EEAAO might be a shitty film, but Daniel Kwan was onto something when he said that Hollywood has no answer for media and pop culture cycles that come and go in hours, not months, like they used to. It takes months or years to make a movie. More and more movies are not getting theatrical distribution. Online viewing is…

Grumpy old English man, for the win!

If cops are going to kill people and there’s not a darn thing we can do about it, then these are the people they should be killing. Anti-abortionists. Q followers. Sovereign citizen assholes. Trump supporters. Anti-vaxers. Anti-maskers. Pandemic deniers. Clive Bundy and his turd family. Wishful thinking, I know. I…

Bring the aspirin and/or Tylenol for EEAAO.

TÁR deserved to be rejected. It was a cynical attempt to grab awards, and it come off like some Washington Post op-ed against ‘wokeness.’ Imagine a film about an abuser, told from the perspective of the abuser. And then to cap it, imagine a not-so-subtle racist ending in which our main character can only get a…

People have rights. But no one has rights over a woman’s body. Anyone who genuinely believes that should be put down, IMO.

Even with Texas’ laws, I can’t see this going far in courts. The State has no grounds to grant this man standing if the woman was going to terminate the pregnancy regardless (i.e. get an abortion in another state). Of course I see what is going on here. If this lawsuit has legs, it will strengthen the interpretation…

Disney spent over $150 Million for this production. You damn right they were going to debut the trailer for their summer tentpole during their Oscars broadcast.

Or perhaps retire a wee sooner

Holy shit that looks awful. This review of the script is kinder.

It had some great one liners. But on second viewing years later, I cringed. 

More than half of Best Picture winners are terrible. I will never, ever watch Marty, Gone With The Wind, The Last Emperor, Forest Gump, Chicago, The Artist (WTF!!!!), Chariots Of Fire, Gandhi, Ordinary People....I can go on and on and on.

Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh! Interstate Commerce Clause!

Republicans want to repeal Titles IX and X altogether. And those of us calling it a war on women continue to be told to calm the hell down.

I would also think that since Amtrak is a federally funded business, what happens on an Amtrak train isn’t really a state’s business. I am no source on legality, but when I’m in an Amtrak train, I think of myself as being in a Federally regulated place, like an aircraft cabin. Senator Duckworth sponsored a bill that…

I’m thinking that was a CG horse with human stunt person taken from green screen. But well done no matter what!

Another mini movie of an episode. Joel is now a stone cold stealth killer extraordinaire. And the final conflict was so good, I blocked my brain from asking “where is David’s flock?” and “is Joel not going to ask what happened to Ellie, or if she thinks she was followed?” Nah. Time to get into the canoe!

I never played…

I think the series handled this really well. It was horrific without showing the cannibalism too much. I worry how the Fallout series might handle this if there’s an episode featuring a cannibal faction.

Yellowjackets, take note. (The creators said they have a five season plan).
