On the other hand, those of us that thought the last movie was bollocks are happy that the critics are telling me it’s more of the same, so I don’t waste my time or money on it.

Oddly, the timing of this episode was perfect, as I had my own commencement this week. I would have rather had any of these speeches than the ones I got.

I went (in IMAX no less) despite “World” being the only JP sequel I’ve enjoyed. For all the cynicism about deploying nostalgia in entertainment, I can’t lie, they talked me into the building with the law firm of Dern, Neill, and Goldblum. To that end — and thankfully they make up half the movie — those three…

I’d also love to know how a mosquito bites an animal that lives in the middle of the fucking ocean.

I have long since accepted people are dumb.  How anyone can have watched the last Jurassic World and wanted more is beyond me.  But have at it hoss!  You want big dumb dinosaurs, enjoy.

I’m going to sound like an absolute dickhole for saying this, and so I want to apologize up front.  Nobody cares what the critics have to say about Jurassic Park.  As long as it has bigass dinosaurs punishing rich hubris, people will see it because that’s what people expect to see.  Let’s be real, the only JP that got…

Yeah, I don’t think there’s been any actual critiquing from the judges for years now (we miss you Santino is a sentence I never thought I’d say, but here we are) after maybe the first few episodes, when there are queens who…let’s be kind and say “clearly aren’t going to win”. Every runway for several seasons now has…

Treating this like any other competitive season of Drag Race misses the point. Yes, someone will ultimately win the big check. But this many episodes in, it’s abundantly clear this is a showcase season more than anything else. It’s a chance for us to watch this totally delightful group of true superstars not only do…

I thought this was a solid B.

I thought Monet’s veil/cage concept was asking “how big can you make the holes in a veil and still call it a veil?”

I agree, even if some of the looks didn’t completely fit the category or used the veil as a throwaway piece, like Monet. But Raja’s was particularly clever in the way that her veil obscured the word “voile” to make it appear as if the cover could actually be read as “Vogue”. How clever! 

Okay, this morning’s better theory: the judges are tired of relentless online attacks and have turned to offering cheap platitudes (irresistible to the ravenous, howling hordes except on an intellectual basis) instead of thoughtful, reasoned feedback, because it’s difficult for the kids to destroy someone —who’s sin…

C-?! While this is not the best of the season thus far, it’s still head and shoulders above the average episode from the last few seasons- and easily the best improv challenge we’ve seen in a while.

Based on outfits alone, it feels like The Vivienne is going to win.

Contestants on reality shows need to hear constructive criticism in order to get better. Also it’s real boring for the home audience to hear nothing but compliments. These queens are pros they should be able to take it. 

I rewatched season 7 during lockdown, and honestly? It’s not as bad as it I remembered it being when it aired. I do think Shakesqueer is hands-down the worst challenge ever on the show- seemingly designed to ensure that nobody could succeed- but overall the season is buoyed by a great group of queens. And, unlike the…

This was a joy to watch. (This review is dour and try-hardy tho.) Even Jaida had moments that made me lol. The interactions between the queens are fun and snappy and it’s nice to witness the kind of bonds that we know come from history instead of forced “Rupauls Best Friend Race” type stuff. These queens KNOW each…

Agreed, she was hilarious! But it feels like a short-cut compared to being an actual person. Trinity gets slightly less flack for that from me because Leslie Jordan was a more direct impersonation. 

What I wouldn’t give to watch Jinkx’s Judy and Alexis Michelle’s Liza do a show together.

  It might make more sense if there was some sort of relation between the two characters or maybe if the contestants had to re-impersonate a former Snatch Game character as well as a new character. The decision to make everyone play two almost feels like producers couldn’t decide which performance they wanted from…
