Still one of the best on-screen deaths imo.

If that scene is any indicator, it'll be about another week and a half before he's finally down for good.

 

May he RIP.

If he could have stayed blue balled longer he wouldn't have gotten blackballed.

Watched Big Adventure last week with a few friends and lots of kids. We all died laughing again and all the kids loved it. Im sure some of that was nostalgia for the grownups but in general we found the movie holds up amazingly well.

  Too bad Star Trek TNG already did Data's brother as I envisioned Reubens being a great match to Brent Spiner in terms of improvisation skills.

I watched it over the weekend too, and agree it holds up well. I hadn't seen it in years but one thing that jumped out at me was how many references to Hell, Satan, the Devil etc there are in that flick (Satan's Helpers, the dream sequence, the music video, plus a half dozen more).

 

I mean, I know it's Tim Burton but that was something I either never noticed or completely blocked out from when I was a kid. Then again, 80s kids were just built different.

We were all so desensitized to Satanic references from listening to Twisted Sister while playing Dungeons and Dragons that we became inured to it.
