RedeemerWhat are your thoughts on this movie?
snooggumsA fun dark movie from before Burton jumped the shark. It has his signature style and the mood of the setting is excellent, enjoyed the casting, acting, plot, and pacing.
Great movie.
what in the world does “jumped the shark” mean?
Back in the day there was a website called jumptheshark.com that discussed the “jumped the shark” turning point episodes of various TV shows. It was an interesting and hilarious read at the time. Been defunct a while now though. Very useful term to describe entertainment series that lost their mojo.
The term comes from an episode of happy days
Indeed it does. The term was coined by Jon Hein, who created the website jumptheshark.com.
The term and reference were in colloquial use long before the website.
