If this is your dream, do I have a list for you: 30 For 30: Best Films of 1993 Retrospective

The problem is they did this last time with “New Media” and got screwed. People are still pissed about that. So I don’t know if this time around there gonna be as willing to cave.

GREATEST FILMS OF 1993 Usually we try not to have too many lists going at the same time, but this one is time sensitive and pretty contained, so I'm gonna sneak it in. Hey, Millennials, guess what? We're old. 1993 was 30 Years Ago. To celebrate getting old, let's reflect on an excellent year of movies. To quote our eldest boy: I wanted to do this in January, but my life blew up, and my "I need a couple of days" break turned into a longer sabbatical. Thankfully most of the drama has cleared, Comic Con worked as a nice reset vacation, and Barbieheimer sparked my interest in this again. After all, the variety and counterprogramming in 1993 is what makes it go so hard: Family Films? Romance? Action? Drama? Comedy? And of course... the ultimate Double Feature before Barbieheimer, Berg's pest de la resistance I could keep going! It's an embarrassment of riches. A lot of fun films that truly have that "they just don't make 'em like they used to" vibe. I'm also excited to see how the chips will fall: Will Berg run away with this? Will the Much Ado About Nothing Telegram Gang push it up to the Top? Is Mrs. Doubtfire just the best? Everyone going to declare Batman: The Mask of Phantasm the best of the Best? Will folks actually believe my threat that I won't count your list if you don't put Hocus Pocus as #1? (That is a joke... or is it?) So let's get into this. Scoring Lists We always seem to go back and forth over how to score a list. There's no perfect answer. We can only hope to be clear and concise. Last time for the Attack of the Fangirls: 69 Greatest Ships of All Time, I used a system of asking of either a list of 40 or 20. It worked pretty well, so I'm going to modify it for this. (The big issue was we had a lot of ties in the ranking cause of the point spread. So I tighten that up.) Since people always want to submit half lists, I will accept your list in two ways. Either send me a list of THIRTY or a list of FIFTEEN. The list of 15 will be counted ROUGHLY 50% of a list of 30, since there's 50% less entries.

That YouTube series is SO FUN. I watched it religiously back in the day.

We’re going in for around 2 of Barbie with my Mom, Auntie, and Grandma. Just got to the theater. I love how everyone is still obeying the dress code. It’s just a flood of women in hot pink. 🥰

All of those kitchens cost no more than 30-60,000 to build, particularly if you are getting your appliances (which would add another 5-20,000+ to the cost). Unless you are talking about the commercial grade, which, again, shouldn’t be more than a million or two. 😘 Nah, if we’re going to be cards on the table honest here; the biggest competition for Millennial women’s attention is AO3. 🤷‍♀️ Point taken! Yes. Yes to all of this. There was a reason that Buffy was so revolutionary in the 1990s. I mean, from the “ladies getting paid” POV, sure. But in reality, that never works. Hollywood doesn’t give women the endless mea cuplas they give men. So they were just use it as an excuse to never try it again. oh this is easy. Horror movie. Deck adds and subtracts years to your life depending on the card you pull.

As one of the like four Token Women TM on this board, it's right to mock a $130M RomCom. That budget is insane. Particularly if you are spending like a third of it on A List talent, who mostly have already peaked. You're not going to get your money back, and therefore, not going to make anymore of them. Like what? Women like big budget blockbusters. They might not rush out on opening weekend, but they do go to them. Or watch them at home later. Unless, are you talking about Disney being fucking cowards for not making Steve kiss all of the boy Avengers? Cause, then, yeah. Totally agree there. Big Budget blockbusters absolutely need more cute boys kissing.

Amell has been an asshole since Arrow. He was a nightmare to work with and prima Donna to crew. He still can and does make most of his money off Con appearances. I hope people stop signing up for him now. That is the best way to send the rat a message.

but are you Kenough to finish your book?

So I made the switch over to an EV a couple years ago, and bought the Mustang Mach-E. It was very funny to watch all the so-called lib-hating folks on Twitter asking “is everyone gonna give up their EV cause Musk bought Twitter.” And I kept thinking; Nope! 😁 I bought a Ford.

Bucking the stereotype that all Audi owners are a-holes I see 😘

Late to the party, but a couple things: 1. Wicked isn’t making over 150M DOM. 2. Let us never have a Nolan musical. Lol. 3. Let Jenkins do Ragtime.

Eric is gonna pull the Swordfish gag four more times, right until he relieves its #1

Oh, no, i outed myself

Maybe it’s nearly inevitable because y’all are basically reaching Wiccan coven on a solstice before a planetary convergent level of manifesting here. 🤷‍♀️

@ZattMurdock hey please change your settings so I can PM you 🥰

Disney collapsing for a bit feels like the natural Circle of Life. They do it every decade/fifteen years for a while and then bounce back. How and when, no one will know.

Mildred Pierce at #81, y'all.

True feminism at work.

As always @SLAM! you run such a great game! @Rorschach!! Congrats on the win!’ to @Fancyarcher @Asyulus @The Dark Alfred @Goldenhour36 @elcaballero @Jack Sparrow @Agafin @Ethan Hunt @Morieris @DetectiveAl @Wrath @Reddroast @Alex SciChannel @Roxanne next time I promise not to self eliminate, and I will come back with vengeances 🥳

I took him to a dive gyro shop in Santa Monica where we gossiped about you all

Guess who is about to sit down to lunch with @Plain Old Tele!? @Brainbug we alas are not having pasta

But I feel like we could get to another 10 pages in a better way. -writes up something about feminism- -looks at it- Nah… that might be too spicy 🤭

Wakes up… OMG boys, how are you still managing to make Barbie about Star Wars…

My only horse in this race is they campaign Gosling for Best Supporting Actor and not Best Actor, because we all know that Ken is not a Lead.
