- Comment on Eddie Murphy Is Ready to Look Back 2 days ago:
He’s going to be playing Robert Downey Jr in a “making of” retrospective of Tropical Thunder. It takes hours of makeup to make him look like the dude acting as the dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude.
- Comment on can we talk about how derivative the new aquaman was? 1 week ago:
It was so BAD. How many times did he say “Get your hands off my (fill in the blank)!” This will be a steelbook I buy to complete the DC collection that never comes out of its original shrink wrap.
- Comment on a 320 year old elf marries an 80 year old human: Is the elf robbing the cradle, or the grave? 1 month ago:
Neither. There is an age difference, sure, but an 80 year old woman is a well-lived human adult who can make her own choices. If it were an 80 year old female elf, then possible. Not sure what the age of consent is in elvish customs, or the age of emotional maturity. As for robbing the grave, no, she’s not dead. Robbing the cradle implies young life inside the cradle and there is nothing living in a grave. Now, if the elf provided the woman with prolonged life through elvish ways, then technically, he’s robbing the grave.

The other brother is cool, though.
- Comment on What’s one miscast role that irks you in an otherwise perfect film? 2 months ago:
Dustin Hoffman in Perfume. Just, no.
- Comment on Paramount's slate of upcoming films includes Star Trek, Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Smurfs, Bee Gees & more 2 months ago:
If it’s at all Seth MacFarlane-y or Naked Gun-y, there will be a Nordberg/OJ reference. Would appreciate a “Family Guy breaks the fourth wall when talking about Laura Bush killing someone” type of thing.

- Comment on Film preservationist Robert Harris defends controversial James Cameron 4K restorations of Aliens, The Abyss and True Lies 2 months ago:
Like it or not, it does change the original image, but not necessarily the intended image. I don’t think it’s in the same league as film colorization or adding a musical number to Jabba’s palace, but it may be necessary to smooth what was intended. If you’ve ever seen the videos of painting restorations, I’m inclined to think it’s something like that. Removing that aged, discolored layer to get to what’s beneath, or, as intended. I haven’t seen the new Aliens or The Abyss yet, so I can’t give an opinion on those. I watched The Last Action Hero and it seemed there were some “ironed out” scenes, but not jarring the way bad blue screening could be, like in The Last Crusade. That’s the kind of stuff I’d like to see get fixed. In fact, it’s unfortunate that oldies like Toy Story can’t be given an updated treatment. New textures, shading, etc. Rewatching old Pixar is not enjoyable. I’d like to see Pixar remasters. You’d think that would be easy to do since its mostly ones and zeroes.

- Comment on What is the best way to clean burnt-on splatters from a chrome oven without damaging the chrome? 6 months ago:
I used to use 000 steel wool on chrome motorcycle pipes and they never scratched, so that’s safe. For your stove, I’d try some boiling water to soften the mess first. Then, go ahead and clean in your regular fashion.

I’m using Avelon and not finding that option. Can you tell me more? Thanks!
