I haven't seen, nor intend to, the new Freaky Friday w/ Jamie Lee Curtis. However, I question it, and have evidence once again that Hollywood movies are written by 30 year old white guys who aren't funny. On the ad for the movie, Ms. Curtis grabs her face and exclaims she looks like the Crypt-Keeper. Now this may just be me gettng upset, but do kids these days actually know who the Crypt Keeper is?
I mean, if I didn't have a cousin w/ HBO, I wouldn't have known as a kid, and I never even watched an episode. But undoubtedly, that movie is aimed at people 5-10 years younger than me. I seriously doubt their chances of even having seen Tales From The Crypt. But I could be wrong.
Anyway, sorry, just wanted to be angry.
I know this deserves more than just a sentence or two, but Futurama is so great. Not just because it's funny, but b/c it has lessons, and it often ends with a bit of drama, sad thing, or poignant saying. For instance...tonight, Bender met God in deep space, and at the very end, God said that if you do something right, some people may think you haven't done anything at all. I may have messed that up a bit, but it was so awesome. And then there was the episode with Fry's dog. It ended showing that the dog lived a long miserable life waiting for Fry to come back. It made me sad...I teared up a bit.
In comparison, Family Guy ends with a hilarious zinger, and Futurama ends with pure goodness. Man I love these shows; thank you Adult Swim for making 10-11 p.m. worth not studying for.
Oh, what did the 5 fingers say to the face? ......SLAP!!!!
