Long as there’s a record deal they’ll always be friends.

Solo is a good juxtaposition. Take away all the stupid callbacks (gold dice! how did Solo get his name!) and it’s a terrific adventure movie. It’s more Indiana Jones than the last 2 Indiana Jones flicks. The execution of the action scenes, from the American Graffiti-style car chase to Han Solo shooting Tobias Beckett

bill paxton describing jamie lee curtis as having ‘an ass like a 10 year old boy’ remains the craziest thing in this movie.

CAMERON’S GREATEST FEAT HERE WAS MAKING TOM ARNOLD SEEM TO BE A LIKEABLE ACTOR WHO COULD CARRY PART OF A MOVIE. HE WAS LEGITIMATELY HILARIOUS IN THIS FILM.I HAVE SEEN HINTS IN RECENT YEARS THAT SUGGEST ARNOLD IS NOT AS AWFUL AS HE WAS TREATED FOR MANY YEARS, BUT HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO THEM FOR VERACITY.

There are people who think it’s not a good performance?

wait for the ‘gen alpha is killing streaming by not subscribing’ articles in a few years, that’ll be a real hoot.

The fact that the cast is not little people does not bug me to much as I think Gilliam only did it to emphasize the surreal dream like atmosphere of his movie. “Little people = surreal” can be seen as a problematic Hollywood trope anyways.

Crikey.

I have one customer at my job that posts her replies to my emails by replying—and CHANGING THE GODDAMN SUBJECT LINE TO HER ANSWER EVERY SINGLE TIME. Literally nothing new in the body.  Her answer is entirely the new subject line, but she leaves the RE:.  You want to talk about maniacs? That is some next-level shit

How about Airplane Mode? It’s a game where you are a passenger on an airliner and have to entertain yourself by watching movies on the in-flight entertainment system, listen to a podcast on your phone, or read a book or magazine. I’ve never played it on a flight but it would seem wonderfully meta if I did.

I liked Temple of Doom more than Last Crusade when I was a kid, but within a few years I started to like Last Crusade more, to the point that it’s actually the Indy movie I enjoy watching the most. (I’m not going to say it’s “better” than Raiders, mainly because saying one piece of art is “better” than another is

I think it’s premature to say that Dakota Johnson gets a boost from her willingness to distance herself from the bad projects she’s in. Johnson had big roles in three prominent-ish movies in 2018 (Fifty Shades Freed, Suspiria, and Bad Times at the El Royale). She did not then have anything nearly so prominent until

Sure, it’s clearly a sequel to and related to the first one, but there’s something sort of ridiculous about the name “Gladiator 2" (even if it’s dressed up as “II”). Surely there’s something better or at least less silly out there.

There were no flops in 1899.

It’s Rabin! Now bring back Sean O’Neil, Tasha Robinson, and Zodiac Motherfucker!

Good god! They really are reviving the old A.V. Club, aren’t they? What’s next? A takedown review by Ignatiy? The long-prophesied return of Snarkmaster General Sean O’Neal himself?!

Was it? If they didn’t make another movie, this would have been a great finale to Miles’ story.
