I didn't watch the news at that age, and we had no interest in that particular movie. In fact, my parents have never really been into reading the news, and perhaps that's a good thing.
Amen, sista!
I didn't say anything about the title.
You prove my point exactly.
Blocked, troll.
I think also, because of the transference procedure, Frederick is now set off by the lullaby like the monster was.
Democraps, of course, and yet they claim Republicans are the racist ones. They keep forgetting that the Republican Party was the one that insisted on adding the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution while they fought tooth and nail to keep their slaves.
I think, since this was a dark comedy, they wanted a villain that was on-par with someone like the Joker: funny, difficult to take seriously, but very dangerous all the same. I think Samuel himself came up with the caricatures and the movie-makers loved it. I think they made him annoying on purpose, to distract the audience and not take him seriously until he really did put the world in danger.
Not to mention they were showing all the men in pseudo-Victorian suits, but the women were all wearing clothes a lot like what you'd see today (that ridiculous, retro-50s couture the rich are wearing right now). They didn't even have corsets on (save for when the bearded lady was doing that dance number, and I wish she hadn't).
I mean, wasn't this supposed to take place in the 1800s? I don't remember ANYBODY dressing that way in the 1800s, do you?
I believe his very first real appearance on the show was when he and Laura were both 12 and she needed a date to a school dance. Carl was unaware that she'd already gotten a date, so he decided to ask the next-door neighbor's kid, Steve Urkel to go out with her. He apparently was also unaware that Steve had been harboring a gigantic crush on Laura since they were in kindergarten, but had hidden it until then.
You can remember the episode by these little features:
- Steve was a short, shrimpy little guy with big glasses in a tux (tailored to his nerdy style)
- he was carrying flowers he'd stolen from the neighbor's garden, complete with the dripping roots still attached
- and when he first see's Laura, he yells very loudly "Wow! Are you wearing a bra?!"
- Laura had a dress made by Aunt Rachel that was black with turquoise ruffles, but when Harriet sees a loose thread, she tries ripping it out and ruins the sleeve, forcing Laura to put on a different dress for the dance
(this annoying "loose thread" gag showed up again 5 or 6 seasons later with a different dress)
I think the Jump the Shark moment happened sometime when the kids were in college, and the parents became less relevant for them. In fact, the really wacky stuff started happening in the very last two seasons, when the show's ratings started to really go downhill. A pity. Some of the most interesting adventures happened during that time.
Critics are not part of the real audience. They are drones who work for Hollywood and only say what their employers tell them to. Either that, or they judge tv shows/movies based on the same groupthink and values as the people in Hollywood do. In essence, they are part of a tiny section of the audience that the public isn't privy to.
Critics hate good tv shows and movies. They like all the terrible stuff and either ignore or dump on things the public loves. I usually don't put much stock in what they have to say anymore.
Easy. The critics were either fags that hated seeing a successful, heternormative family; or they came from broken homes and despised the sight of a happy, large family. Either that or the little club that runs the Emmy's hated the people in charge of making the show. That's why Lucas hasn't won an Oscar since "A New Hope" in '77. The Academy hates him, sci-fi, and good movies in general.
I'm still happy we don't have the Clinton Hag for president, and having fun watching the political theater. Nothing's funnier than watching a bunch of arrogant, lying Democraps being proven wrong by the President, and then gnashing their teeth and pulling their hair because they can't stop him. It's been awesome to watch.
Anybody want some popcorn?
Amen to that. That's why I only watch the old 70s SNL (despite not being a 70s person). At least there the jokes aren't so bad, the material was original, and they did more than just make fun of whoever was in the White House at the time.
I can't think of any reason other than the fairy-tale they keep peddling about how life was better when they were in charge.
Remember that when the UK jails you for talking trash about their favorite Middle-Eastern or homosexual pets.
I wouldn't believe anything critics have to say about any film. Throw enough money at them, and they'll say ANY film is the greatest film of the year, or that it's the #1 movie in America at that moment.
Case in point: all the "good" reviews that horrible "Ghostbusters" reboot got.
I don't know why, but I have the ability to remember detailed things from way back. It's not quite the same as photographic memory, because it's mostly images, events, and a little bit if conversation. It's also not perfect, but it's clearer than a lot of people I know remember. I think I got it from mom, because she remembers conversations [instead of images] very clearly, even years ago.
