So is the name “Kenobi” like Smith in their galaxy? Or is Luke just a dolt?
“Obi-Wan Kenobi so weird I know a guy named Ben Kenobi oh well this soup is good.”

Wife is watching a totally decent just released Netflix rom-com where Rachel Leigh Cook is falling in love in Vietnam and they went to a remote village and she just came down the stairs in a new dress and her hair pulled back and it was kinda great. I am a little bummed they didn’t needle drop a Vietnamese cover of “Kiss Me” though.
Update: Found a Vietnamese cover of “Kiss Me” on YouTube. Ha!
Watching Flight of the Navigator with the kids, and in the first 10 minutes we see David and his brother ride unbuckled and wrestling in the back of a station wagon, find out he keeps a giant box of fireworks next to his bed, and then that his parents expect his 8 year old brother to walk home in the dark in the woods and across the train tracks.
The 80s man.
First time I’ve seen this since the 80s myself. All I could remember was thinking it was scary, which watching again with my own 7 year old makes me realize I must have been quite the weenie. She really enjoyed the early mystery and then the tiny cute alien, and unlike her dad didn’t find it one bit scary. It was fun watching it with her and I enjoyed the first 2/3rds, but when the alien ship turns into Pee Wee Herman it lost me a bit for a while before picking up again towards the end.

Overall, to me at least, the illustration and animation in Alice in Wonderland just isn’t as good as some of the older Disney classics and the story is too madcap (pun intended) and silly for me personally.
I don’t know, but this has always been the Disney movie I have least affection and connection with. I’m not 100% sure when/if I’ve really ever sat and watched the whole thing before this rewatch, at least not in the last 30 years. I’m not sure my kids have ever really watched it or been interested in it either.

Fantastic looking and tons of fun references. Adequate storyline that anyone whose ever played a Mario game could predict, but good enough for a fun afternoon at the theater with the kids.
Although it is not a nonstop laugh fest, it got several big laughs from my kids, despite the fact that they are more into Minecraft/The Sims than they are into Mario. It is definitely a kids’ movie with references for us “olds,” but it was made lovingly and shows a real understanding and appreciation of the Mario characters and worlds.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s Peach and especially Jack Black’s Bowser were definitely the highlights, but all of the performances were good. Yes, including Chris Pratt.
Special shoutout to the nihilistic Lumalee the Luma who stole the show in their brief appearances.

The goomba creature design is the most baffling thing about this truly deranged movie.
I have now watched both Citizen Kane and Super Mario Bros. (1993) in the last 48 hours. Truly, both are pinnacles of cinema.

Watched this with my youngest kid in 4k thanks to the fantastic restoration available on the Internet Archive. Looked surprisingly great and considering it is from only one year after the original Super Mario Bros. for NES there were a number of characters rendered surprisingly close to what they’d eventually look like in games 20+ years later. Definitely bonkers in some places and all the toad characters are certifiably horrifying.
Now I’m looking forward to the new Super Mario Bros movie’s post credit scene revealing the hot anime Prince Haru spinoff.

So is the premise every single person in this world is a hitman? Even in public people are either trying to kill Johnathan Wick or they’re completely unfazed by the constant stabbing and headshots feet away from them. Why are the henchmen (and the lone henchwoman who literally can’t speak) all so willing to get shot in the face for the bad guy?

Considering I completely disagreed that several of these even are time travel movies (*cough* Demolition Man *cough*), this is a great fun Incomparable episode and I saved several new things to my watchlist.
I am so glad to be done with the musical anthology section of my Disney Animation Studios chronological rewatch. I assume I can safely literally blame Hitler for this down period between 1942 and 1950?
The Pecos Bill segment was ok, maybe I would have liked the whole thing better if I hadn’t just watched Make Mine Music and the other anthologies.
