Why would you?!?

I don’t have a point of reference for other bar/theater places, but there are two Alamo Drafthouses within a 30-minute drive of where I live (and one more by the end of the year), and I enjoy the smaller theater size, the mandatory quiet for a regular showing, and the food isn’t bad.

Sam Rockwell and Gary Shandling were great in this; that AC/DC-heavy sequence of Iron Man jumping out of a plane into battle a convention center was pretty good (why does Iron Man need a plane?); and the battle with a bunch of combat-bots was noisy fun. However, Mickey Rourke was acting in a totally different movie…

“I know gun-fu.” “Show me.”

Big, dumbgoofy, fun. With a heart. And a nice third act swerve.

Saw Shazam! today; liked it quite a bit.

OG BSG used “frack” in 1978.

I’m not sure there’s any one scene that’s as good as Diana going for it in no-man’s-land, but the ending of Shazam! is better than every DCEU movie except maybe Aquaman, and there’s a difference in the scale of stakes there that makes it hard to compare. Much, much better than Suicide Squad, which solves everything by…

I saw it today as well; while I liked how it handled both the ‘origin story’ and ‘hero has to understand his powers’ portion of the program, the hero has a genuine emotional growth arc. Billy’s search for family has some heartbreaking moments, and his decisions at the end are well done.

“I knew this day would come. I’m out of here.” He’ll always be valedictorian in my heart, even if he did serve with the North Koreans in the war.

Sure, but I know for a fact that six drinks in I’d hit on Angua or Susan, and I don’t need that kind of ass-whuppin’.

Are we not using “phrasing” anymore?

Because “No thanks, man, hit me up for a pic some other time” would just be too difficult.

Captain Marvel, twice (I dug it, both times, B) and my niece’s hula recital (lacking in Stan Lee, B-).

Band of Brothers was and is so good, but I have trouble revisiting it, since i remember watching episodes 1 and 2 on September 9th, everyone in my unit talking about how good they were on the 10th, and then not having anything resembling normalcy (due to base security, deployment prep, etc.) for months.

I very, very, very much want to see Jay comment on Black Widow’s ass and get electrocuted by her “widow bite”. And he’ll like it.

Let me know when there’s an episode guest starring Damon Herriman (Dewey Crowe); I will watch the hell out of that.

Bad Boys was enjoyable, given all the “Bay-’splosions”; Bad Boys II was garbage. Maybe this one will up the average, but I’m just going to pretend that “Mike Lowery” is a cover alias for a long job Deadshot is doing.

That non-bacon burger anecdote is heartbreaking, and the coward who crossed out “bacon” only did so because Drew wasn’t mobile. I mean where’s the thought process in that? Bacon is well known for its restorative powers.
