I've been reading some '70s Avengers lately and Fury is often referencing SHIELD's "technos." Funny term!

So MacReady and Childs playing chess at the end could be another level of ambiguity (he played a fake opponent at the beginning, another one at the end brings things full circle) OR it could mean MacReady has finally found the worthy human opponent he's been looking for.

Obviously this was left out of the movie but I think it still indicates a thematic significance with MacReady playing against the computer chess at the beginning. MacReady's very human anger means he'll destroy the game (blow up the base) before admitting a loss to something not even human.

Something I've always found interesting is what I remember from Alan Dean Foster's novelization and what I just found at the end of Carpenter's script. MacReady and Childs find a chess board and start to play as the story ends.

Young Guns does something similar with Billy shooting a guy while he's peeing!

RAISING ARIZONA and EVIL DEAD II both came out on March 13, 1987. I'd like to think the Coens and Raimi were trying to one-up each other with the shaky-cam chase scenes.

Always thought there could be an easy hook of the Death Star being what destroyed Krypton...

Wald was actually interviewed for a Boston Globe article about SINNERS. He points out some historical innaccuracies while acknowledging the necessity of fudging some details for the sake of fantasy. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/09/a...

I've wondered for a decade if this storyline was something Bendis had already long been planning (considering it picks up the dimensional rift from SPIDER-MEN and CATACLYSM) as a big meeting between the "real" 616 and Ultimate versions, but was forced to rejigger it due to SECRET WARS.

It's fun that it seems to be referencing the crocodile that swallowed the clock in PETER PAN, but aside from that and the island setting I'm not sure if the reference has a point.

I often wish the Star Wars Infinities (basically What If...? for the original trilogy) would be brought back for the prequels, sequels, etc.

It's a great moment because Freddy kind of mumbles it to himself. Even without an audience he just has to quip.

You got a lot of Wolverine eating habits in WOLVERINE #78 (written by Larry Hama, illustrated by Adam Kubert). Him gnawing on wolf meat for days in the wilderness, then eating a pile of cheeseburgers at a diner.

I love the parenting class episode, when the teacher (necktie undone) explains, "If you leave milk out, it can go sour. Put it in the refrigerator or failing that, a cool wet sack."

Tom King wrote and Peter Gross illustrated Animal Pound, an amazing graphic novel that riffs on Animal Farm. Not remotely subtle about its allegory for the post-truth Trump era www.boom-studios.com/series/anima...

Grace inviting the vampires in feels like it should be the first skirmish. Deaths on both sides, then some licking wounds and tension building before the last desperate battle. But that would probably add another 20 minutes to the movie and it already runs long...

I've always liked the explanation that it's only "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" for the teller of the story. It could very well take place in our future.

I think Strong Guy of X-Factor might. I can't seem to find anywhere if he cuts his hair to have the one little whisp or if that's all that's left.

Angel Heart (1987), with Mickey Rourke as a private detective in 1955 hired by Robert De Niro — playing a character named Louis Cyphre (har har) — to find a missing person in New Orleans has a very bluesy, sweaty southern soundtrack m.imdb.com/title/tt0092...

Yes, all Michael knows about dating is what he witnessed between his sister Judith and her boyfriend: teasing with a mask, then they go upstairs and do..."something." Michael is just reenacting what he thinks couples do but with, you know, a knife.

Ellie pointing out problems with the plants is really key to the movie. Jurassic Park is designed to look cool without consideration for how certain plants can poison and kill the dinos.

Great episode as usual! Love the comparisons to Jennifer's Body. What do you think about Halloween Ends taking inspiration from Christine? Corey Cunningham, Arnie Cunningham, Michael's dark influence on Corey like Christine's on Arnie, etc.

What's even funnier is the prequels had fixes of the fixes. The novels (especially the Karen Traviss clonetrooper books), John Ostrander Comics (Quinlan Vos!), and Tartakovsky Clone Wars released 1999–2005 were almost all nullified canon-wise by the Filoni Clone Wars.

Me recommending an X-Men film: You have to get past the iffy CGI and dodgy stuntwork to the parts when old men play chess.

I've always loved Leia's "Would it help if I got out and pushed?" line in EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. It doesn't really make sense in-universe (how long would it have been since any planet had internal combustion engines that could be jumpstarted with a push?) but it's very relatable for the audience.

This is actually from A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987). Sorry to well, actually! Love your page and appreciate all the hard work.

In Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005), the eighth installment in the series, the cast (including young Henry Cavill) is obsessed with a video game based on the Hellraiser movies.
