Thanks for chiming in, Pudding Pop.

If Cohen had screamed on-air that Jonathan Cain and his wife are national security threats rather than virtually fellating Steve Perry, it would have been a more worthwhile rant.

The Twistening

Just got around to watching it, and I’d give it an AVClub A+, personally.

The CW has the only really good Superman right now in Superman & Lois - heaven knows how long that’ll last.

Watching it, the only thing I could think of was, “The Rock has a contract rider that says he can never lose a fight onscreen.” 

I take your cellphone viewing and raise it to “edited in-flight movie viewing.”

This site doesn’t have editors anymore.

She was so, so good on Parks. Even in a show full of standout bit-part players, she stood out as Ethel Beavers.

My point was that Andor is so much better than anything Star Wars has done since the original movies that The Bad Batch now looks disappointing in comparison. I think I actually physically cringed when the little Jedi Wookiee showed up.

I think I’d have been more excited for this before I saw Andor.

Problem is, to recapture the original scene’s comic timing and, indeed, raison d’etre, you’d have to give Harrison Ford another uncontrollable case of the shits, which on the one hand would be fairly easy given his age, but on the other you don’t want to toy with his health like that.

I shudder to think of what other “stirring correctives” to actual history that this reviewer would like to see in film.

Electing Donald Trump was the end of the American era. COVID just sealed the deal irrevocably.

I CALLED IT I CALLED IT I CALLED IT

Totally performative for clicks. They’re back at it again.

Don’t forget Margaret Hamilton, whose green makeup caught fire during that scene early on where the Wicked Witch vanishes in a fireball in Munchkinland. Went down through the trap door and her cape caught fire, and the copper in her makeup caused second- and third-degree burns on her face and hands.
