The C-Wub must die.

Wow. They ran out of programming for fall quarter! That's amazing. This
sure seems like fluffy summer filler.

I didn't recognize Tom Welling, and Brendan Fraser has regained all the
weight the personal trainer he pissed off kept off his body, and then
some.

Will this be a melodramatic exploration of cliched romantic interactions
among black people with well-paying and important jobs, using scripted
dialogue that Tyler Perry had already used in movies?

The whole premise of the first one was idiotic. None of the other movies
beyond the first one ever happened. And yet somehow “the shape“ (and why do
the hell do they call it that?) Has attained all the mythic status he would
have only if all the other movies had happened. And now he’s just an old
man who killed a few people one night and has spent the last 40 years in
prison. Also them not showing the audience his face when he’s just standing
outside in broad daylight and everybody but the audience can see his face
is just stupid. They have all this set up exposition given by a guy who
barely speaks English and is almost completely unintelligible. There are
scenes that don’t even make sense. How did the hermaphrodite queen become
fabulously wealthy enough to build her own Winchester house? How come the
fencing around the place at the beginning is completely forgotten about at
the end? If you’re going through the secret door and your kitchen floor
into the secret hideaway, don’t put the secret remote control back on the
not secret kitchen counter for anybody to see first. If you’re hiding in
the secret hideaway under the kitchen floor don’t fire rifles up through
the floor and let the mad killer know where you are. Don’t put the control
for the doors that seal off each room within easy reach of the door and
where the hell did those doors go when they’re not deployed anyway? For
what she spent on this why doesn’t she just have some sort of detector in
each room so she doesn’t have to go in and see if they are clear? Why does
your fortress home just have plain glass windows everywhere, even in the
doors? Judy Greer is too old for her part in this. And when the hell did
the hermaphrodite queen manage to breed anyway? Not to mention “how“

At least the second one brought back some other characters. And where
possible the original actors. I mean, how can you object to a movie that
kills Kyle Richards?

Yeah, I saw season one, and didn’t go back for season two. She has the

Hee hee. I just asked the Amazon for song of the South. They offered me a
variety of DVDs and VHS versions of it in both funny foreign languages and

It then asked me if I would like a lovely reproduction of the original 1922
“little black Sambo“
