Would Excalibur count? It is a name, if not of a person.

Good Movies / Re: Coyote vs Acme (2026)

I quite liked this one, saw it tonight.  It's very funny.  The story works.  Forte is good.  Lots of good gags, and the themes both inside the story and as a meta commentary after the film's background (what a shame so much obvious care and attention was going to be thrown in the trash, yeesh) works too.  I actually felt some emotion at the story in a few points, which is saying something.

To be mildly critical...  I think the character work for some side people is a little thin, and it does run out of steam a bit in the last act.  But it's never BAD.

It's not as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which is pitch perfect in every scene for the entire run time, but what is?

Quote from: WingedSerpent on August 28, 2026, 05:56:30 PMI was able to catch an early showing of this movie and I'm really glad I did. This was a surprisingly good movie.

You may have heard the story behind it. It was filmed, but the WB decided to not release it in order to right it off as a tax break. Until another distributer pick it up to release after massive fan response wanted it shown.

The story goes into a few interesting directions. Some of which actually feel like a reflection of what would go on in a world where cartoons and humans co-habituate.

For the most part the animation works.  A lot of the main characters look good and there's plenty of call backs to the original shorts. There are a few that don't work. Foghorn Leghorne is a partially noticeable as a cell-shaded CGI model instead of a cartoon.

I also though all the actors did a good job. Will Forte and John Cena for me are very hit or miss. Cena, especially because he's one of those actors I can't see as someone other than himself. But I liked him here.

I highly recommend seeing this film.

Thanks, I will go see it.

Opens here on 18 September.

Just came across this old 1980s assistant manager training video from the Mart of K (aka K-Mart)

Tonight's Stinker
Zarkorr! The Invader(1996)
https://youtu.be/54ivQh9fHzo?si=4Fh5PoJi4762t9Mp

Somewhere in California, a fairly adequate looking kaiju busts out of a mountain & starts destroying some decent looking miniatures....
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, an off duty postal worker is visited by a six inch tall alien disguised as a "teenage mall tramp".... She tells him he's been selected by a superior race to save the Earth from Zarkorr, because he's the most ordinary man on Earth... He decides to enlist the help of a pretty young cryptozoologist who's being interviewed by an unenthusiastic anchor at a local television station, but a series of misunderstandings, and rather dated jokes about postal workers (you had to be there) lead to a standoff with police....

From a pretty blurry VHS rip..... The segments tend to linger for long periods of time, but the jokes and frantic pacing, along with the interspersed scenes of the monster trashing sets, manage to keep it from getting dull

"The Curse" (1987)
A meteorite crashes on the property of a Tennessee farm family, unleashing an alien goo which seeps into the ground and contaminates the water supply. Soon the crops are rotting, the animals are turning vicious, and the family begins de-volving into disease-ridden psychos. Only the teenage son (Wil Wheaton, later of "Star Trek: TNG") remains unaffected as he tries to save his little sister from becoming one of "them."
This low budget Italo-American co-production was apparently based on an H.P. Lovecraft story. It takes a while for "The Curse" to get going, but the second half is loaded with gooey makeup effects and ultra violence, therefore I was entertained. Followed by at least three unrelated direct-to-video sequels.

Stove top stuffing instead of potatoes. Overcooked a little, more medium or even medium well than medium rare. Not the best steak I ever cooked but good.
