48·5 days agoI’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.
In a world that makes sense:
- small, mostly metal vape chassis
- rechargeable, replaceable battery
- built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
- vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve
In a world where Profit is God (the real world):
- disposable chassis
- disposable battery
- if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
- probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call
1·7 days agoCriminally overlooked and underrated.
171·8 days agoYes, but Republicans do what they want with no consequences, so check and mate.
First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.
It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.
1·8 days agoFun fact: Zero Hour is so unintentionally funny they lifted a lot of it verbatim and Airplane! is technically a remake. They had to buy the rights.
Interesting suggestions. They’re not what I typically consider in this particular style of parody movies because they’re a lot less slapstick and absurd but instead are very targeted mockeries of a single concept or style. Worth watching for sure, but I know they wouldn’t scratch the same itch for me.
Couldn’t remember it well enough but I’d let it slide on the list based on what I do recall.
Omitted because I haven’t seen it, not explicitly as a snub.
I actually haven’t seen it. Didn’t care much for the Wayans brothers’ humor, so I sat that out until Zucker took over.
I love this energy.
112·9 days agoBlatant, direct hypocrisy and whitewashing of his own history isn’t a legitimate reason to hate someone who’s running a massive disinformation campaign to get a fascist elected? Your standards are weird.
Still a thing? Not really. But as mentioned, there was definitely a lot worth seeing after Airplane!
Great:
- Police Squad! (TV)
- Naked Gun x3
- Hot Shots! x2
- Spaceballs!
- Robin Hood: Men in Tights
- Young Frankenstein
- Top Secret!
- Scary Movie 3/4
- Airplane!
- Kentucky Fried Movie
Worth watching:
- Jane Austen’s Mafia!
- Dracula: Dead and Loving It
- Angie Tribeca (TV)
- High School High
- Not Another Teen Movie
- Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood
- Scary Movie 1
- Wrongfully Accused
- Repossessed
- Spy Hard (edit)
Garbage Tier:
- Anything ending with “Movie” that hasn’t been listed yet
- Anything with Leslie Nielsen that hasn’t been listed yet
I loved 3, liked 4, and was really disappointed by 1. Skipped 2 and anything after 4.
Turns out, after 2, the Wayans brothers stepped away and David Zucker directed with Pat Proft co-writing, which gave it a lot of DNA from the glory days of Naked Gun and Hot Shots!
Same thing happens with social security numbers!

7·11 days agoInstead of watching whatever the hell this ends up being, just read this ancient and hilarious screenshot Let’s Play. I guarantee it’s more entertaining, especially if you remember early 2000’s internet, before it turned into <gestures at everything>.

Check it out, it just shows up as asterisks when I type it.
1·12 days agoIt’s like Max Payne 1, only better in every conceivable way. It’s the perfect sequel.
Edit: I envy you getting to experience it for the first time!
This is the guy who wrote X-Men: The Last Stand, where Jean Grey becomes Dark Phoenix, beloved characters die, and she must be defeated in a bittersweet moment of clarity and sacrifice. It performed very poorly and the franchise went into hibernation as a result.
