Yes PLEASE a Flintstones movies watch. Viva Rock Vegas is a masterpiece - truly the best costuming and set design around.

2024-05-27 02:57:04 +0000 UTCwe need a commentary of the Fargo episode from The Simpsons s33, it’s genuinely the best episode they’ve had since 1998

2024-01-11 21:30:40 +0000 UTCClassical Baby was part of our bedtime routine for two whole years. My youngest just rediscovered it and has been very focused on the cow part. My son loved the French hot chocolate song. I have some thoughts on the poetry episode.

2023-05-10 17:35:52 +0000 UTCEven back then, I’m sure there were talks of more sequels if Beneath was a success. Blowing up the planet was probably the best thing they could do to get out of the “human lands on planet” repetition. As much as I would have loved it, I don’t think they would have been brave enough to do an apes-only movie.

2023-05-10 15:26:38 +0000 UTCI’m 52, so I actually was a Planet of the Apes superfan from ages of 3-6. The movies were repeated on TV a lot, and I loved the short-lived TV series. I even had POTA collectible cards and action figures. Then 6-year-old me saw Star Wars in 1977 and that was all she wrote.

2023-05-09 20:14:49 +0000 UTCGreat episode, and series so far. Would suggest that John Wick has followed the Planet of the Apes series model the best.

2023-05-04 22:54:09 +0000 UTCI liked the original ending with Taylor calling all the apes "woke Marxist"before dying.

2023-05-03 11:33:04 +0000 UTCClassic baby was our only show for almost a year. My son is totally obsessed with classical baby. Especially the first music episode. The cow song is also #1 in our house. I will never recover from the dance episode where the rectangles attempt to do Jerome Robbins choreography!

2023-05-03 08:04:54 +0000 UTCIn total agreement with Ben wondering how people have time to watch American Dad. There are literally 500, maybe 1000 things I would rather watch before getting to American Dad. That’s setting aside that there are activities I would do before getting that desperate.

2023-05-02 19:20:59 +0000 UTCCan you address where you've read that more sequels were in the works before Beneath was a financial success? I've long been obsessed with BENEATH and from what I've read/watched it was a cash grab gambit and only when it worked did they go back to the drawing board for more apes. Interestingly, the Saint Joseph's Cathedral set is an altered set from one of the reasons the studio was broke, HELLO,DOLLY! Heston takes credit for the idea to blow up the Earth (that, in addition to his contract negotiated death scene, were meant to stop more sequels).

2023-05-02 17:03:49 +0000 UTCWhen I was a kid I had the comic for this that came with a 45 RPM record to play as you read along. It was a pretty bleak experience for a seven year old, but that didn't stop me from reading it dozens of times.

2023-05-02 05:56:03 +0000 UTCClassical Baby was my daughter's fave for a good 6 months. Then we discovered Bluey.

2023-05-02 02:29:32 +0000 UTCMy son was really into Classical Baby, and as a parent, I appreciated that the music was actual recordings, not synthesized baby Einstein crap.

2023-05-01 23:12:06 +0000 UTCIf there was any doubt David spent years in London breaking out Going Underground (The Jam) would clear it up. The Setting Sons album in ‘79 was so good Going Underground wasn’t even on it, released as a B-Side in ‘80 and went to Number One. The Modfather, still making excellent music and collaborating with his daughter, Leah Weller.

2023-05-01 14:41:27 +0000 UTCMy wife and I revisited Men in Tights recently, and I gotta disagree with them on this one. We had to bail halfway through, the whole thing just felt sluggish and painfully unfunny.

2023-05-01 13:54:25 +0000 UTCI feel like they don’t remember how much of Men in Tights is directly addressing Prince of Thieves.
