    When did they stop making movies with 8th grade underdogs taking on giant corporations?

    Is this a good movie? No. But it is quintessentially '90s from the underestimated group of misfits to the cartoonishly evil villains. This is a movie that eluded me for years - I distinctly remember the scene where Jessica Alba's character emerges from underneath a car in all her tomboy glory. This was definitely a foundational queer moment for me, but I could not figure out…

    This was the perfect film to watch while absolutely toasted.

    The story is wild, the names absurd - it was a pleasure to finally experience this.

    The only thing that bothered me was that, of all the incredible creatures, the Gelflings were the least expressive puppets just with facial movement alone. It's interesting to have your protagonists be less visually compelling than villains and minor characters.

    Anyway, I desperately need a fizzgig.
