I've, uh, got some bad news, Nathan.

::It would be easy to see Rooney as a hypocrite and fraud whose principled opposition to horror movies involving evil men in Santa suits evaporated the moment the makers of Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy-Maker offered him money in exchange for his acting services.::

And I do.

Also a huge heaping pile of garbage and attention whore.

And a racist with zero idea of offensive he was in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S.

Seeing him run out of Hollywood on a rail, after being tarred and feathered, would have suited me right to the ground.

PS: Mr. Yunioshi in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S was Japanese, not Chinese. Not that I think Rooney had any more idea of the difference, either....

I ignored this series initially, assuming the sequels were just cynical retreads. Instead, 3-5 are each their own thing, not very good but at least distinct from each other. I would love to know the reasons for three different characters in the series being named Ricky, and Clint Howard playing two of them, as well as whether Kim’s worm baby is her skating teen son in The Toymaker.

The teen son is actually Lonnie, her boyfriend's brother from the previous movie. For some reason, she has custody of a kid that she had met a total of two times, the second time being the same time that his parents were murdered.
