He TRIED to eat the moon? Dude. Do. Never try.

I was disappointed that the movie dropped the game’s premise of the monsters being mutated humans who, when defeated, shrink down to embarrassed nude humans. It feels like there might have been a nod to that in an earlier draft— the bit where the villain shoots Dwayne in the gut seems way over the top unless they…

There’s also Billy Connolly.

The real takeaway here is that when it comes to jokes, delivery is more important than writing. Find the right rhythm for a punchline and anything sounds funny. Or more to the point, if it SOUNDS like a joke, SOMEONE will laugh.

To be fair, nobody’s better at being that than Miranda July.

Not going back to check but I think I’ve seen exactly two films out of both lists combined. My favorite new releases for this year:

He’s never done a PTA movie either.

Sounds more to me like Abel Ferrara’s Ms.45.

No “Whenever You’re Ready,” the Good Place finale? I call BS.

If I recall correctly, it’s an acronym for “I, Internet Royalty, Concur.”

What was the Chinese version of the joke then?

I had the same suspicion. This is nothing by comparison.

Agreed. Jackson’s SNL work was not reflective of the horrible politics she would later become known for.

That second number was Country Song Mad Libs.

I lose track. “Stargirl” isn’t Arrowverse, is it? Because they teased the Power Battery pretty hard in the first season.

The film isn’t about the actual making of KANE at all. John Houseman appears, but no mention of Gregg Toland, Robert Wise, Bernard Herrmann, Linwood Dunn, or Maurice Seiderman, and no sign of the Mercury Players either.

I enjoyed this, mainly thanks to the performances. It does feel like there were some cuts to Act I— the ‘secret admirer’ poem isn’t sufficiently set up, and the shop teacher’s pure hatred for Millie seems unmotivated.

So, no cartoon?

“It was clearly the picture that George Lucas wanted to make, one that was utterly unencumbered by ... budgetary restraint”

I can’t think of any moment more Herzogian than when he asks a marine biologist if we evolved into land animals “in order to escape the terrors of the ocean.”
