One of my favourite things about #SolarOpposites - one of the main characters is named “Terry”. So whenever “Korvo” angrily says “Terry’s” name (which is often) I love it, because it makes me feel like I’m personally causing hilarity IN the show. Neat. Ⓐ

The dumb #CuriousGeorge #PBS cartoon was on for too long. I saw a few episodes, and can say it’s a show that viewed children with contempt. The books MUST be WAY better than the cartoon - but it’s been decades since I read one of those books, so I can’t pass judgment. Oh well. Ⓐ

#RogerEbert: “Here he plays a man named #JohnMilton, a reference I fear will be lost on the film’s target audience. …After inconceivable violence, they link destinies.” #DriveAngry Ⓐ rogerebert.com/reviews/drive-…

#RogerEbert: “…I don’t need to tell you what the [Chicago] Cubs did in 1908.” Terry: “Did they play baseball?” #DiminishedCapacity Ⓐ rogerebert.com/reviews/dimini…

The vast majority of movies are afraid to show female characters (ESPECIALLY physically attractive female characters) having a bowel movement. I must emphasize, I dislike the film #TheChangeUp - but admire the film’s (and #LeslieMann's) balls for showing a HOT female shitting. Ⓐ

My only complaint about #Pleasantville - is its simplistic argument for defeating fascism. Yes, the bloodless happy ending fits the film. But in REAL-LIFE, if fascists are running “the state” - they’ll imprison and/or kill a lot of people who refuse to do what they’re told. Ⓐ

Yeah, the hero in #Pleasantville didn’t remain a fascist - he saw the error of his ways. And I was impressed by the transition of the 1950s sitcom universe from black and white to colour - and how it brings out ugly reactionary tendencies in many of the fearful townsfolk. Ⓐ

Re-watched #Pleasantville. It’s about a reactionary fascist (#TobeyMaguire) who is OBSESSED with 1950s sitcoms - then finds himself inside the universe of such a sitcom. And he spends half the movie running around, trying his best to prevent “change”. Just like a true fascist! Ⓐ

Final thoughts on the movie #TheChangeUp? How, HOW can you make an R-rated “comedy” about two dudes switching bodies - and end up with a COMPLETELY UNFUNNY film? Aside from there being NO laughs, the movie’s greatest sin is the disgraceful and inappropriate “happy ending”. Ⓐ

I suppose the main highlight of #TheChangeUp was the sight of #LeslieMann’s beautiful tits and beautiful ass - right before her character takes a loud dump. As a fan of toilet humour - props for including the bowel movement scene in the film (despite it being unfunny). Ⓐ

The more movie reviews I read (written by #RogerEbert) the more convinced I am he was a prude - something he ALWAYS and VOCIFEROUSLY denied. If you wanted to disprove his claims - all you’d need to do is cite his reviews of the films #Slackers and #TheChangeUp. Ⓐ

I watched #TheChangeUp, after reading #RogerEbert’s review. He made it sound like the film is the pinnacle of degeneracy. Well, I couldn’t believe how tame the UNRATED version was - but I concede, the public urination scene (in front of children) does deserve condemnation. Ⓐ

Yes, I would say #SilentNightDeadlyNight5TheToyMaker is in the league of the film #Deadgirl, when it comes to inventive sex scenes. Zombie rape? The movie Deadgirl raised the legitimate issue of whether a “zombie” deserves to be treated as a human being. And it does. Ⓐ

Re-watched #Deadgirl - one of the most depraved films I’ve ever seen. Even the “hero” in that film - ultimately gives in to his baser instincts, and becomes as evil as every other male in the movie. Males look worse in this film, than any other film I recall seeing. Ⓐ

Which reminds me - I’ve heard people describe #Slayer as a largely “unpopular” band, based on album sales. Well, when metal fans are comparing Slayer’s consistent discography versus, say, #Metallica’s often embarrassing discography - it is CLEAR Slayer is the superior band. Ⓐ

Despite re-listening to #Slayer’s amazing discography recently, I posted NONE of their songs or music videos. Why? There was so much awesomeness, I would’ve been posting a trillion #Youtube videos. So I posted NOTHING - even though their ENTIRE output is FUCKING AWESOME. Ⓐ

#RogerEbert: “She has a line of dialogue that employs both the f-word and the s-word, and describes a possible activity that utterly baffles me. It is a threat, shall we say, that has never been uttered before & will never be uttered again.” #DeathRace Ⓐ rogerebert.com/reviews/death-…

Just to clarify - in #SilentNightDeadlyNight5TheToyMaker, the human female the robot tried to fuck did not consent. So the robot (aka android) committed sexual assault, even though he lacked a dick/genitals. It was the least harrowing sexual assault I’ve ever seen in a movie. Ⓐ

Keep in mind - #SilentNightDeadlyNight5TheToyMaker is a horror-comedy, and ALL of the humour is INTENTIONAL. It (in my opinion) never tries to be scary, even though it is quite gory. I nearly died laughing when the teenage boyfriend was trying to evade the buzzsaws! Ⓐ

You know the toymaker in #SilentNightDeadlyNight5TheToyMaker is evil, since he builds a man-sized robot, AND equips it with a sex drive - but NO genitalia. When the robot tries to fuck - the sex scene is HILARIOUS, yet also heartbreaking. It must be seen to be believed. Ⓐ
