Hello fellow Far Side fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.
The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

If he remade that cartoon today what film would he put in it's place?
Battlefield Earth
Yeah, that’s an embarrassing one I haven’t thought about in years. I should check the credits and see how many Alan Smithees worked on it.
No Alan Smithees, but probably a bunch of Scientologists.
Most movies have a bunch of Scientologists working on. This Battlefield Earth is spacial what with being based on a Hubbard book. Like most cult leaders, he hated psychologists and named the villains Psychlos. Some real high class subtle writing.
I'm surprised no one has said the obvious yet: Morbius
So forgettable the public even forgot to throw shade at it
It's funny, I watched Morbius on Netflix and, when I started it, I thought it was a show. I didn't think it was amazingly great, but I was entertained. Then, halfway through, I realized it was a movie and I couldn't help feeling like the expectations bar should be higher, and it was lacking.
Morbius is... just bad. I'd put The Last Airbender.
Every review of Madam Web that I've come across says that it's worse than Morbius.
Obviously, all films are

I only see 1 Lebaron Freddy, I don't see 2 Lebarons!

You take that back. That's a cinematic masterpiece.
Left Behind
Every time someone tells me they love Nicholas Cage, I point them here. It also fits the theme of Hell. :)
That movie and his role in it made me realize how much money was stolen from him and what he would do to get it back.
"stolen" his lack of money was because he had failed to pay taxes on the enormous income he spent. He was taking any job to recover from his tax bill
To his credit he did a good job on that crap film
I mean, Nick Cage when he's trying is great. There are just those "Collect a Paycheck" movies he does that should be stuck in a separate category.
Oh man, now I gotta watch that
Edit: oof it's included in Amazon Prime
Little Nicky, Adam Sandler's acting is like nails on a blackboard.
I have news for you, that wasn't acting....
I'll watch that movie solely for the Hitler with a pineapple scene
Yeah, I would place Little Nicky just within the greenzone for Adam Sandler movies. The paid advertising was still an odd quirk and before his brand started getting tiring. The Chicago scene is still a good joke.
Cats.
The worst objectively bad movie I've ever seen I thought was called something like "Kong: King of the Jungle". However, I just tried to search for it and couldn't find anything like it. So either it was so obscure that no one knows about it, or my brain has garbled the memory of it into uselessness.
But seriously, it had no beginning, it just started in the middle somewhere with no explanation of how things started. It had no end, as in a conclusion. It lacked plot, characterization, direction, consistancy, anything resembling competent sfx (even primitive ones). It was like a class project by college students who went on to fail film school. 🤮
Has anyone else seen this? Am I remembering the name even remotely right?
Anaconda. Worst film ever🤢.
