I have been dutifully watching every Popcorn Champ movie that I had never seen before, sometimes suffering through them (Independence Day, Top Gun), telling myself that I was doing my cultural duty, other times grateful to be introduced to a gem. I hadn’t seen the first Pirates movie, so there were sure to be in-jokes…

Okay - there are gay colors, trans colors - now there’s bisexual colors??

Aunt Paula? Kwill?

She looks pretty good for 50.

I believe it’s Children of the Watch - a kind of descendant faction of Death Watch. People in and out of the show sometimes call it a cult but I’m not sure that’s an accurate designation. “Religion” and “way of life” often have blurred lines.

Being bereft of my usual sci-fi series(es) since the seasons ended I gave this one a try. Glad you explained about George Jones because I totally did not get what was going on with him. I enjoyed Riann Steele but the British connection appeared to be there solely so that she could star in the show. Will they ever get…

It goes without saying that this past year has been bizarrely unusual for movie-watching. I am sure that if theatres had been open in their normal fashion I would have seen a couple of the nominees at least. This past year was also the first time I’ve had what used to be called Pay-TV, e.g. Disney+, Amazon Prime, HBO.…

The most delightful thing about Mars to me is that it has sunshine. It looks like a real place! Well, it is one, even if you can’t walk around in your T-shirt. Superb job, NASA.

19th-century root cellar?

Now I have to know - which one was deleted from the line-up?

My friends and I watched this on TV when we were in high schol, and one of them insisted that Norman shouldn’t be locked up because *he* didn’t kill those people, it was his mother - as if he were literally being possessed.

Let’s make it clear: her character does not be to re-cast, but replaced. Bill Burr would be fun, but really, other possibilities for a female fighter do exist. We know full well that the galaxy contains more than one woman warrior.

I’ve been watching “Turn: Washington’s Spies” (i.e. George Washington), which is very well done and makes a point of bringing out the human cost of deception, but I’m having a heck of a time distinguishing among Benedict Arnold, John Andre, and a revolutionary officer named Talmadge (or Talbot?). They all have…

I’m sure I’m the only person I know who read the book before eve seeing the movie.

I’m not crazy about people losing their jobs merely because they hold abhorrent, ludicrous views (the rioters will lose their jobs soon enough when they go to jail), but there is no arguing that for people in the public eye the rules are different. If she worked at a Pizza Hut in Greenville nobody, including Pizza Hut…

Fans know that he has several siblings and I mentioned which one was being discussed. My comment contained nothing negative.

I was making a distinction between Lux and the older sister Javiera.

Lux was formerly Lucas and was just as beautiful as a man. Hope all goes well.

There are many ways to wear natural hair, and she hasn’t said anything indicating that she didn’t choose to wear her hair this way.

Well, it was for me. “Ha ha, look at the stupid thoughtless things guys used to do” doesn’t make it actually amusing. The creators of Mad Men knew better than that.
