And yet the moral is still timeless: don't cheat on your wife, because the other woman might go all psycho and ruin the whole thing.

Unfortunately it's just so unrealistic that women would hurt a rabbit. I freaking hate the rabbits who eat my flower bulbs (might as well call them extremely expensive rabbit food at this point) and yet I still don't want my dogs to hurt them. I definitely wouldn't want anyone to hurt a pet rabbit. It just doesn't track.

I thought the moral was to use a fake name and a burner phone if you're going to cheat? I must be thinking of a different movie.

Trees, ranked. 45. Linden

Very attractive tree with its typically long pyramidal shape - looks great in a long row, as you'll sometimes see in pictures (or paintings!) of agricultural landscapes in Europe. Slightly "dirty" tree with their droppings but nothing to get bent out of shape about, in part because the tree rarely gets bent out of shape or sends a random arm above your garage roof to clog the gutter with those droppings.

Oh, that's a way better lesson. Because then men don't have to change.

There is no thrilling or exciting "action" in the Titanic. Plus you already know it sinks! They're just dying in ice water for a while.

Starting to wonder if the AFI is some type of CIA front that actually doesn't know anything about film, and the members have never watched any, but AFI gives an excuse to say they have a job permitting them to travel overseas often.

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:05 am

Once again- everything that Phoebe said.

Ben-Hur is a remake of Bonfire of the Vanities

Post by **Mike** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 11:00 pm

Common misconception. Ben-Hur is actually the original director's cut of Furious 7, which also inspired Bonfire of the Vanities.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 11:51 pm

Bonfire of the Vanities is a remake of Lord of the Rings: Two Towers.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the biopic based on the documentary Lords of Dogtown. Frodo was the original skate rat.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 2:05 pm

Lords of Dogtown was a remake of Disney's Aladdin.

Post by **Mike** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 2:21 pm

Disney's Aladdin is actually the live-action version of the Coen Brothers' True Grit.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 3:00 pm

True Grit, of course, being the animated version of Lawrence of Arabia.

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 4:37 pm

Lawrence of Arabia is a junior high stage play largely inspired by Face Off.

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 5:42 pm

Face Off is a remake of the Head On commercials.

Kyle · Post by **Kyle** » Sun Apr 24, 2022 8:03 pm

The Head On commercials are a shot-for-shot remake of Psycho.
