I remember going to Dragon Con the year after this movie and there were SO many dudes dressed up as Nurse Joker, and I have to assume a fair number of them were just holding out for the opportunity and excuse to dress up as the nurse they had always wanted to.

I saw both of these products in the same grocery store on the same day.

Oregon Trail Generation, here.

Me in high school / college: "There are people with conservative views and there are people with liberal views, and while I see myself as a Democrat, I don't think we have all the answers, and surely the path into the future is to find people of all political persuasions and find positive compromise amongst them all to move forward."

Me now: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles..."

If the US were Balkanized, there would be a never-ending series of (potentially nuclear) wars to control the continent, plus the wars that would break out in places across the globe that only don't have wars because the US has a vested interest in there not being a war in a given location, plus the inevitable takeover of any given location that China has had its eye on.

So... better for the world in the sense that global mayhem even more than we currently experience is better for whom, exactly?

1992 - Batman Returns

1993 - The Nightmare Before Christmas

1994 - Ed Wood

1996 - Mars Attacks! (starting to get a little kooky, even by Burton standards, but I'll stand by this one)

2003 - Big Fish (his last good movie)

When Star Trek: The Next Generation was announced, everybody was pissed. "You can't have Star Trek without Captain Kirk!" "The first officer is a soap opera supporting actor!" "The captain is bald??!"

And then, lo and behold, it was the best Star Trek, almost entirely absent of rehashing, paying slavish tribute to, or shamelessly trading on nostalgia for The Original Series.

So, have someone go to the used spaceship dealer, buy a rusty old Firefly class light freighter, and go off on their own adventures. Nothing wrong with new crew, same universe.

"Ride the hooved beast and make its will your own" 100% speed run challenge is what Chalcolithic teenagers do instead of knapping flint, like they ought to!

I'm so glad that Obvious Plant is expanding into the food market.

The same Steve Bannon who was arrested by Post Office investigators for defrauding people into giving him money to build a wall with Mexico and who was later pardoned by Donald Trump? That Steve Bannon?
