I rewatch the 3D Blu with surprising regularity. I always think I’m just going to watch until the first cut but I always get sucked in. It helps that it’s not that long.

I know that “funniest Ridley Scott film” isn’t a high bar but still, c’mon people. THE MARTIAN delivers the goods.

Greta Gerwig has gotten a lot of love on both lists, but I still like MAGGIE’S PLAN the best, if only for Julianne Moore’s delightful comic turn.

If it’s in a word

The best superhero movie of the decade, and the best one directed by James Gunn no less, was SUPER.

So, the supergun was sabotaged so that it wouldn’t kill “Batwoman” and Julia lives to be a recurring character. Fine, except that that fall out of a fourth-story window onto concrete probably should have finished her off.

I couldn’t help but notice that the expensiveness of the Fortress sequences left Alex and Brainy nowhere to go but increasingly cheap Vancouver locations.

I always saw Morris as the David Lynch of documentarians.

And edited. Thank you!

The fans are upset at Marty because they thought he’d be flattered at how JOKER stole from his classics.

The late great Barbara Harris deserves better than to have her name gotten completely wrong. Fix that pronto, please.

The movie omitted everything that would freak out the Catholics. That was my problem with it, anyway.

(a) More mature themes, and more graphic violence, arise in “The Subtle Knife.’ Should be fine for age 12 though.

When reading the book, I envisioned Kevin Bacon.

As I recall, early 80s fashion still had a disco influence. The Reaganite preppie thing was only just starting to take hold.

Baldwin/Trump’s “They don’t care when I do it” was fairly subversive.

Chloe Fineman was also looking fine, man. Although everyone’s clothes and styling seemed more like 1982 than 1978.

As noted above, Vicki-as-Michael literally missed the spotlight when she stepped onto the stage at DemonCon.

I never tired of McIver (or Goodwin)‘s acting. But somewhere along the way the show stopped using the ‘brains’ to illustrate Liv’s personal journey. Sort of how ‘metaphor problems’ affected Buffy around season 4 or 5.

Season 5 flails just as much, if not more. The principal cast never give up, though.
