You're going to make Soderbergh re-retire with talk like that.

(I'm not even going to pretend this isn't directed at SBT at this point, btw.)

Yes, if you're even a fairweather fan of Soderbergh/Chan-fried Po-Taters/Joe Manganiello/Jada Pinkett Smith, you really should see this movie by now.

Here's your reminder to watch Magic Mike XXL if you want the most potent dose of Donald Glover magic possible.

I had the same reaction, being moved and then surprised by how few people noticed it, to Michael Shannon's eyes at the end of Midnight Special.

Ooh, my chance to defend Scoop may come once again!

I haven't seen Veep (and that's one of my less objectionable TV blind spots), so I only know him from how wonderfully square-jawed he is in Inherent Vice.

I predict that these comments are going to be absolutely awful (if the Mistress America comments are anything to go by), so I'll just say that I love Baumbach (even/especially Margot at the Wedding), I love Gerwig (I even sat through the entirety of Lola Versus, basically Frances Ha for stupid people, for her), and I

I'll be seeing Ali on Monday, having really liked it on first viewing. I'm very excited.
