positive · AI labelView post →Not a movie thing, but: On March 12, 1951, the US witnessed the debut of the newspaper comic Dennis the Menace. Also on March 12, 1951, the UK witnessed the debut of a completely unrelated newspaper comic, also called Dennis the Menace.

neutral · AI labelView post →Random TIL for the day, inadvertently via @zachleat.com's post here www.zachleat.com/web/history-... - the US had a _different_ Dennis the Menace, which explains the 1993 movie that really confused me with it's visuals as a teen. Only took a few decades to work it out 🤦
neutral · AI labelView post →Combining Christmas with the 25th anniversary of the Bond film that solidified my fandom. Where Brosnan fucks hard, swallows so much Thames water it's amazing Dennis the Menace didn't have to do a mercy killing and blows up the Millenium Dome. All in the first ten minutes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bad Moon has a dog, a former Dennis the Menace, and Eddie minus his cruisers. I cannot say this is a great movie but it is a werewolf movie with a werewolf. So, that’s a plus. Tonight at 10 EST. #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →I figured since they already had John Bellis as Thomas and John Hollis as Gordon in the recast cut of TATMR, why not John Baddeley as Edward? I mean, it'd be cool if a TUGS VA was on board with the film. And I figured the Colonel (Dennis the Menace would be a good fit. Enjoy!
neutral · AI labelView post →Ocean. There's perhaps no company more closely associated with mediocre licensed tie-in games in the '80s and '90s. They made and published tons of them, grabbing up every movie license they could on the cheap. Everything from Dennis the Menace to the Untouchables to Waterworld to the Flintstones.
neutral · AI labelView post →Flintstones: Has been reduced to nothing but gummy vitamins, cereal, and cameos. Dennis The Menace: Newspaper comics, that's it. Woody Woodypecker: Used to in the 70s was shown before feature films, had a bad CGI movie and was universal orlando studio's mascot, now forgotten. Not forever.

positive · AI labelView post →I like sticking silly little details in the background of books I illustrate - it’s nice when people notice them! Somebody just remarked upon ‘Pants of Fear’ in the background Of this Dennis the Menace book - this is a film that needs to be made surely?!?

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: someone I knew on an MLP imageboard I used to frequent said that he actually lived in the town where the 90's Dennis the Menace movie was filmed and even auditioned for the role. He then said, "Considering what happened, I probably dodged a bullet there." I still don't know what he meant.
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder what the 1993 Dennis the Menace movie would have been if Tim Burton had ended up directing it like Warner Brothers originally wanted. It's a weird fit, but he was at his peak back then and it sort of makes an odd kind of sense if you think about it

neutral · AI labelView post →So yesterday, I listened to the Dennis the Menace: Dinosaur Hunter movie on YouTube while I worked. The poster for the movie is very misleading as there is no dinosaur to be seen at all apart from a few fossils. Does it count as a dinosaur movie tho considering the movie involved dinosaurs?
neutral · AI labelView post →Listening to some Blank Check back catalog episodes and in one they briefly discuss the 1993 Dennis the Menace film and recommend the listener look up what Christopher Llloyd looks like in that movie and MY GOD. I was NOT prepared.

negative · AI labelView post →If there was ever gonna be a CALVIN & HOBBES movie it should've been during that early '90s run of ADDAMS FAMILY, FLINTSTONES, DENNIS THE MENACE, etc. which were at least always interesting and lively and weird, whether they worked or not.

He had recurring roles on ‘Dennis the Menace,’ ‘Perry Mason’ and ‘Hazel.’ He even appeared in the big screen Arnold Schwarzenegger movie "True Lies.”
neutral · AI labelView post →What makes this doubly hilarious is that it’s mocking the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who are about to have a new movie and video game out while the last time anyone saw Woody Woodpecker or Dennis the Menace was in movies whose combined Rotten Tomatoes score is still in single digits lol.
