This about sums up my opinion as well. I loved the character dynamic between Sam and Bucky, I loved most of the acting, and I loved Isaiah’s story, but so much of the GRC and Flagsmasher stuff had me scratching my head. Not in that I didn’t understand it, but that I’m not even sure that they understood it, does that…

Yup, that’s how I felt. Lost my dad when I was 22. Sucker punched is exactly the feeling.

In the first Avengers movie, Tony challenges Steve to look beneath the surface instead of accepting that SHIELD had no ulterior motives, which caused him to look further into it and change his mind when he found evidence of the weapons being built. So there’s at least one example.

I loved Soul, and thought that it’s elegy to life was beautiful.

I am the last to know! I didn’t think the kiss was the worst thing in the world, Caviezel really sold it. Well, that and I’m a sucker for an unlikely pairing. Also, these comments are so amusing since I didn’t even know TPH was in this show until I started watching it, so interesting that this was kind of her start. I…

I went to the Eastman School of Music, so you can guess which of those is my fave....

I actually saw this in the theatre when it came out, and I didn’t realize it was on so few screens. Now I feel really lucky! One of my favorite movie going experiences, where everyone in the theatre was really into it and laughing a lot. I think the best part of it is how the riffing is often done as heightened…

“Industry. Science and Technology! Big men putting screw drivers into things! Turning them, and adjusting them!”

Funnily enough, this little nugget surfaced in my memory just the other day. As a very young child in the early 80s, I must have watched the disaster clunker “When Time Ran Out” on one of the cable channels. If you don’t know it, and why should you, it features an extended sequence of characters attempting to cross a…

Hey me too. And yeah, this sucks.

And if I were Sarah, I’d be pissed if I knew my brother was scaring him off from flirting with me. Like, real pissed.

Yep. I go and read that every so often when I need a lift. Think I’ll go do that right now!

I love this movie a lot, but most particularly that scene you specified, with the box of junk tossed on the table that they need to use to literally fit a square peg into a round hole. Problem solving at its best. Also, Ed Harris in a waistcoat. 

I loved this movie when I saw it, but then I have a soft spot for science fiction that’s not about the science, and for slow-moving emotional catharsis movies. I even contemplated naming my first daughter Rheya. Don’t really get why all the hate, but I imagine it was the volatile combination of film-types who love…

This movie is of course full of glorious swearing, but this is my favorite, and has become a family joke.

Rutherford Falls looks like a lot of fun, The Nevers could be either great or a train wreck (as a former Whedonite who like many has become, let’s say, disillusioned, this looks extremely Whedon-y), and as someone who has a lot of latent fondness for the Mosquito Coast because of my adolescent love of River Phoenix,…

I periodically check in on the volcano during the day, and yesterday when I was watching, someone lit off a bottle rocket or something (timestamp of around 20:45 March 25th). It was hilariously outmatched by the MOLTEN LAVA SPEWING OUT OF A CRACK IN THE EARTH. Just shows you that no amount of fire is enough fire for…

For Canadian folks, all the Miyazaki movies are on Netflix! 

Reminds me of Buffy having to make money since vampire slaying doesn’t actually pay. 

Oh that’s good to hear! I won’t cringe quite so much, then.
