OK, I have a question, more a philosophical or moral one, but first... My first viewing, I thought it might have been the original actors, though one of them was a little slimmer (then again, that movie would have been filmed 2 years ago, so not crazy). Then, I see it’s not, but I also see a behind the scenes, and

I for one don’t have glee at this. I’d have been interested in a Rogue Squadron movie. That said, part of me hopes this sort of news gets us closer to Disney shaking up Lucasfilm... taking the lesson from the MCU and putting someone creative, who loves this universe, in charge of executing it, particularly the films.

One thing I would add was when he’s being told he made a total of 144 pounds of profit over the last year... yes, you can say that in general terms he’s a bit of a twat, but in the moment he asks about “real” farmers - for someone without an Amazon film crew, for those who don’t host “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” on

The problem with any complaint about Jeremy Clarkson being a jerk is that there is no refuting that. It’s just an objective fact. But that’s what makes it entertaining... I mean, look at some classic shows - Frasier Crane was a pompous ass, the four main characters on Seinfeld were self-centered A-holes. But that’s

I think they need to change up leadership. They need their Kevin Feige, and it is not Kathleen Kennedy. She has an impressive list of producing credits before Star Wars. But there are different types of “producers”, and I think she was the type that worked to make things happen for Speilberg, who was the creative with

That what they say. But when they played his skeleton like a xylophone, they strike the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something?

A Man Called Ove (Swedish with subtitles) is on Amazon Prime, and it is very good.

Now playing

I recommend “Street Smart”... good movie - quick story, a struggling reporter following a pimp for a story - and Freeman is the pimp... uses that Freeman charm when needs to, turns it dark when he needs to. Good movie that flew under the radar...

Just rewatched, and something I picked up on - not sure if I’m reading too much in, but this was written by the writer of “Rogue One” - is that when they start the escape attempt, each guy who starts the next step is killed, but someone follows behind him and gets to the next step until he’s killed, and the next guy

I’ve not seen this yet, I will as soon as I can really settle in and watch. I don’t know what to expect, but calling this “sharper” intrigues me... I really feel the first movie had an amazing screenplay (with great performances and direction to support it) that didn’t have one wasted line... if something was said as

Actually, that’s what they announced he would go by.

I found the shots when Marc is leaving the museum on the CCTV, and looking at the camera, with Steven looking back - shot-to-shot-to-shot-to-shot of the same actor staring at us, a masterclass... the hair is the same, the clothes are the same, but Oscar Isaac exuded such different energies as each character that it

I’ve felt that these shows that were canceled, they were too long. They’re filling up an hour of time, and I think that’s too long to play pretty much the same game through. These used to be 30 minute shows, and I think they’d have been better off doing a block of half-hour game shows. After 30 minutes, we’re

I always loved his scenes on New Girl, and this saddens me... but go look up his Wikipedia page... he lead a hell of a life, as did his whole family - his father a leader in the early Korean-American community (he and his wife are said to been the first couple to emigrate from Korea), his brother an actor (Master Kan

Kate and Yelena through this show has been so much fun. I hope if there is a Season 2 focused on Kate, that they get Florence Pugh back not for any action scenes, just a couple times where she and Kate are doing touristy or “Sex and the City” girl bonding.

Well, if Laura was Mockingbird as some has suggested... she would have been a blonde when Clint fell for her, so he wouldn’t see a similarity.

Of the movies listed in the piece, I’m definitely with ‘Knives Out’. But in the comments, KateH may have nailed it with Sneakers. But I’ll throw in, though it can be recency bias, but I did like the small roles in “Tick, Tick... Boom”. While no huge Broadway stars are in the main roles, it has what feels like every NY

Not a perfect film, has some flaws, but enjoyed it.

No mention in the Stray Observations of Ray ripping open his shirt like Superman when he was running off for his Atom suit?

Ray certainly needs to live his own life. I felt with Chester, it was a little bit like a Star Wars fan in 1984 meeting Harrison Ford and setting up a “Han Solo” signing at a convention... that’s all you want to imagine of them, but they may want to be doing a different thing. Not that Chester was wrong, just he was
