No can do! My mom always told me to say no to strangers and say no to glass!

My favourite has to be the Universal Mummy films of the 1940s, where the sequels are set between 1970 and 1995 and yet the world still looks very much like 1942-44 in terms of fashion, visuals and technology...

It's OK, the book isn't mad at you, just seriously disappointed...

I think Coraline is my favourite stop motion film but this has to be top 3, up there with Fantastic Mr Fox. Wallace and Gromit has remarkable consistency in terms of quality, and not just in the entertainment value...

It's always amusing to watch reruns of Play Your Cards Right or Price Is Right and see dozens of old ladies in the audience who are very much there to see him and not the gameshow in question 🤣

Since a lot of airlines offer you a choice of a semi-large bundle of TV shows and movies, a streaming service if you will, will a Disney airline just offer you free access to D+? 5 hour flight across the world? Pop on Timon and Pumbaa, Kim Possible and Toy Story 3! Sounds like a fun time!

Fortunately, the film doesn't overstay its welcome, it's only 70 minutes long, plus the colour photography looks semi-decent, at least in the outdoor scenes, so if you can tolerate people talking about rarely seen Martians creating synthetic humans to survive extinction, you can handle this. 6/10!

The dog has A LOT of track and the living room must be massive to take all of it...

You'd rather go for the minor gems no one talks about? Makes sense. You have to actually think about what actually works rather than rehashing what has been said a million times before...

Like I said, everything is just perfect. I also love that it's Mel Blanc's favourite performance, not just for Looney Tunes but maybe his entire career. He earned that Academy Award Eddie Selzer willed to him after his death 🤣

It's also impressive how well it portrays Sylvester going cold turkey. EVERYTHING tempts him with his "addiction" and it prevents him from sleeping before he eventually just snaps...

Plus when you think about it, doing a cartoon about addiction recovery was a hell of a move, especially for a series of mostly light and chill cartoons. It's like when Chuck Jones did Nelly's Folly in a way...

I didn't really appreciate that short until I marathoned it in 2023. Everything from the art style to Mel Blanc's performance is pure gold...

I'll allow them, you Chuck Jones loyalist 🤣
Honestly, dude? I got top 4, maybe top 5. Figuring out anything beyond that is a complete chore, even after a giant marathon of everything!!!

Well at least you were able to get into it. I saw it twice and... yeah, not so much.

It doesn't help when these morons see an article about Sony discontinuing discs and just assume the worst rather than actually read the articles...

Honestly, I've seen worse, especially with lower budgets, but unlike Thing From Another World, I didn't find the exposition-spewing humans irritating, Edmund Gwynn especially. I forgot how relaxing his voice is...

I do think cutting down on his dialogue after season 1 was a mistake. It doesn't affect the plots much, but at the same time, I watched 14 episodes today and I don't think I heard him say anything new with the very few lines he did say were all recycled from previous episodes...

I dunno, you'd probably have my wife's attention with shit like Lake Placid vs Anaconda...

Simon and Nick are just comedic geniuses. They're able to bounce off each other, Abbott and Costello style. Plus, Simon knows the pair of them well enough to know what'll work in a script for their characters. They know what kind of dialogue they can each pull off and make hilarious...

Yeah, that's fair. I suppose it depends what you're in the mood for. Do you want bloody horror, buddy cop action or pure sci-fi?

It's their obsession with the genre that turns me off, as if no other genre in the film industry matters. Look at The Wild Robot. You even remotely criticize that film or any other film they rave about, for the slightest of reasons, they will pounce on you like a pack of rabid dogs...

Also the sheer shock of Simon's character discovering one of his friends is a teetotaler after 30 years. He's just so oblivious to the fact that maybe guzzling alcohol isn't all it's cracked up to be 🤣

I think the funniest 180 in this film is Nick Frost playing the serious role after his characters in Shaun and Fuzz. It's a great choice....
I think Fuzz is my favourite of the three. It's the easiest to go back to, but like I said, you can't go wrong with any of them.

Was that the biggest size they had? Maybe return it for a bigger one?

I FUCKING HATE THIS TOWN!!!!!!!
I think this is my least favourite of the three but that's down to just how good Shaun and Hot Fuzz are. The entire trilogy is still a lot of fun. You can't really go wrong with Simon and Nick...

I was the exact same before I marathoned the entire series in preparation for Endgame. As much I enjoy the MCU, I understand why some would be burned out. There's a lot of homework you need to do just to keep up. Sometimes one movie requires you to watch five or six others just to be in the loop...

It's the fact that they use the word "Peak" to describe EVERYTHING that is even remotely good that makes them truly insufferable, not just on Twitter but on here too. Like, it's good they enjoy the products like I do, but sweet Jesus, read a thesaurus at some point...

I miss the days of Saturday morning cartoons. We despised the idea of getting up early for school, but some free Disney or Hanna Barbera cartoons at 7am on a Saturday? SIGN US UP!!!

I gotta rewatch Forbidden Planet at some point, I gotta do Invasion of the Body Snatchers, completely forgot that existed until I did Them, I might do the American version of Godzilla, hell I might do Plan 9 From Outer Space if I'm in the mood for crap.
Am I missing any essentials for 50s Sci-Fi?
