“They left out CrimmyTrimz, this Rewind sucks”

Her role wasn’t what I was expecting in the movie - I thought she’d basically be Poochie, better and cooler than Bond at every single thing in every single way - but they kinda subverted that, almost so much that it felt like they shunted her into the backseat or cut several scenes out. Lynch was great in the part…

One of my favorite things about Succession is that it debuted during the Trump era, so I don’t have to encounter any smug hand-wringing articles about “Are we really able to enjoy Succession anymore, now that we know what we know about rich people” or whatever the fuck.

Ah, I dunno. Chasing Pavements is different enough from Skyfall, which is different enough from Rolling in the Deep, which is different enough from Send My Love to Your New Lover. She has a lane for sure, but there’s some room on either side of the car.

Oh, I don’t think this is the worst thing Seinfeld’s ever done, come on. Him dating a high schooler is testament enough to that. I also liked that they got Cranston to do this and then specifically called out his character’s limited involvement.

The drawback is that they’re inescapably white and hetero, but the plus side is that they are totally charming and hermetically sealed in the past, where everything is too tame to hurt you.

Wes Anderson is never less than fully in control of his particular powers as a director, but you can’t help but miss the early days when there was a little more heart and anarchy injected into the proceedings. Grand Budapest Hotel is the absolute peak of his form in live-action, every single thing is note-perfect and…

Also, apparently Hall is African-American on her mother’s side (wellll, that and a couple other things). I think she obviously goes well past “passing” herself, but who am I to judge?

Not only is this meme wholesome, his reaction to it is perfect. He didn’t know, doesn’t entirely care, but is thankful nonetheless, charmed by its existence and moving onwards with his life. 

Frankly I think the Democrats are so obscenely useless that even if Hillary won, McConnell would have successfully stonewalled every Supreme Court appointment she tried to make and shut down the Senate for four straight years. We are ruled by the people of Kentucky.

I think a lifetime of working as an editor has trained the hairs on my arms and back of my neck to stand up whenever I hear off-camera punch-up. When it’s not some stupid goofy aside, it’s usually a character re-iterating the stakes or goal of the characters for everyone who’s been too busy watching their phones in…

I think after about a decade and change of republicans getting completely dunked on by these shows, they looked to Trump and got a major, empowering lesson from him: Never apologize, never be ashamed, just keep moving and eating and legislating and court-packing and smiling and lying and white-power marching until the…

I remember seeing this in theaters and everyone was actually very down to laugh. Pretty much the whole movie worked, but far and away the gas station stuff (and the fountain callback) got the biggest noise. A surprisingly good moment in a pretty dark time.

It’s yet another storytelling issue that crops up when your main character is effectively an all-powerful immortal god. Don’t they...have a duty to never stop helping people less fortunate?

Jesus, Spectre. Don’t remind me.

“You Know My Name” is like the Kool-Aid Man of Bond songs. It just busts through a wall, screaming at the top of its lungs, and is deeply uncool in an endearing dad-rock sort of way...which makes it circle back around to being awesome by the end of it.

Reminds me of a lot of 1960's “counter-culture” comedies (or at least the ageing studios’ inept attempts at making them) where the climaxes would just involve everyone yelling over each other, entering / exiting rooms, falling on top of each other, perhaps an exotic animal is involved, etc. Just 15 interminable minutes…

He’s cut his own trailers before, they’re just not often the ones that get played in theaters. I believe he cut this teaser for TWBB, for example

Between smug and “actively believes in baby blood-drinking cabals, white power and horse paste,” I will take smug every day and twice on fucking Sunday

I’m a simple man: I see live-action corgi, I give show a chance
