I never thought Walter lived - it was such a perfect ending for the series, especially with him finally admitting he liked being a drug kingpin. But I recently rewatched the final couple episodes and I now begrudgingly realize why the whole “Walter White is alive” theory persists. We don’t see him pronounced dead -…

While googling pretty much everything he mentioned in this interview, I found out that Blood In, Blood Out has a story by credit to Ross Thomas, my absolute favorite thriller writer. I’ve got some finding of things to do!

I can picture an Evil Dead without Ash as the main character, but I’d need him to be at least the Man in the Chair for his Deadite-fighting compadres. Not just one scene, several.

I don’t know how many steps Tarantino lost by not having Avary as a partner, but... as I recall he kind of shuffled Roger to the side when Pulp Fiction hit big.  Which was, though understandable given Tarantino’s ego, kind of a lousy thing to do.

Pitt’s vocal work in that is amazing, completely unintelligible yet somehow you understand what he’s getting at.

It would be great if they did retrieve the note from the balloon, maybe by shooting it down with a high powered rifle (jeez, why don’t these people think ahead) but the note was unreadable because it was written by Dr. Saperstein from Parks and Rec.

I saw Ad Astra the other day and when I came out there were two cop cars parked out front. Sure enough, they were on duty there at the theater complex because Joker was playing.

I like Scorsese fine. Ish. But I have a hard time taking seriously anyone who calls it “cinema”. Sorry but I do, to the extent that I think of the MCU as the Marvel Cartoon Universe!

My method is the Liverpool Shuffle, used in A Hard Day’s Night. Lifted from a Harpo Marx technique in, I believe, Animal Crackers.

This was a great interview! ..and, um.. I’ve literally never heard of Shea Serrano. I’m not on Twitter and don’t listen to podcasts much, and ... I can rectify that last one and will, but no way I’m going on Twitter.

I really am going to start watching this show again. I’ve seen like half the first season, and have enjoyed it. It’s a giant commitment to watch the whole damn run, but I’m kind of a completist, so...

playing Donald Trump... “You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump’s psychology from the inside out. Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable.

Saw Ad Astra. (One other person in the theater, what the hell?  Am I just late to the party or did the Latin title scare people?) It was really good. I’ve always liked Pitt as an actor and he’s given a lot to do here. There were some batshit crazy scenes, but everything mostly worked. I like that we live in a movie…

The Innocents: ...
One of the best movies of the decade.

Rip Taylor was always reliably funny - he seemed to have SUCH a good time whatever the venue. [Contrast that for a second with Gallagher, a prop comic who, even at his most popular, always seemed a little dismissive of the audience and whose performances were often just perfunctory “here’s a funny prop I made” shows.]…

It was like the Rocky movies. They didn’t really have a winner till the sequel.

By the way — I know an unrelated series, but can we talk about what an underrated movie “Stardust” was?!

Not going to scroll down to see if anyone else mentions this, sorry: at NO point in her few seconds in Homecoming does Paltrow interact with Tom Holland. She has a couple of quick snippy lines to Downey and I guess to Favreau. I could fault her for many things, but not for not realizing that the scene — with her Iron…

Plus, franchises are rarely worsened by the addition of Rosario Dawson to their rosters

What if you had an app that tells you exactly when you’ll die, right down to the second?
