It’s a reflection of just how iconic Henry Winkler has become that even without watching the video I can hear in my head exactly how he says “I’m Steve Waldman. I’ve just been fired.”

I think the finale was a relative weak spot for the show, in that all of the clever meta/parody trappings were stripped away and too much of it was spent on another generic superhero CGI laser fest.

I guess I’ll cop to crying my eyes out at the ending of Avengers: Endgame no matter how many times I watch it. From the end of the big battle to the final credits, it’s pretty much just endless tears.

“Now playing everywhere, forever.”

It’s consistently amusing—and thanks to the largely chaste nature of Todd’s adoration, never too creepy, either.

I wonder if the next iteration of the “It’s Groundhog Dog, but” genre is a movie where the main character has to learn to be a total asshole to break the loop. Nice guy, salt of the Earth, friend to all living things, keeps going through the same day where he’s repeatedly stepped on and beaten down by life, and the…

Look, Jonathan Tucker, I appreciate your ambition, but you are not a leading man. You need to spend your career playing creepy murder weirdoes. I’m sorry, I know that sounds unfair, but those are the rules. 

I’m enjoying WandaVision, but no one at Disney+ strained any brain cells coming up with the titles for these Marvel shows, did they?

This is a great review. “More themes than a sorority calendar” is a wonderful line.

You’ll love my new script “Snowflake,” which is a deep dive into the fascinating geometry and physics of snowflakes. 

The show’s on a nice little run with this string of consecutive episodes. Nothing extraordinary, no all-time classics, but they’ve been consistently amusing without any real clunkers. 

So both ends of the Steve Rogers special effects timeline, huh?

This should be set in all those towns outside of Philadelphia that were settled by the Welsh and have ridiculous Welsh names, like “Bala Cynwyd.”

I’m not a big celebrity gossip person, but it’s fun to occasionally stumble across celebrity couples I had never heard of before. Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater! That’s fun.

The funny thing, at least for me, was that I was never a big Star Wars guy, but I thought The Fall of Anakin Skywalker was a great idea and had amazing potential. Admittedly, it’s an old story (old-school Greek tragedy stuff, basically), but it’s old because it’s really compelling: the brilliant, talented, charismatic…

Didn’t Aster say after Midsommar that he was looking to make a comedy? Or whatever the Ari Aster version of a comedy would look like?

This does let me think for a second about Scream Queens, which was deliriously stupid in the most enjoyable possible way. 

Emma Stone is wonderful, but I’m always wary when the conversation about a movie focuses on how much fun the lead actor has playing their role. That seems like a barely coded way of saying, “There’s nothing else going on here.”

Yeah, I remember the trailer last year. COVID-related theatrical issues, maybe?

The funny thing is it sounds like there’s a moderately interesting premise here. A NASCAR pit crew is, if nothing else, a unique setting for a workplace sitcom, and there are some potentially interesting stories to be told about a new boss coming in to a setting like that and trying to modernize in the face of a bunch…
