Pearl blowing off her dad’s head with a shotgun, despite the police helicopter telling her to drop the gun multiple times, and her not only skipping prison for murder but going on to be a star, is this whole trilogy in a nutshell: We COULD have done the necessary work to make things make sense, but then it wouldn’t…

I have to imagine you get something out of this, sort of like those sad street preachers who spend 8 sweltering hours a day rambling shards of gospel into a megaphone. It’s kind of a shame you’re getting more attention than they do, since you both deserve the same amount.

But is this movie good on edibles?

Yeah, that motif never really tracked for me either. Unless it’s a play on “turning that frown upside-down.” Otherwise it kinda screams “Huh, well that drone shot is kinda boring now that it’s so obviously cheap to get, what if we just rotated it in the edit bay?”

I got this one: Actors are emotionally vulnerable and the ones who do the most press by far - so rather than turn them off of doing an interview somewhere down the road, it costs bloggers nothing to shit on the grubby, non-clickworthy writers and directors instead.

Wow, sounds like another humongous month of flops!

I have a feeling they *know* they’re on the downside of their career, but it was just a roll of the dice as to whether there was enough residual goodwill from aging Millennials who remembered when they were big. Every now and then, an act like that can come back into the public consciousness and make their old fanbase…

Genuinely thought Drake’s songs were going to get played in clubs, and his fans would get to dine out on that even if Kendrick bodied him lyrically. Instead, we get both. Incredible month.

Inadvertently one of the few good things that came out of Trump’s presidency. I’m not saying he saw it for what it was (a smug, back-patting insider fuckfest that actively degrades the integrity of journalism), he was definitely just afraid of getting dunked on. But still, the cancelling was a good thing.

Yeah he really strikes me as the sort who is high on his own supply, but the supply is pretty good. I find myself at the ends of most of his movies going “Damn, he kinda did it again.” Maybe he could tell that special “it” was going to be missing from this.

Since she’s in the firmament now and forever - up there with Michael Jackson, Madonna etc., and in many ways surpassing them - it’s kind of impressive that she did it without having almost any danceable music (Shake it Off notwithstanding). Beats/rhythms you can embarrass yourself to at weddings are usually the key to…

The problem with spoofs is that it attracts both a) genuinely funny people who love the genre they’re parodying, and b) jaded hacks who don’t understand how to tell a joke but just “know when they don’t like something.” And the barrier to making a parody movie is so low that Tubi, Freevee and the likes are just…

Recently saw a trailer for some Australian thriller with Tobey Jones doing a voice on a phone, and it started out by saying the whole trailer was made out of the first 30 minutes only. More trailers should do that.

Yeah, when I heard all the revisionist history going on about this trilogy I decided to watch Phantom Menace again for the first time since 1999.

One of those guys whose schtick is just kind of eternally enjoyable. Probably because the enthusiasm feels pretty real, even after all this time.

And people still wonder why Walk Hard didn’t kill the musical biopic genre for good.

Pretty obvious trolling here. They know very well what everyone thinks of the last two seasons, this is just them saying “Yeah fuck you too” in what they believe to be a humorous way.

Jo Koy’s joke is so basic and so clearly not poking fun at Taylor, but rather the NFL’s ravenous desire to capitalize off of her world-conquering fame, that I honestly think it makes both of them look bad.

Oh and even a Brit could tell you that Texas would sooner cook some BBQ over California’s burning forests than ever team up with them, this is clearly a plot point meant to subvert our expectations as an audience. Because if it’s just cleanly split down the middle of “who watches which news channel,” it wouldn’t be as…

I used to think a scenario like this was possible until it became exceedingly clear that we’re already in a 21st Century late-stage empire civil war, and this is just what it looks like: A non-stop barrage of psy-ops and propagandist bullshit, punctuated by mass shootings and bombings and attempted government building…
