Hey, remember when lying about an affair with an intern was the standard for an impeachable offense?

I don't have twitter either, but I bookmarked Caroline's feed because she's great, and that picture made me smile this morning.

Is your Siri voice set to "David," by any chance?

One of my friends who is definitely in the cult texted me glowing about the Homepod. "It has 7 indepedent tweeters! And one dedicated woofer!" "It controls sound with a microphone!" "It'll replace my home stereo!"

I would be un-surprised to hear that he wasn't actually on set for any of that and it was a wholly digital creation. Really rough CGI. Put the person in a costume and roll film. Gadot looked great in action the whole movie.

I hereby bestow you this gift of getting it stuck in your head for the rest of Monday afternoon. It's definitely helping me get through. All of the music for First Avenger is pretty great. It's one of the few very distinctive scores to come out of the MCU.

It's the only way (it's the only way)
The only way, the only way to get back to you. And you! And you and you and you!

Half of Diana's dialogue: "I have to kill Ares and it will fix everything!"

Damn it. You did it first and better.

Godfather IV: Les Cousins Dangereux

I can't think of anything I care about seeing less than a movie that attempts to humanize, explain, or excuse Paterno's complicity in Sandusky's decades of disgusting abuse.

I think First Avenger was somewhat forgotten when it came out, but has benefited tremendously in hindsight. insofar as Iron Man got the ball rolling, First Avenger really set the stage for what the MCU would stand for. It has aged really well and it's supported by some great performances in an astonishingly stacked…

While I'll concede that Civil War functions in large part as a "moving the pieces" team up, I maintain that Winter Soldier is the top dog of the MCU, because, if you strip out all the super hero stuff, it still functions perfectly as a tight, completely self-contained '70s style spy thriller.

Moana, in fact, basically did everything at every opportunity to ignore what was expected of her. Except for Grandma, who was just telling her to do what she wanted and felt was right, so not sure how much that counts.

I surmise you have either not watched those movies or did and paid them only the most cursory of attention.

The Steve Trevor flashback of something that literally just happened was right out of the Guy Ritchie playbook, and that's far from a consistent winner when he does it. Totally bizarre editing choice at that point in the movie.

He's claiming they own the rights to this production, not to the notion of a Don Quixote movie. I know this because I looked it up, because I had exactly the same knee-jerk response.

As an also-haver of two cats, I approve.

Given that the next line is "I killed your baby today," I think we can be very confident it's not.
