  - Heh, I mean the 2020 version. Hadn't realized there was a 1988 one. Sounds unrelated, judging by the synopsis. - Beryllium Jul 4, 20:32 2
    - There's also a 2019 Courier that's on my list. Though I'm pretty sure it's not a good movie -- nm - sycor Jul 4, 20:41

        I've seen avatar twice. It's reasonably entertaining. Not worth spending a decade making six sequels about, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 4, 18:30 1
        
        I don't think we need to worry about that! - mud Jul 4, 18:35

Ooh, but then there's a tie for fourth, so they'd have to play off, and they could go longer. And there's a tie for 6th! and 8th! - Reagen Jul 4, 15:37 3
- this sounds just like the Calvins! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 4, 16:29 2
  - it's the sort of nonsense that led to Monkeybone being declared the best movie of 2001 - Reagen Jul 4, 16:36 1
    - Though Chris Kattan did deserve his Supporting Actor award. -- nm - Dano Jul 4, 17:54

        The problem with it is I wouldn't want to eat. I'd just stare at it. And one summer day, the power would fail and my sculpture would melt. -- nm - crash davis Jul 4, 15:44 5
        
        That is why Amy said she would 3D print one for me. -- (pic) - Spawn Jul 4, 15:50 [Attachment] 4
