"You can't let King Kong escape!"

Right... that's a different movie!

Godzilla started out by torching a refinery and he's a walking flamethrower. Why does the Japanese army think he can be pushed around by burning gasoline?

I wish Sven could get hold of what I think is Honda's strangest Kaiju (even stranger than "Godzilla vs. Hedora"): "Dogora," about a giant space jellyfish that eats coal and diamonds. It's more like a jewel heist caper movie that happens to include monsters than a regular kaiju.

Sven's email says it's because of "contractual obligations," which probably means Toho is restricting where MeTV is allowed to show the movie. Over-the-air and cable on the North American continent, OK; streaming and Hawaii, nope.

I fully expect them to roll over and play dead when Trump comes for their guns... which, if he achieves his goal of becoming a dictator, he will. He won't need their support anymore, and can't risk their opposition.

Thanks to the Squad for making this... thing... watchable and even entertaining!

One last trivia question: what do "Flight 7500" and "WKRP in Cincinnati" have in common (aside from the fact that they are both from CBS)?

Answer: both involve the attempt to make turkeys fly!

And yes, I know, this is probably the least of the complaints that could be made about this movie.

How does a plane that took off with more than enough fuel to make it across the Pacific to Tokyo run out and crash into the ocean? Just askin'

So far this movie is less frightening than "Very Brady Christmas."

Remember: In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will deploy. Those of you who paid for the optional "oxygen service" will find oxygen is flowing. Those of you who did not... tough luck.

They are already in Hades--they are in coach for ten hours!

No need to come up with a new name for it; it's good old state capitalism, where the government owns the businesses and runs them for its own profit. It's what Russia had for 75 years of so-called "communism" (and still has today).

Her X avatar makes it look like she's staring at an eclipse without glasses. Well, if it was good enough for her idol Trump, it's good enough for her...

Not sure I buy it. What were the rallies, carefully loaded with people who worshiped the Orange Baal, but another layer of bubble wrap to isolate him from reality? I think his body (and more, his mind) just aren't up to it anymore.

I figured it out: "Brady Christmas" is a tribute to "Psycho"! Just like Hitchcock, Sherwood Schwartz sets up a fake plot and then kills it. All he needed was the screeching violins as O. Henry's story dies 20 minutes into the flick! Well, maybe they could have set it in the shower (hubba-hubba)...

5/8 of the way through the "Bratty Christmas" movie and we finally get the whole family together. Let the awkwardness, deception, conflict and ultimate kiss-and-make-up begin! #svengoolie

Sven asked for a "horror movie" and IMP misheard it as "horrible movie." #svengoolie

OK... so "Bratty Christmas" isn't going to be a rehash of "Gift of the Magi"... 26 minutes in and no story yet... #svengoolie

Having seen the 1964 "Devil Doll" a couple times, and having captured the 1936 version in my DVR but never watched it... I'll catch up with y'all in time for a truly horrible (if not horror) movie, "Very Brady Christmas." See ya then! #svengoolie

The R's are not afraid of Trump; they adore him as their Orange Messiah. The party has been working to establish permanent minority rule since the days of Reagan, and they made an eyes-wide-open deal with the devil when they accepted Trump. They are silent by choice.

I thought Peter Cushing would be the lead story on tonight's noose, but in this flick he's Curly's second choice after being burned at the stake: "a hot stake beats a cold chop any day!"

I prefer my ICE crushed.

It is more likely the Orange Baal's action will cause the accreditation agency to lose its credibility.

I just figured it's his getaway plane, for when the mobs armed with pitchforks and torches show up at Mar-a-Lardo.

NPR reported that another "sign of gang membership" the folks at ICE use is car window stickers. Unfortunately they did not include a picture of the stickers ICE considers "evidence." Shame, because wouldn't it be a hoot if they started ppopping up on Teslas?

It's also what Nicolae Ceaușescu tried. How'd it work for him?

That's insulting to Chihuahuas. We've got a mouse.

Oh. Maureen Dowd. The same Maureen Dowd who spent half of 2024 tearing down Joe Biden and sanewashing Donald Trump. The Maureen Dowd who finally convinced me to cancel my NYT subscription.

It's a bit late to repent now.

In a number of recent photos, Trump has had trouble keeping his right eye open. Evidence of a stroke?

Is this the same SpaceX whose "Starship" rocket has been launched seven times so far and still hasn't had a fully successful flight? And which has blown up, broken up or otherwise been destroyed in four of them?

I think I'll drive instead. Just not in a Tesla.
