In light of Danny Masterson being sentenced to 30 years for rapes, it should be noted that back in 1993, the cult sensation — Beethoven's 2nd — already warned us about him. This predates (no pun intended) the Conan clip making the rounds of late by more than a decade.

Exhibit 1

Seth (Danny Masterson) tries to get George Newton's (Charles Grodin) daughter Ryce out alone ("Say, are you going to be around for a while?") and gets deflated when she says she's actually out looking for someone else.

Exhibit 2

George finally gets to meet Seth. Right off the bat, he's immediately suspicious of him and tries to break the tension by making small talk about his dirt bike. When asked by Ryce what he thinks of Seth, George reacts exactly how I would if questioned what I think about rapists and Scientologists.

Exhibit 3

Seth meets Ryce again by chance on the town fair and asks if she's there with her parents (weird) and attempts to invite her on a "picnic" (mega weird). When Ryce correctly answers that she needs to tell her parents first, Seth whines that they'll just say no because he could tell George has a low opinion of him. He then says that he understands and expects to win him over once he gets to know the real Seth.

Exhibit 4

Despite the movie wrapping things up by setting Seth up as a good guy, George remains wary and dubious of him.

This would be Charles Grodin's final film shoot before taking a long break from acting — only to return in 2004, the same year as Danny Masterson's infamous Conan interview.

Lemmy seriously needs kindergarten-level SEO. None of the communities barely show up on Google.

I watch highlights on YouTube when uploaded. But I stopped watching late night shows a long time ago... ever since Conan left NY. Although that coincides with me finding work and never having the time to watch live (which is around 1pm here). Then streaming became a thing shortly after that and we had to cut cord.

I re-watched Beethoven's 2nd a few weeks ago and everything made sense now.

Charles Grodin was always suspicious of Danny Masterson's character right from the start, up until the very end. Danny also has a weird reaction when Ryce says she was looking for Taylor, knowing his opportunity to introduce her to Scientology was blown.

All-Star brought attention to Mystery Men, which is a criminally underrated movie. So, that's another reason to like that song.

We're now a step closer to making dogs with BBs in their mouths and when they bark they shoot BBs at you.

I haven't been using Wordpad for 20+ years. Notepad could do everything it does already. Then, you also have Firefox's built-in inspect to tinker with code on the fly.

Does Lemmy count as social media?? lol

Iron Man 3.

Led us to believe Ben Kingsley was going to be a badass villain only to be revealed that he was an actor.

This was one of our favorite movies as kids, and my brother and I would always make jokes referencing it.

"Take two of these and call me in the morning! Mwahahahahaha!"

I haven't seen it in full, but I do remember it creating a bit of controversy with the cookie dongs and kids. Some critics didn't find it funny at all.

Exactly. I remember seeing Liar Liar and Jim Carrey's reaction when the kids were taken away by his client was top-tier drama. And just his line delivery and malleability were signs of great acting, regardless if it's offen "wasted" in comedy.

 

No cause of death was disclosed. However, Jerom mentioned that JM – whose full name is Jamile Matthew Madiclum Canlas – had been struggling with his mental health.
