The fundamental problem as I see it is that fervent Republicans and Trump voters consume media that tells them he's doing great (because the mainstream press is evil) and that what liberals are for and what he's against are destroying the country.

Then we'd have a reality very close to the Handmaid's Tale. What the fuck?!!! when a man refuses to have any meeting with another woman if his wife isn't there. That is seriously fucking scary.

Ha! You must be very young. Trust me, you get a bit older, your appreciation for older-than-you women goes up (as well as another thing).

This much hotness will burn the film!

Why are bank heists the symbol of energy and virility in Hollywood movies? Why can't these old geezers just sleep with a lot of women?

I finally saw the movie this week. Not as bad as I was expecting. Grade: C. Batman's motivation for being more violent was more subtext you had to piece together than text, but he only machine gunned people in his dream so I thought he didn't really change in character except at the end when he, like the rest of the…

Yeah, I didn't know why they didn't arrest the protestors disrupting the show but did arrest the protestors standing outside the bakery. Which, aren't you allowed to do? Unless everyone threw a drink at the guy's face, which should be a more serious charge than what Sol and the others were arrested for.

I saw the ad, and wow, is it stupid. Still I maintain that in a 20 minute format for news, there ought to be more important things covered.

Just The Ten of Us Classic.

Did she capitalize it? I don't remember.

I didn't see the Kylie Jenner-Pepsi ad (though the NBC Nightly News covering the controversy was sadly typical of that genre's atrocious back half). But tell me this Universal Studios spot for their "Neighbor Pass" isn't a subtle slam against Trump and a statement of principles? Or maybe I'm reaching.

All week the LA Times has been running editorials against how non-normative awful Trump is as president. This one, on how he constantly lies and on the vital importance of facts, is magnificent.

Nothing against 1, but I'm wondering how she suddenly became a thing. I just know her as having lethal ice skates for legs from Kingsman, and now she's a Mummy and Charlize Theron's lover. Good gigs if you can get them.

Wasn't Abigail wrong on FJ, actually, as the clue called for the name of an NBA team, and not just the name of the animal? Abigail wrote "What is a raptor?" which shouldn't have been accepted because she also needed the city, which she may not have known else she would have written it, I'm thinking (plus her low…

The show has a nice mix of tones and comedy, except for this: emotionally acute dialogue and story lines mix with pure corn and shmaltz. I didn't need to see Grace expressing her love of Frankie, because she had already expressed that throughout in earlier episodes. As for their respective boyfriends,…

By this Friday, his beard will provide the rich coat for his feet to walk on.

Great review nicely explicating the great direction by Emmerich. Why, yes, this series is like a play in that dialogue and the pauses in the dialogue and what doesn't get said all matter very much. Fantastic work by Rhys and Russell as usual, but I also loved Langella in the park. I thought Phillip's later disguise…

Yeah, Ford filming Midway and Capra feeling defeatist about his project after watching Riefenstahl's were very interesting. I started to watch Triumph of the Will years ago, but quickly stopped because I thought a film about a parade would be boring, even though I knew her camerawork and compositions were innovative…

Like they periodically do with the Statue of Liberty, I have to work on my jokes ;)

It wouldn't have made sense storywise, but I thought they could have set up how Caesar becomes the dictator to this human-less new world with it, and ended the movie on a ruthless note. Also Will wasn't much of a protagonist; not only bland but he did make very dumb decisions getting the film started that he maybe…
