There are a hundred punchlines one could make right now about the remake we DID get. 😱🤦‍♂️

What if you want to be a road runner?…Beep-beep zip-TANG!

Ray Bradbury had a fetish for putting the word “October” in every one of his books, and this movie LOOKS like it. 🍁🪾🎃 Nice to see it escaping out of its Disney-hostage captivity and becoming a Halloween staple again.

Three, if you count House 3 so off-topic it originally had to go out under an assumed name, but…you don’t wanna know. Either you enjoy the “betrayal” of seeing H2 as a kid-friendly scifi-comedy with the other Cheers guy, or you just sigh sadly about the late 80’s.

To borrow the oddly appropriate meme reaction to the idea of women “tired” of public persecution-fantasy:

Child’s Play, after they took out cool 80’s button-pushing director Tom Holland, and gave it back to the self-struck gay screenwriter to turn the franchise campy and goofball.

Dudley got the job fresh off of his breakout slapstick-swinger supporting role in 1978’s “Foul Play”, and spent the rest of the 80’s playing Blake Edwards’ personal “Aging midlife-crisis swinger unhappily married to stodgy Julie Andrews” alter ego.

“First, you go to the beer hall and start a putsch.” “What’s a putsch?” “Y’know, that’s where you putsch’er beer down and wait for the pretzels, nyuk nyuk!”

Does that mean they’ll have to cancel the Tenchi Muyo episode where Tenchi hires Washuu to design a haunted house for the festival, and she creates a walk-thru portal into Jigoku?

(No, not the musical, that was Howard Keel.)

Look, that’s not going to work— How about I wait here and YOU f**k off?…Better?

😠 We already slapped around one guy for spreading SnoopySlop, now let’s take the fight to the reposters.

Is this a data center? No. This is a cow.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes, young Padawan… (Well, okay, not “only”. 🙄)

A toned-down remake of Nobuo Nakagawa’s 1960 “Jigoku” (“Sinners of Hell”), where an ugly criminal triple-cross goes bad, and all involved discover the torments waiting for them.

Yeah, if Tom Hanks is going to get Oscar-bait for playing D-Day soldiers and NASA astronauts, the least he could do is some veterans’-charity and science-education activism! Oh, wait…

Using AI Skynet for a quasi-Sarah Connor image…

If you mean they need to strip to their underwear and do the Duck-Walk Dance in public, it would make a nice change from that stupid Toddler Dance.

Which means it’s DEFINITELY not a Lewis Carroll quote. 🤦‍♂️ Apart from the Cheshire Cat, the only time any of the characters even admit to being a little mad:

Amy Heckerling directed comedies that were painfully, painfully bad, and SHE kept getting work.

Technically, the “Xerography” you see on 60’s Disney (and 70’s Saturday morning) credits refers to a new system by which finished drawings could be directly Xeroxed onto cels, without the Tracing department. Which is why 101 Dalmatians’ animation looks “sketchier” than Cinderella’s solid lines.

“Welcome to another edition of ‘Blood, Devastation, Death, War & Horror’ (chuckle! 😄)…And later on, we’ll be talking to an expert on gardening.”

000

And they even copied Exorcist III’s freakin’ POSTER! 🤦‍♂️

040

And didn’t have grumpy Sean Connery in it.

Carol Burnett always confessed she hated playing the part of the cynical hooker, since it was her first bigscreen movie role, it was for BILLY WILDER, she thought she was all wrong for the part, and panicking.

000

Today’s mean-girls couldn’t DEAL with 70’s mean-girl cheerleaders. No texts, no Instagram, you had to be mean in person.

Okay, I’ll bite: How is it “At the expense of chicks” when egg-chicks have traditionally been separated since the beginning of farming?

Technically, the song actually IS Lennon’s statement about “What if we had all the utopian pie-in-the-sky things Communism promised, only without the dirty word?” So, hate to break it to Mr. Carlson, but, er…. 😔

What women think they look like making psychotic-killer jokes Vs. - > What they look like to guys. 🤭

I refuse to believe I’m first with: “…How could you MISS?”

That’s right! We go fight the big shark! We save everybody! Yeah…We will, won’t we? We go out there! We’re gonna do this, aren’t we? ‘Cause that’s what we do! You and me! We’re heroes! 🎵”Cowboys don’t cry…”

And if you’d rather have an all-animated one, we’ve had one for 30 years. (And streaming every five minutes for FWA on PlutoTV’s “Anime Movies” channel.)

With shower-scene fanservice for Chun-Li. 😛

Although you don’t “drive” a motorcycle, you ride one. Unless you happen to be Robbie Reyes and his muscle car as “The Ghost”, from MCU’s Sony-appeasing Agents of SHIELD verse. 😒

000

I’ve tried to watch this film once or twice, but just keep hearing “Well, hello there, Eva.” Anthony Hopkins, you still see offscreen-bats**t Anthony Hopkins, but Bruno Ganz’s performance is no angel.

Is it possible? Our science advisor says…….”Yes.”

So, escape to Switzerland. 🤷‍♂️
