Tried watching it—to catch up on my Unknown Billy Wilder after tracking down “Buddy Buddy”—and yeah:
It’s pretty much a Sunset Boulevard reunion, for William Holden and another faded star played by another real-life faded star.

I remember Quentin commenting on Australian B-movies on a documentary, so it’s safe to assume he actually HAS seen other Mad Max movies in his life before proclaiming Fury Road one of Mankind’s Greatest Achievements In The History Of Forever Stuff…

It’s because they overbuilt themselves during a 90’s boom, went corporate, and tried to embellish themselves with technical finery.
And then the movies disappeared.
What we need now are single downtown theaters back, with low overhead, personal management, and quick turnaround for flops.

If he doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Up to now, we genuinely thought he’d spend the rest of his career deep-sea diving to look at the Titanic ruins.
But then Avatar came along
And then Avatar 2. Where they swim.

They do, however, happen to be the FUNNIEST:
HB bought Warren Foster and Michael Maltese out from under Looney’s Chuck Jones, and they brought their own hip silliness with them—Adding even snarky fourth-wall meta gags for Quick-Draw.
And Daws Butler’s Bert Lahr imitation as Snagglepuss is virtuoso.

I remember coming home from the last day of school before Christmas vacation, and seeing the local station’s afternoon movie, stuck for old vintage family films, showing the 1940 Shirley Temple “The Blue Bird”.
Thus becoming sentimental tradition, AND a Christmas-themed story. ☺️

The scene where Chevy sits blocked at his novel, hears a bird happily and loudly chirping at his window, and splashes his cup of coffee at it, has become my favorite writing-community meme.

Funny Farm is probably one of the last funny Chevy Chase films (until Fletch Lives came along). 👍
It needs all those obsessed Caddyshack-fan kids to rediscover it.

Darn, all those years of making a baked casserole out of leftover turkey, stuffing, broccoli and that one extra can of Cream of Mushroom soup, and I never even thought of pizza! 🍕 ☹️

Polar Express was the first digital 3-D movie to play regular theaters in the 00’s-10’s, and made a fortune. (At the 3-D screenings. 2-D…not so much. 😅)
Disney immediately rushed “Chicken Little” into 3-D conversion, which had similarly divided box office.
But it wasn’t CHRISTMAS, darnit!

Disney bought Robert Zemeckis’ weird CGI studio, so he could make them another Polar Express on demand.
And got the psychotic Jim Carrey “A Christmas Carol” instead. 😱
