That is a weird-ass note at the end of the review.

It’s kind of mind-boggling that Brockmire is as good and emotionally resonant as it is.

For the 10,000th time, no one cares that Scorsese doesn’t like Marvel movies. If he had said, “I tried, but I don’t like them - they don’t speak to me at all,” it would have been a story for about seven minutes and we would have moved on to whatever racist nonsense Trump had just tweeted.

Lisey’s Story is such an interesting, weird novel. I don’t think it entirely works (the protagonist is a less interesting character than her dead husband, which is probably understandable considering that the dead husband is basically Stephen King), but it was a fascinating experiment.

Yeah, I have no interest in stanning for Love, Actually, but isn’t the point of that scene that Andrew Lincoln is saying this thing he’s been holding inside for months because he needs to get it out in order to move on? Aside from the “Enough. Enough now.” line, there’s also the famous “Without hope or agenda.” The…

I’d be kind of interested to see someone make a Batman movie where Gotham City isn’t portrayed as a brutal hellhole. This idea of Gotham as a den of sin and inequity got its start during a time in American history when urban decay was the dominant narrative - the New York of the 70's, the race riots of the 60's, etc.…

Hey, if they want to just wipe Dawn of Justice from the history books, that would be fine. 

Wasn’t the point of Wonder Woman’s arc that she was disillusioned by the events in her own movie and withdrew from heroics to live a life of glamour, only to be drawn to action in Dawn of Justice and inspired to continue by Superman’s sacrifice?

I’ve been binge-watching Greek, actually, after trying to watch it and falling away during its original run. It’s...not a particularly good show, but Grammer and Amber Wilson are luminously fun.

He got to make an attractive young actress pretend to be impressed by his penis while he laid around and did nothing? That certainly sounds like a Steven Seagal joint. 

I hope I remember to see this when it comes out in two damn months in my little Colorado college town.

Between this movie and that one episode of Friends, the 90's were a boom time for “woman falls in love with man in coma” stories.

I was not expecting to see Gwendoline Christie in this.

This seems like Naomi Watts Acts At You For An Hour and a Half.

I really, really liked Endgame - not quite as much as Infinity War, but it’s a damn good movie. Using the AV Club grading scale, I’d probably give it a B+, with Infinity War an A-.

That’s basically the Peloton brand. All Peloton commercials take place in either million-dollar houses surrounded by picturesque forests or in a downtown penthouse apartment with pristine hardwood floors and a stunning view of the city. 

I really enjoyed You. A little soapy and over the top at points - everyone and everything feels like the most extreme possible version of themselves. But I thought the first season did a really good job interrogating an audience’s instinctual sympathy for a protagonist, especially when the protagonist is a cute,…

MST3K being MST3K, I assume there’ll be another revival on another streaming site in five years or so. And during those five years the various MST3K people will do a thousand different things that can be summarized as Functionally Mystery Science Theater 3000, But Not Technically Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Your point is that if I sit down to eat a simple but excellently crafted pastrami sandwich at a deli that makes them just like the sandwiches I loved as a kid, I’m only liking the sandwich I’m currently eating because it reminds me of my childhood sandwich. Yes I can see the nostalgia appeal, but also no because it’s…

I should preface this by saying that I really like Fury Road. I’m a fan of it.
