Ratings are down across almost all TV in general. The people who care about movies, specifically seeing gold trophies get handed out to movies, have mostly abandoned traditional cable and would rather just watch in a bar or see funny tweets about the ceremony. The ones who still watch TV, and possibly have fond…

It was a few guys, among them Michael Rousselet, who started spreading the word and getting college students out to see it at midnight screenings. I think independently, a few major comedians like David Cross etc. kept driving past that billboard of Tommy on Sunset Blvd. and eventually said “All right, time to see…

I think I’ve maybe never seen such a clear-cut example of the internet’s desire to swing contrarian than when EEAAO pulled ahead as the clear Oscar favorite. Years ago, a movie like Tar would fuckin’ sweep and it would be called “Boring” so many millions of times that the collected tweets could overflow Madison Square…

Going with Scorcese’s first cheapo movie feels like a bit of a copout, but one glance at the rest of his filmography and you can see that even the movies I dislike have their dedicated fanbases (New York, New York perhaps being the fanbase which would have to do the most defending). Personally speaking, I know a lot…

There are possibly a few elder Zoomers who really dug the warm nostalgia hug of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Me personally, they got my ass when Doc Ock reconnected with Tobey, and no one can ever say Dafoe didn’t throw himself right into the role with campy relish like no time had passed. But that’s about it. So I guess…

It’s fairly weird how hated L&T is. It’s not as good as Ragnarok. In fact I can’t honestly remember more than about 10 things that happened in it. But people are acting like it killed their parents.

A few years ago, shit like this would have clearly been the work of Harvey Weinstein playing press games to try and drag down EEAAO’s Oscar chances. Like, smellable from ten miles away. But now it’s just the internet.

I’m sure a rewatch would strip away the anger I felt at the time, and I’d whittle my list of complaints down to just one generic, major one: Those last two seasons are way too fucking rushed. 

Pretty rare that a shelved movie winds up being any good. There’s Cabin in the Woods, and also...........uh

Season 4 had these little concentrated bits of pure, uncut AD that were every bit as funny as the original run, and it kept me hanging on all the way to the bitter, unsatisfying end. I say “end” because I’ve never watched Season 5 and don’t plan on it.

Huh, first time I’ve heard voiceover in a movie trailer for a long time. Granted, it’s meant to evoke “corny tryhard grindhouse,” and while it succeeds at that I’m not sure it works. But hey! Fun.

Periodic reminder that these people never went away after the 80's, they just lost their previous media/congressional foothold until That Guy came back, and brought Qanon along with him. Now they’ve got a bunch of their own elected, and we get to deal with people who speak in tongues and thrash around on the floor…

I thought about that. In a way, having the Alex Jones guy be a white male who is defeated by the protagonist will only play into their persecution complex...which, as we’ve seen, is a complex they’ve had for so long that now they wear these portrayals as a badge of honor. It’s like they’re trolling libs so well that…

My in-laws include two Gen Z-ers, and it’s confirmed: They thought Superbad, indeed, was pretty funny. Mostly just McLovin’s plot though.

Cold comfort I know, but you can just watch video of the ride that people have posted to see how jaw-droppingly underwhelming it would be, even if you did get to go. Yeah yeah, it’s got AR as well and that’s a key component you can’t see, but this is fucking Mario Kart. This ride should have been an absolute…

I genuinely think some of these names are a put-on, like “I’m so fucking talented and good that I can name myself anything...literally anything...and sell.” I mean, Eminem is an insanely bad name too. It’s his initials put together and it’s a goddamn candy. But eventually, you sell enough records and stick around long…

Fuck everyone!

I mean, it’s not a snub because we all know how the Academy feels about horror (and frankly Toni Collette was even better in Hereditary), but Mia Goth in Pearl counts as a snub if we’re being strictly literal.

Hack shit
