Eh. I can see this, but I also kind of see Logan as the guy who’s always saying, “Come on, take a shot at me, I love a good fight,” and then he fires the person who tries to gently rib him. 

I loved Tom’s little wind-up speech to Logan before asking, essentially, if it’s OK for Tom to divorce his daughter. Very real, in an enjoyable sense — Tom isn’t really being inarticulate, and you can follow everything he’s saying and understand why he’s saying it, but the constant hedging and ass-covering and

I picture Kendall as the guy who actually does try really hard to please his partner, but he’s not very good at it, and when she doesn’t have an orgasm he blames her. 

The obvious move here would be to finally give Joe his comeuppance in the last episode, but I would honestly respect the cynicism and nihilism of having Joe escape the noose one last time and ending the series showing him gleefully going about his murder business for years and years to come.

I went into a bookstore a few years ago and asked the lady at the front desk if they had a copy of You. She turned toward her computer, paused, then looked back at me and said, “Yeah, I’m going to need an author or something, because if I just type in ‘You’ I’m going to get about a million hits.”

I was not expecting to enjoy a show about freaking Hawkeye so much, but here we are.

I’m not entirely sure they need to dress Rupert up like an Imperial officer from Star Wars. He’s the villain, we get it.

There’s a fun dynamic where Macfadyen’s accent will occasionally slip, but it oddly works for the character, since Tom is kind of like an artificial intelligence that’s pretending to be a human male with about a 90-95 percent success rate. 

I felt the same way about the caricature of the rich people friend group. I don’t have much interest in defending the super wealthy, but I don’t imagine they often just stand up in the middle of the room and go back and forth like:

Have to say, now that Charlie is being hunted by the mafia...maybe taking that FBI job is a good idea?

I was fairly disappointed with the first batch of episodes, which I thought really lost the plot — I don’t really understand why Joe Goldberg is involved in some whodunnit murder mystery among the London elite. It kind of feels like the show has forgotten that Joe is a loathsome murderer, to the extent that there were

Galileo (Nick Kroll) appears as a Renaissance Try Guy between sketches on TicciTocci

He and Lily Allen, apparently, which was a fun celebrity couple I had no idea existed until a few weeks ago. 

Ford v. Ferrari had fast cars driving fast, which has a very clear and understandable appeal.

Air seems like such a weird idea for a movie. “Hey, want to see a movie about a sneaker company signing a basketball player to an endorsement contract?” “Hell yeah! $13 tickets here I come!”

Quite good. Arguably a bit overstuffed — the movie tries to fit in arcs for all six main characters, with varying degrees of success, and it might have benefited from being a bit more focused in that regard. But it has my wholehearted recommendation.

I was going to bring up Blockers, but in the context of asking if it qualifies as a high school movie. I would say yes, if only because I’m always inclined to be generous in these silly genre exercises, but you could very reasonably argue that the movie is far more about the parents than it is the kids.

“I spoke to Adil and Bilall—the directors—last week, we were chatting. We’d love to be in business with all those folks. Christina Hodson wrote it. Some people are already back in business with us,” Safran said. “As I said, a lot of talented people were involved, but the film just was not releasable.”

Jonah Hill is looking rather grizzled these days.

It got cancelled, but Adult Swim is letting them do a movie to wrap up everything.
