It’s after 3 AM and I need to shut down, but for a second there I thought you were talking about “Faraway, So Close”, which is the sequel to “Wings of Desire”, one of my favorite films ever.
54% on the tomatometer, could stand to go lower. :(
Had one gag that made me literally LOL… intentionally…
They’re trapped in a library, debating the morality of burning books in the fireplace to stay alive.
“How about all these tax books, can we burn these?”
Rise of Skywalker wasn’t good, but I give it a pass because of the just awful situation they were in.
Last Jedi shit the bed and painted them into a corner, then Carrie Fisher up and died when the 3rd film was supposed to be “hers”, the way Force Awakens was Han and Last Jedi was Luke, and the OG writer/director got bounced. :(
I really don’t know what they could have done, but I’ll still die for Babu Frik.
You’re thinking of Kung Fu Hustle, which is brilliant in every way.
-10/10, would force Trump, Musk, Putin, and Netanyahu to watch on repeat until they die as punishment for their crimes against humanity.
Only ESPECIALLY if it’s “the butthole version”. :)
It would probably be far harder granting Palestinians full and equal rights in a unified Israel than it would be having a functional two state solution, and that’s pretty fuckin’ hard as it is!
I wish I had the brain power necessary to solve for this one, but I don’t. Thousands of years of “But you people did x” and “you people did y first!”
Forgetting the operative word here is “people”.
:(
You kid, but have you seen what you can do with an ARRAY of Billy Bass? ;)
As a “last movie” it’s kind of infamous, like Raul Julia as Bison in “Street Fighter”.
I think the thing with Cats is that it’s totally OK if a broadway musical has no plot and doesn’t make sense, you’re going for the experience.
Film has a history of narrative and you just can’t drop in a word like “jellicle” and expect to get away with it.
OTOH complaining about jellicle in Cats would be a lot like walking out of a Smurfs movie complaining about “Man, they sure do say ‘Smurf’ a lot.”
Was that the one loosely based on Beowulf? I saw it in the theater and didn’t have a problem with it.
Aha!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior
“based on Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead,[5] which is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.”
Crichton, man. His influence was just astounding. Obligatory “fuck cancer”.
“Ninjas? More like ‘Non-Jas’. Shame what passes for a Ninja these days…”
And with that, John Goodman became my favorite, ever. :)
Judge Dredd was quite good even though Stallone took the helmet off a bunch. IIRC he was willing to do the whole thing in helmet, but I bet the money guys needed to see his face.
Never thought I’d see the Angel Family on film, that was wild!
Bonus: The actor playing psychotic cannibal Pa Angel would go on to be the kindly farmer Herschel on Walking Dead.
Definitely not a 16%'er.
I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

A lot of people were confused about Dorian Gray, but adding him was pretty inspired.
Le Creuset makes a cleaner for their enameled cast iron, but I don’t think it will do anything for a ruined finish. :(

“enhancing the shine of the enamel.” 🤔
Not according to Putin, who has stated multiple times that Ukraine isn’t really a country and Russia owns it.
“Ukraine is not even a state! What is Ukraine? A part of its territory is [in] Eastern Europe, but a[nother] part, a considerable one, was a gift from us!” In his March 18, 2014 speech marking the annexation of Crimea, Putin declared that Russians and Ukrainians “are one people. Kiev is the mother of Russian cities. Ancient Rus’ is our common source and we cannot live without each other.” Since then, Putin has repeated similar claims on many occasions. As recently as February 2020, he once again stated in an interview that Ukrainians and Russians “are one and the same people”, and he insinuated that Ukrainian national identity had emerged as a product of foreign interference."

I knew a parrot once who would bite the shit out of you and then LAUGH!
I could see allowing it for animals that had to be put down for other reasons, like that poor lost soul who ended up in Iceland.

You might also try googling local powder coat seevices, but it may end up being more expensive than just replacing it.
The powder itself looks cheap enough though:

The problem is finding someone with the skill and tools to apply it and bake it. :(
