Those are kind of evil, I guess, but they’re not e-vil, like the fru-its of the De-vil.

My goal is someday to have a second toaster oven with just a hunk of black burnt evil in it, and perhaps have it glow red except in way that Mac standby indicator getting brighter and softening in a breathing like loop.
That way I can tell guests not to touch it, or not, depending on if they need to go.

I have to agree that these are perhaps the two best times that actors have emoted what true Evil could be.

On the other hand, when evil is funny, it’s funny.

Not a movie, but so untoppable.

Those happen to be my two favorites as well!

As Buckaroo Banzai himself once said, I’ve been ionized, but I’m okay now.

Buckaroo Banzai is twice the movie that Austin Powers was and four times as cool.

Don’t fight me.

I love this scene from The Birds, about 0:59

Thank you for posting this before I had to!

Buckaroo Banzai Adventures Across the 8th Dimension and Time Bandits are two of my favorite movies of all time. There are so many little things (pun not intended) in Time Bandits that I’m still finding new bits of joy every time I watch it. The thing I noticed the last time was that Jim Broadbent played the game show host. Seriously, that movie has more Easter eggs than Ready Player One (and is a thousand times better).
