“...we are connected to it constantly, and we hate it.”

The Graham Norton approach to interviews.

It’s not better that Do The Right Thing, but I have spot for Field of Dreams in 1989.

Let’s be honest. All news-networks and mainstream political parties defend the rich.

Ex and I were out to dinner at a super popular restaurant and they had to be breaking fire code by how close the tables were. I was eating my dessert and the woman next to me simply turned in her seat, put her hand on my arm and asked which dessert I had ordered. THIS IS TOO CLOSE!

Finally an instance when shooting video in portrait rather than landscape is apropos.

You’re not the only one who didn’t know where Wallace was at.

That’s funny, here are two different articles from the AVC produced in the past 6 months about how useless RottenTomatoes is as a scoring mechanism:

I don’t think he’s restless. I just think he has a strong vision for his projects and he’s not going to compromise. Nothing wrong with that, but if he keeps it up he’s going to start having a hard time getting anything off the ground. It’s always a disappointment when he leaves because I’ve liked everything he’s done.

I read the book for the first time last year. I tried to watch the Lynch version afterwards. I made it about 20 minutes before turning it off in agony. Unwatchable.

I haven’t heard this album yet but in the reviews I’ve been reading for it I’ve seen a lot of reviewers slagging on The 20/20 Experience albums. I get it with part 2 (it was OK), but Part 1 was solid all the way through (and, if I remember correctly, well received at the time; I’m too lazy to look it up). Songs were…

But Abrams clearly cared about Rey’s birth

This really needs to be on HBO as “Game of Thrones in Space”.

I hope Dune is good. The thing with both Arrival and Blade Runner is that they both had a dreamlike feel to them. The dialogue was sparse, and much of the world-building happened in the mise en scene, or in the things not said. For a world close to ours, like Arrival, or for one that’s not too hard to imagine, like…

I have no idea why anyone would compare the Trump and Nixon administrations, beyond a staggering (nearly Trumpian) lack of familiarity with American history beyond “Nixon bad! Democrats good!”

If HBOs Rome taught me anything, it’s that Roman religious rites and celebrations mean wearing fancy clothes with being drenched in cow blood. No thank you.

No wishes for a wild Saturnalia? This site’s bias against ancient Romans continues unabated, I see.

I really like the way you and squirtloaf put it, and I’ve never thought of your point before. Excluding tertiary characters, every one represents a legitimate personality type or societal archetype, and they play off of each other well. Ridley and, unfortunately, Isaac do nothing for me. More important than that,…

I agree on the old people thing...and I agree that in general the new actors are better than the old ones...BUT...

The old ones had one thing the new ones don’t have, and that’s charisma. Han worked not because of Ford’s acting, but because he radiated a devilish charm in a way that OScar Isaac just doesn’t...which is…
