That raises a lot of questions, all of them with horrifying answers.

If the idea didn’t frighten him more, David would’ve asked him to keep going and tell him any funny nonsense he could think of. With Miller it was hard to tell truth from fantasy, sometimes it wasn’t worth thinking about. It was funny and scary, except the fear would only come later.

Skinny Pete: Transporters are breaking you apart right down to your molecules and bones. They're makin' a copy. That dude who comes out on the other side? He's not you. He's a color Xerox.
Badger: So you're telling me every time Kirk went into the transport he was killing himself? So over the whole series, there was, like, 147 Kirks?
Skinny Pete: At least. Dude, why do you think McCoy never liked to beam nowhere? 'Cause he's a doctor, bitch! Look it up, it's science!

Holy shit. There’s a secret group of people within the White House actively working to curb President Trump. Which is wild because this means, this whole time, we've been dealing with the watered-down version of Trump? You're telling me that this is the better version? Like, I thought this was the peak of crazy! This is Diet Trump? That's what you're saying?!

Now, I know this is gonna sound crazy, and not very scary, but it is scary, if you think about the implications. Promise me you'll think about the implications!

We should probably drop the word 'Monster' from the title since you usually just kill blameless wildlife that only attacks because you're invading its territory or because you just pushed a sharpened stick through the ear of its favourite child, but I guess calling it Hunter/Gatherer of Innocent Young Dinosaurs Pathetically Mewling Their Last as The Memory of Their Mother's Warmth Drifts away to Be Replaced by the Unforgiving Coldness of— Oh, fuck it. Let's just call it You Bastard!.
Anyway, the real question for me is how they build these (cardboard mechs). All I know is that we rounded up a bunch of paper Toads and sent them to work in the weapons development lab. Where are they getting all the cardboard fro- OH MY GOD YOU MONSTERS!!!

One of the most frightening things I've ever heard is when someone pointed out that the existence of the Uncanny Valley implies that at some point there was an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that looked human but wasn't.
Sarsgaard finally gives Braff his secret present, which is his dead mom's 'favorite necklace,' and is like PS, YOU'RE WELCOME, I ROBBED YOUR MOM'S GRAVE FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY. I DUG UP HER COFFIN AND UNBUTTONED HER BLOUSE AND LIFTED HER CORPSIFIED HEAD AND TENDERLY UNDID THE CLASP AND STOLE THIS NECKLACE AND NOW I'M GIVING IT TO YOU. SORRY ABOUT THE SMELL. AND THE CURSE.
And Braff is, like, jazzed about it. Like that was a real solid thing to do.

Chris: Did Perry just not tell her what she was going to France to cover? Because it would be kind of hilarious if he didn't.

“Sure, Perry, what's the story?”
“Oh, you'll find out.”

Superman IIThink of Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day, who, having spent tens of thousands of years living the same day on repeat, conceivably would have fucked, murdered, and eaten everybody in that town, Punxsutawney Phil included, many times over. By the time he finally woke up next to Andie MacDowell, he'd have zero sense of moral boundaries, and any true epilogue to Groundhog Day would end with the discovery of her horribly broken body, while Bill Murray's shot to death by cops, masturbating on the roof of a children's hospice.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. I took my kid to see this movie and it's about a bunch of food that comes to life, like tacos and burgers and shit. And the weird thing is that, of course, most food starts out alive. The meat in the burger used to belong to a cow that was alive. But now the cow has been killed, slaughtered, formed into a patty, and that patty has been reanimated into a new life-form. That's mildly disturbing. Then again, HAW HAW LOOGIT THE WALKING BURGER THAT'S SO CRAY CRAY.
Essentially, it's a game about being Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, except only one person gets to be Mr. Potter, and everyone else gets to be Jimmy Stewart on the verge of flinging his penniless ass into the swirling frigid waters beneath Pauper's Bridge.
The U.S. Marshals started hunting me for driving one simple wagon of dynamite into a friendly conversation. So the fact that traffic accidents carry the death penalty yet you can legally blow holes in prostitutes means that some woman-hating programmer took a lot of time to make sure it worked that way.
"The more of these we do, the more we realize that children's cartoon programming is a horrible nightmare place. A Scientifically Accurate CatDog would have to be created by merging two feeling beings into one. Sure, we might learn something about how to suppress their immune systems to keep their disparate bodies from rejecting one another, but at what price comes this knowledge?'"

A moment that seemed innocuous at the time but ended up marking a diversion of a strange new era of your life-set in motion not by a series of jolting epiphanies but by tiny imperceptible changes between one ordinary day and the next, until entire years of your memory can be compressed into a handful of indelible images-which prevents you from rewinding the past, but allows you to move forward without endless buffering.

But so, whatever, [Sonic] remains on Earth and has a series of relatively tame, bloodless adventures while chased by Dr. Robotnik. That is, until he and his human friend arrive in San Francisco. By this point, Dr. Robotnik has synthesized one of Sonic's quills to be able move just as quickly as, say, an intergalactic hedgehog. What results is a chase scene through the streets of San Francisco, with Robotnik blowing up everything in sight including … a bus full of civilians.
For most of this scene, if you squint hard enough, you can pretend the buildings obliterated by Robotnik are closed or out of business thanks to coronavirus, but this bus is in the middle of an intersection. Sure, it looks like it's stopped because Sonic and Robotnik move so quickly, but it's not and it's operating as normal. It's also the middle of the day, so you have to assume the bus was full of passengers who are now charred meat in the middle of the road. The movie just blows past the implications of this scene (because, "Wow look at Sonic's cool slide!") but, Jesus, that's like 60 people dead because Sonic chose to dick around in San Francisco instead of go to the mushroom planet. Those deaths are on his tiny, gloved hands.
It is somewhat unclear how old Snow White is when she meets the dwarves and how long she stays there, though it explicitly says that she's seven years old when she becomes more fair than the queen. (And the illustrations don't show her aging at that point, so maybe she's still seven when she eats the apple and the prince is a pedophile.)
The final part (and post-credits tag) was great because it made me realize for the first time how much the Pines family is like the creation of a horror movie- this weird old man with secrets living in a shabby, sporadically-visited menagerie of stuffed and wax things, with a pair of twins who know way more about the supernatural than they should. If you crossed the Pines family by, say, failing to spend the necessary amount of money at the Mystery Shack, I'm pretty sure it doesn't end well for you.

Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before. This is, to put it mildly, a rather troubling plot development — has Piglet had a party and not invited Pooh? He has invited Christopher Robin, and allowed him to take a total of two balloons home with him, and he has even invited one of Rabbit's relations who was rather too young to go to a party but went anyway. Surely Pooh was invited too, but if he was, where is his balloon?

So when they find that you gotta high midichlorian count in your bloodstream, I guess your parents give you up to the Jedi as a baby to be trained in this creepy, cultlike environment and you lose all your free will.
What a scary concept: to use that thing as a weapon? Dropping one of those eggs on an enemy territory would be worse than an atom bomb. The Aliens would wipe out any population. Now, assuming the company knew what kind of aliens existed on this planet and sent an unprepared crew over there, how did they plan to bring it back and how would they control it? Now obviously it was a half-cooked scheme and it wasn't successful, and to use those Aliens against your enemy would only result in spreading a new enemy that's even worse.

"One of the things I picked up on right away was how much it must suck to be tia Pépa. Because if she just is in a bad mood, creates a tornado, she could literally kill someone. This is someone who has been pressured consistiently since she got her power to always be happy. There's also [Mirabel's] mother, and how she's likely pressured to constantly be cooking, because what if somebody gets into an accident and they're near death? And how has Dolores not gone insane with all of the sounds being able to hear literally everything in what has to be like a mile to five mile radius?
