Haywire features perhaps my favorite cinematic brawl of all time.

Well that explains why they haven't made the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years. They won't be getting any Stanley Cups any time soon with all this music-making.

Does it feature any appearances by Will Forte's signature politician character Tim Calhoun? (His middle name is "Boo.")

Completing "Green Grass and High Tides" on expert mode in Rock Band.

5/31/16 MOVIE TRIVIA RECAP
A grad school friend of mine who I had been recruiting for a while made his trivia debut and came through by recognizing some Droog dialogue and correctly guessing that Broken Arrow was the movie featuring a nuclear explosion that was the one instance in which Ebert convinced Siskel to change…

I recorded it. I'm hoping for at least one bit as good as the Garmin Family.

Saw Apocalypse. Loved it.
Caught up on TV. Started Lady Dynamite. It's weird, but mostly good. I'll be watching more.

I've always thought Amy Adams looks more like Kristen Wiig than she does Isla Fisher.

I saw a couple of movies since the last time I wrote about movies here. I'm about to write about them.

Last weekend, I attended several panels at the Vulture Festival. I was at several of the same ones as @disqus_lpt5Yf28Le:disqus, so I'll try to discuss some different details.

Ah, Schwarzenegger, another one of my favorite comedic actors! How come he's never hosted SNL? He did a few cameos with Hans and Franz back in the day, but I want more!

No problem, The Rock already makes himself funny.

Yeah, and that's a big part of why I'm perfectly fine with its endings being stereotypical "things falling from the sky" brawls, because while they fit a pattern, at least they do not lack for imagination and vibrancy.

My review's coming soon, but I'll just say quickly I agree so enthusiastically about your praise points, and I also agree with your criticisms (but find them even more insignificant than you do).
