    Paul Rudd continuing the bit on Conan's podcast is extremely good

    I think Conan was almost legitimately surprised when it happened. He always seemed to be and I don’t think he’s that good or an actor.

    I'm sure in the back of his head, he was always like "this motherfucker's gonna play the clip again," but I think the podcast, and a couple of the times where he was like, "oh, I'm sorry, here's the actual clip" legitimately got him. I think especially in Rudd's last appearance on the show, he legit got him twice

    The ones off the top of my head that seemed to work were
    1. The podcast
    2. The final show where he claimed to have a clip from Bill Hader’s SNL audition
    3. When promoting ant-man he said that Marvel wouldn’t let him play the clip, so it starts as an Ant-man clip…and immediately becomes the Mac and Me clip with Antman inserted at the end

    The final show where after he played the clip once, he claimed that he had a clip from Baby Geniuses that he almost used the first time, and wanted to show Conan an alternate timeline where he did that instead, and then just played the Mac & Me clip again

    The award for Best Blockbuster is called "Making a billion dollars"

    You can actually buy as many little statues as you want with your billion dollars, you don't have to wait for someone to give you one

    I miss the Conan bit of him pulling the big lever and a random clip of Walker, Texas Ranger plays

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    Best Blockbuster aka "We're going to say the names of popular things a lot, please pay attention to us" aka "we like Barbie too, does that make us cool?"

    i tried to think of a clever quip to mock the golden globes for the new 'disney paid for this category' but i don't think it's worth the effort

    i never paid attention to them before and i'm not going to start now

    Whoever dies first, between Conan and Paul Rudd, the other one is definitely playing a Mac and Me clip at their funeral, right? It honestly works either way. Either one final ride, or the ultimate final revenge.

    I mean, I don't think Blockbuster is making a billion dollars anymore. Though I am surprised at the award, the last time I heard there was only one left so they're probably a shoo-in

    Is there a textbook definition of what is considered a “blockbuster”

    Or is it like genre awards where the studios choose how to submit their movies?

    I wish that movie's treatment of women wasn't... What it is. I really wanted to recommend the movie to folks in the wake of Barbie, I think it's one of Gosling's best performances, but the caveats I have to hang on the work are sizable.

    Man, how much cocaine do you even have to be on to think it's a good idea to put a scene like this in your children's movie? The fuckin' 80s. Jesus H. Christ.

    I walked by my local movie theater earlier today, a tiny four screen joint, and was surprised to discover that Barbie was still playing there

    Obviously it was a big deal, hell, I missed a showing myself because of it repeatedly selling out, but that tail is incredible in a place that needs to rotate through things at an extremely high rate normally

    it needs to have that 70s synth music from the depressing 70s scifi movie ending cliche in family guy

    My local AMC only tends to have a few showings of Barbie a day, but a couple of them still routinely sell out completely.

    It's totally insane

    At first I was excited to see Outlaw Johnny Black, but it's got a super duper limited release in Florida, and looking at clips of it, it really doesn't look that good, sadly. I'm hoping it's going to hit digital release like, any day now.

    Starting my Thursday with Last Shift

    Nothing obscure or cheap or terrible but it’s a movie I have seen on streaming services a thousand times but never watched.

    It’s the one with the scary face with a star carved in it. I’m sure you’ve seen it…although my suggested movies are always loaded with horror so maybe not…

    I saw yesterday that cocaine bear was up on streaming. And immediately cleared out tonight’s schedule to watch it.

    And honestly, I’m a bit disappointed, I was hoping for a batshit crazy adventure, and it was fun, but the way I saw everyone react to it when it first released I expected so much more.

    The hype really was too much and I’m partly to blame for that. If you’d seen it before all of the hype you probably would have liked it a lot more.

    Last Shift was ok. Took a long time to get going, then it got kind of good, then the ending happened and I rolled my eyes.
