  • Death to Smoochy is such a good movie. It was just terribly marketed.

  • My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel's original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

    People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.

    But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.

  • I really do not know why Dredd didn't get a sequel. I thought it did pretty well in theaters.

  • I love every stupid minute of SolarBabies.

    "You are Chikani!" is one of my favorite badly-delivered bad movie lines.

    If you have not heard the episode of How Did This Get Made about it, you should definitely give it a listen: https://www.earwolf.com/episode/solarbabies-live/

  • That's my situation too. Got the Kobo Clara Color as a Christmas present for myself (the color was like $10 more, so what the hell) after resisting eBooks for years, and I really love it.

    They take almost any ebook type, but they do have their own proprietary format, KEPUB. That's what their own store uses. Thankfully, Calibre can convert to and from it. Due to Kobo being able to more easily handle zooming in to images and things like that with KEPUB, it's sometimes worth converting.

  • He was legitimately funny when he started doing standup in the late 80s.

    Unfortunately, his entire act became, "I am a man who does manly things, here is my annoying grunt sound."

    Also once legitimately funny: Jeff Dunham.

    Hey, you know how funny it is that Gerald Ford is clumsy? Let's not talk about the whole pardoning Nixon thing. "Live from New York..."
