Well that's a movie title I didn't expect to hear here: The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (1992).
The way I remember it, that movie was actually fun for its contents. Hammy as shit, but fun to watch. I treated it as a monster movie at the time (watched on television not too long after release). Looking up the cast is fun btw, since I have no recollection of anyone in that movie except for Rebecca de Mornay and the general gist of it.
I don't think it was supposed to be a monster comedy though, but that might be Gremlins 2 intervening in my memory.

When the Bough breaks just looks like another Fatal Attraction close with the DNA all warped.

I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses, or start eating that trash can thread full of Thor 2 stand.

WHO WOULD PUNCH RODDY PIPER

That's clearly an elbow, not a punch.
Not even Keith David would dare to punch Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Weird, I was literally thinking the other day that having someone's punch break on their face would be a good way to introduce a slightly more 'governments is me' type Superman.
Cage is not that though (I think? ), so that's a 'huh' right there.
Maybe I saw this gif before, completely forgot about it, and then remembered it 'as own idea' (not actually own idea, but the impression of being creative when no such creativity is used). Please don't post that "I made this" comic, I'm familiar with the process, thanks.

I think Eastwood is the oldest director to have a #1 movie at the U.S. box office
I didn't realize that he was 86. For some reason I thought late 70s/early 80s. But Gran Torino was already 8 years ago...

I'm looking through a list of 2017 releases and, it could just be me, but it looks a lot better than 2016.
2016, so far, has been a really down/bad year quality wise. Especially compared to the excellent 2015.
Original script had

Honestly a really shocking opening for me.
They've got to fast track the Uncharted movie now.

Why is it a shock? It's a really good movie. Not Clint's best ones, but a really good movie. Hanks is awesome (cue Oscars).

wouldn't want a terrible joke like "I'm with your son" right?
I thought she was with you.
On an unrelated note, is it bad that one of the reasons I wanted Beyond to do well was so that Paramount would just give Lin Transformers?
Seems like Sully is heading to a 35 million weekend, which is better than anticipated.

17) The Disappointments Room - $1.4M
The Wild Life's Estimated Sunday hold strikes me as wishful thinking. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kubo back in the Top 5 with the Weekend Actuals. Norm of the North made twice as much in its opening weekend. Summit should probably ditch their attempts at animation.

I watched The Good Dinosaur just now. I don't understand why it failed. Brilliant animation! I mean, it basically made me a believer that the future of movies will be all CG. Actors will not be needed in the future; even for voice, since that will be less robotic going forward. Great story line, too.

That's probably true in 15-20 years, especially when you see what they did to Michael Douglas in Antman and RDJ in civil war, and the speech stuff that Deepmind is doing now. Both of those things are still too expensive, both money wise and process wise. Expensive actors have their days counted just like Uber drivers.
Regarding Good Dinosaur, I thought the story was decent, but the delivery left something to be desired. The graphics and CG were superb, except for the main characters. It was a weird contrast between the amazing scenery and the dinosaurs that looked like they belonged in the flinstones.
