Is this one of the episodes Dean Cundey lensed?
My high school history teacher on Booth: "He was a very famous actor. It would be like if Tom Hanks shot [George W.] Bush."
The Booths were a bit like the Barrymores.
It's been on a while now, actually. It's usually on late nights in my area in one of those graveyard timeslots they reserve for syndication, local news and infomercials.
I agree. Very disappointing. The previous Halloween specials were better (Sharknado'Connor). Even if you factor in covid, there's no excuse for dropping the ball like this. It's a decent Conners episode, but a disappointing so-called Halloween special.
Give me a fucking break! :D What's next? Michael Myers is offensive to albinos?
Helen Keller costumes are one thing (Why???), but being a (fictional!) slicing-and-dicing dream demon is not a disability.
Dude, Twilight wasn't [i]that[/i] bad, but the books are better.
"cannot really ever be done again"
Tell that to George Lucas. :D The last time the unaltered Star Wars trilogy was (officially) released was in 2006, albeit as special features on the individual DVDs. And even then, they were just LaserDisc rips.
Six feet under, with the rest of them. Honestly, I don't know how I missed him. Maybe I didn't want to think of John Wayne. :D
Damn. I loved him on Letterman. Had no idea he was older than Dave.
RIP.
I've never really actively watched Friends. It's just always been on. And it was on the air for so long that it's probably too far away from me. I have the DVDs from my late grandmother that I could pop in and watch anytime (my household isn't noisy/crazy/disruptive) if I cared to.
Like Seinfeld and several other 90s sitcoms, I would have been too young to appreciate the show while it was on the air. I mostly only watched Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite and kids shows. But with my upbringing and my family's "taste," I would have had to discover these kinds of shows on my own. I had never even heard of Seinfeld until it went into syndication on my local Fox station. It wasn't until the later 90s that I started watching more adult-oriented shows such as 3rd Rock from the Sun and Frasier reruns. My family is largely Christian/Republican (to whatever degree), so their tastes would never have gravitated toward Seinfeld. I don't know if Grandma watched Friends during its original run or only after. Most of the sitcoms she liked were on CBS (Raymond, King of Queens, Mike & Molly, Mom type multicams).
I like Seinfeld, but I just never really cared to actually check out Friends. And speak of the devil, it just came on my local station. Ross's wedding.
I'm a liberal Millennial.
Of the top of my head:
Hitler
Stalin
Mussolini
Mao
Napoleon
Nero
King George III
Lenin
Fidel Castro
Ivan the Terrible
Vlad the Impaler
Hernan Cortes
I had very good social studies teachers.
T2, followed by Kindergarten Cop. T2, especially, left a huge impression on me, before I was even aware that there was a T1. I watched it several times on VHS and I like to watch it when it's on TV.
Pulp Fiction is a must. In fact, they could do Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Ed Wood, and Quiz Show.
They could do an entire episode just about 1999. Like 1939, it was a landmark year for cinema:
The Matrix
Office Space
Fight Club
Eyes Wide Shut
American Beauty
The Sixth Sense
Being John Malkovich
The Green Mile
Boys Don't Cry
Girl, Interrupted

Toy Story 1 & 2 definitely. The big Disney Renaissance films.
Scream and the glossy 90s teen slashers.
[b]Edit:[/b] I somehow got this confused with CNN's The Movies. I still like the 1999 idea. They should definitely throw in some blockbusters and tentpoles.
Batman
Batman Returns
Superman
Spider-Man
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and/or the entire Dark Knight Trilogy
MCU
Halloween
Friday the 13th
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Thing
Escape From New York
The Warriors
Blade Runner
Tron (They could especially talk about the then-groundbreaking special effects)
The Wrath of Khan
Star Wars original trilogy
Welcome to my ignore list.
Meat Loaf himself is vegan, so who knows?
La Llorona was one of the "better" secondary Conjuring films. Just needed more trimming in the editing room.
Could've been worse. At least it wasn't John Leonetti, who has a history of directed disappointing follow-ups to films he photographed (Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Annabelle).
I thought 3 was quite good in spite of the post-Wan dropoff and no Hayes Brothers. I thought the cold open was one of the best.
You're still around? You were that Halloween 9 guy on IMDb. Elton John's Halloween score was the best since Carpenter. ;) Tell Damien Cain and Kurt Loader (sic) I said hi. And Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain. ;)
As far as who should actually play Johnny Cage, getting the real JCVD could be cool, but probably won't happen. Or Jason David Frank. They'd probably opt for somebody reasonably big.

Various game shows: Jeopardy!; Wheel of Fortune; To Tell the Truth; Family Feud; these aren't really super important, but they're fun to play at home.
There's probably more, but this is off the top of my head. So it's really no wonder I have such long gaps in between episodes of shows. In fact, I had such a long gap in Game of Thrones that I'm thinking about starting over from the beginning.
Everything, but especially...
The opening scene
Sub Zero vs Scorpion
Goro
Sonya
Kano
Liu Kang
Raiden
Shang Tsung
Jax had some badass moments
Cole
The cinematography and aspect ratio
The martial arts
The writing
CGI
The faithfulness to the original
The new remix of the classic theme
Worst CGI ever? Have you seen Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Joss Whedon's Justice League, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, the first Jumanji, or Rapsittie Street Kids: Believe in Santa?
The CGI in GvK is as boss and the titular monsters themselves. :)
