If Wonder Wharf ever develops a robust enough repertory cinema scene to show this it will definitely become Tina Belcher's favorite movie/creation myth of choice. It's horses and butts all the way down.

I choose to believe that it's a deliberate, hilarious observation (and not just another example of this movie's extremely sloppy plotting) that for all their elaborate and meticulous plotting none of the Society bluebloods seemed to realize or care that Jews don't have open-casket funerals.

Of all the classic Universal monsters, the Invisible Man is the most human, and therefore also the most deliciously petty. Frankenstein's monster and Dracula are tortured, tragic figures, grimly bearing the weight of their miserable unlives. Claude Rains on the other hand is just out for kicks. Try as he might to deny it in his more lucid moments, for most of the film the Invisible Man is the only one of these monsters who makes living as a horrifying crime against nature seem kind of fun!

Obviously there are plenty of auteurs whose works are suffused with an abiding love for cinema. But nobody loves the movies like Joe Dante does.

Dramatic irony, the strongest kung fu style of them all.

Shit, I already made a "flying Saussure" joke on a different review. Shit.

It's weirdly comforting to know that silent-era audiences, too, had to put up with annoying talking animal sidekicks.
