We already have the Mia Goth trilogy. X, Pearl, and MaXXXine. If they extend beyond that it will at least be something new and unexpected.

Same. To me Quantumania was a relationship comedy (like, you know, the previous two Ant-Mans) set in a trippy dimension. And I enjoyed how they used the rules of the setting so that, say, Scott could create a swarm of himself and solve a problem using actual ant tactics. Or that the setting allowed MODOK’s giant face…

This is a really nice “chronological” recap of Indiana Jones’ on screen career that includes the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Besides the fun of just how many historic figures and events he managed to encounter, it includes all the ways that show set up his future exploits and abilities. Military training as a WW1…

Fortunately Texas governor Abbott has leapt into action banning mandated breaks and access to water for outdoor workers.

The original Star Wars soundtrack also takes top spot for its non-symphonic side trips into interstellar jizz. As Lucas prompted him, aliens interpreting Benny Goodman, with an off kilter assembly of off kilter instruments. The entire track goes through some wonderful permutations and breaks and even has a proper…

The song on its own would be predictable (not a bad thing for musical theater audiences) but it’s not like you can’t find new ways to be shocking with live-staged singing chorus on crucifixes or any variety of Roman-era capital punishment. After all Spamalot didn’t stick to gags from Holy Grail.

Court Martial makes me wonder whose call it was to label the third button on Kirk’s chair “JETTISON POD” like a Batman ‘66 prop. As if he’s jettisoning pods all the time and more often than going to green alert.

Or on a surfboard summoning a wave of attack penguins.

MAD Magazine released an issue containing a record album (back when everyone had record players) with eight spiraled versions of a song “Super Spectacular Day” each with a different ending. You just had to keep playing it to hear them all, which lots of parents REALLY appreciated.

When the movie came out Natasha Lyonne was, reasonably, not on my radar at all. And I wasn’t particularly drawn to a cheerleader protagonist. Now I see her and say “THAT’S Natasha Lyonne?!?” and throughout the movie her undercurrent of humor and vulnerability is amazing. She does so much with just her face and body…

When I saw Crystal Skull’s theater release the motorcycle chase through Marshall College got lots of laughs and even applause. The dodges and misdirects are energetic. The humor from the setting, like the Jock punching Mutt into a Greaser gang or the library students or the Blues Brothers-esque protest, feel like…

Satine may have been a subject better avoided for Bo-Katan and her disparate clans during Mandalorian season 3. The whole New Mandalorian movement was radical and controversial to the point that Bo-Katan moved against her own sister with Death Watch. Obviously she regretted that choice and changed sides but was too…

The Variety interview is on YouTube and quite enjoyable since Lyonne and Lynskey interview each other. I wasn’t familiar with either movie so this sent me down a rabbit hole of finally appreciating But I’m A Cheerleader.

You can eat the ratatouille from Ratatouille. Pixar had Thomas Keller come up with an actual recipe that would have interesting preparation and look attractive. The New York Times published the original recipe but now there are adaptations all over the internet (search “confit byaldi”.)

Mega is quite useful for legitimate gigabyte file transfers. Now that everyone can do digital video I often need it as a virtual thumb drive. It has a good interface and you can set up a drop box link.

Steve Martin says regular applications will make it beautiful.

Because THERE ARE NO NAZIS IN UKRAINE. Shadesof808080 is a Russian bot spouting the same weak propaganda since 2014. That’s why all they have is “here is a logo that resembles a swastika” or “this blurry detail could be a swastika.” If there was a significant Nazi presence in Ukraine with its democratically elected…

It’s hilarious you expect anyone to believe that.

I would not believe ANY metric from Twitter’s petulant child-brain. I’m sure he thinks inventing or inflating numbers is some edgelord genius tactic like not paying rent.

If you think the slide comparisons are effective, you should see the footage from the ground. Ukrainians are out rescuing as many people and animals as they can while the Russians shell them. Flood zones look placid but up close there is gasoline and toxic sewage. Russia’s depravity has no bottom since they never face…
