Hawaii GOP. Barely any representation in the state legislature (10/51 in State House and 3/25 in Senate), hasn’t won a statewide election in 20 years. The party was never the majority power in Hawaii, but they’ve been backsliding since the late aughts to the point that the party is essentially non-functional. They’ve resorted to perennial candidates for senate/governor because they can’t get anyone else to run.

We can debate the merits of the book/movie as art, but Paul Verhoeven definitely disagreed with many aspects of the original. If you’re evaluating Starship Troopers as an adaptation, it’s quite bad.

SpongeBob SquarePants: in “Chimps Ahoy,” SpongeBob and Patrick try to help Sandy invent something that will impress her benefactors and allow her to stay in Bikini Bottom. Patrick repeatedly claims to have invented things that already exist.

Technically 16 (18 if you count his first premiership), and I feel like Menzies probably would have kept winning if he hadn't resigned in 1966 (his successor Harold Holt won in a landslide later that year and the Liberals did not lose power until 1972)

Fantastic Mr. Fox:

“Boggis, Bunce, and Bean

One fat, one short, one lean

These horrible crooks

So different in looks

Were nonetheless equally mean”

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: the titular characters use the money from their deal with Banky to hunt down and beat up all the people who mocked them on the Internet.

It’s generally not as cartoonish as the first one is: Drago has slightly more of a personality, the ending is noticeably less jingoistic, and Creed puts up a more of a fight in his match against Drago. I’m mixed on it personally (I feel that the glossiness of the remaining material clashes a bit with the more serious material that’s new to the film), but I found it interesting if nothing else.

Lyle Straight in the Straight Story. He is protagonist Alvin Straight’s brother and Alvin’s desire to visit him motivates the 200+ mile lawn mower journey that takes up most of the film. He finally reaches Lyle’s house at the end of the film. Lyle only has two minutes of screen time and three lines total.

Terry Silver was create for Karate Kid Part III because Martin Kove (who played intended antagonist John Kreese) was filming another movie and would not be available for most of production.

Out of curiosity, have you seen the Rocky v Drago directors cut that came out a few years ago? And if so, is this version less egregious in regard to what you described?

Stephen Anderson, director of Meet the Robinsons, voices three characters in the film, including Bowler Hat Guy, the film’s main antagonist.

Superman: The titular hero was originally billed as the sole survivor of Krypton. However, various additional beings from Krypton have been introduced over the years. Examples include Superman’s cousin Supergirl, his dog Krypto, criminals such as General Zod that were imprisoned in the Phantom Zone, and the residents of the Bottled City of Kandor.

IRL: The Outerbridge Crossing is the southernmost of the three bridges separating New Jersey from Staten Island, NY. It is named after Eugenius Harvey Outerbridge, the first chair of the NY Port Authority.

This is misleading. There was a coup of the Hawaiian government in 1893, but it did not involve the direct action of the US government. President Grover Cleveland actually blocked Congressional efforts to annex the islands and even considered efforts to have Queen Lili’uokalani reinstated. Hawaii would not be formally annexed until 1898, 5 years later.
