I saw this at a Cinemark secret movie screening, where you pay $5 without knowing what you’re going to see. So, I hadn’t seen any trailers for this, or read anything about it. It’s a pretty likeable movie, so I wanted to enjoy it more than I did. But it’s pretty disjointed and doesn’t do a great job making the stakes…

wtf is the spanfeller era lol

I react to the character the way I’d react to a real-life person who spent 90% of their time screaming at people, getting off on self-pity, and/or setting passive-aggressive traps for their “friends” and family members. Maybe that makes it an amazing performance. But it also makes it feel like the show is letting…

The Firm has some great dialogue.

The Exorcist: Golden Receiver

It seems like they paid $400 million for the right to market generic possession/exorcism movies using the Exorcist name, music, surviving cast, etc. Which I think is a massive misunderstanding of The Exorcist. It’s a great horror movie, but a lot of the things that make it great also make it bad source material for…

“I say we take off and exorcise the entire site from orbit--it’s the only way to be sure.”

Yeah, I forgot about that. I figure we can address it by releasing a Definitive Special Edition of Knives Out that includes a bunch of ADR’d lines where characters remark upon Lieutenant Elliott’s striking resemblance to legendary running back Walter Payton.

Facing off against Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc will be Glen Powell as Jim McMahon, LaKeith Stanfield as Walter Payton, and Karl Urban as Mike Ditka.

Thanks!

Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey: A Knives Out Mystery

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine an iPad smashing in a human face— forever.”

I also saw this at a preview this week (a “you don’t know what movie you’re seeing until it starts” thing, which was fun). I think I liked it more than you did. But I was thinking of the same movies as you (Deadpool, Hunger Games, Kill Bill) as I was watching it, because it wasn’t very engaging. That’s a problem for a…

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Cuatromania

“Let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. According to this morning’s sample, it would be a Twinkie 3.9 inches tall, weighing approximately 1.4 ounces.”

They had to cut the cold open in which Jamie Lee Curtis lured all the children into the oven and incinerated them.

What if they were doing an exorcism on a shark?

Mike Colter is Michael Oher

Zuckerberg is under 40 and at the very least pretends to care about his physical fitness. That’s more than enough to make him the clear favorite in a fight with a paunchy and bloated 52-year-old man.
