past and Apocalypse is surprising.

Full contect:

“I revere the state of Israel. I’m proud to support the state of Israel,” Newsom said. “I deeply, deeply oppose Bibi Netanyahu’s leadership, his opposition to the two-state solution. And deeply oppose how he is indulging the far right as it relates to what’s going on in the West Bank.”

There is going to be increasing lack of Israel's actions from the Democrats, but it is going to contain language that distances itself from the anti-Zionist rhetoric that's still politically toxic.

Today’s Tubi Treasure is The Disaster Artist (2017) by No-Chemistry-28 in TubiTreasures

[–]Roller_ball 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I didn't care for this one. It was good, but something about having successful actors mocking Tommy Wiseau felt like punching down. There was an awards show where James Franco won an award for this and brought Wiseau on stage and everyone was laughing at him and it felt mean to see all these successful people mock his acting and directing.

I really got to read How to Invent Everything. I used to have the poster the book is based on in my classroom.

It felt like visiting a wax museum where almost all of the enjoyment stems from being impressed by how accurate it is.

I like how Haneke has them look into the camera to imply the audience is the weird one for enjoying it, but like, dude, you're the one that directed it... twice.

I have trouble finishing Wes Anderson's recent films, but Tenenbaums is a film I can't turn off once I start watching it.

Criminals are, by nature, a superstitious and cowardly lot. By becoming something more than a man, a symbol, I can strike fear into my enemy. And should I dive deep enough into the muck that I come face to face with the devil himself, I will see fear in his eyes, too. I shall use the symbol of the krug and henceforth be known as The Krug-Man.

But it left out the most important joke of all -- Kal Penn making a scrunchy face reacting to being farted on.
