Too bad Ricky Smith grew up to be a total asshole.

Her performance looks great so far. I get, for example, being distracted by her accent, but that seems like such a minor thing. The presence or spirit of the character is so much more important than a literal impression. AdA seems to get that.

A great actress. She’s also amazing in To Sleep with Anger--in a very stacked cast.

The Russos just aren’t my thing. Their style is functional at best. Their films are typically flat-looking, they have no real point of view, and they contribute nothing. At best, they are hacks with decent taste who can usually rise to the challenge of good scripts, but who can never transcend the problems of bad…

They tend to have pretty good scripts—which is why their best television work is usually on shows that are consistently well-written. But all of their non-MCU/non-Arrested Development/non-Community work is usually functional at best. Cherry sucks. The Gray Man is terrible. You, Me & Dupree is passable. Their Marvel…

I mean, I’ll take him directing an MCU movie over the Russos--who are terrible at what they do.

Zendaya’s breakout was as the second lead on Disney’s Shake It Up with Bella Thorne. Then she was a runner up on Dancing with the Stars. Then, she was the lead on K.C. Undercover for three years. Zendaya had a whole career starting several years before she was even cast in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Please Don’t Destroy have always been funny, but I am cautiously optimistic about a movie. It’s hard to imagine them in a context outside of sketches and short videos. Some of the longer videos that aren’t SNL or Twitter sketches tend to be hit or miss. But who knows? Maybe they’ll blow us all away.

The comment section blowing up over a typo is pathetic.

I’d be very into Kim getting her own. El Camino. Sounds good.

Movie theaters can be expensive and should be cheaper, no doubt. But the whole point of theaters is that they’re supposed to be for everyone. It’s meant to be a communal experience. Accessibility is the opposite of elitism. 

Kinda shitty to the other nominees to be like, “Where are our nominations???” And honestly, it was a stacked year with a really good slate of nominees. It’s not hard to say who I might cut for This Is Us, but these are not the most egregious omissions in Emmy history.

Didn’t read the article. Too distracted by how unbelievably hot Steven Yeun is.

People also like to retroactively argue that Iron Man was as big of a deal as The Dark Knight, but that’s just not true. The Dark Knight was seismic. And Iron Man was/is very well-liked, but it benefits from the cumulative good will of the films that came after it, and by being a then-untested blueprint. The Dark…

I’m a big Jane Austen fan, but I watched the trailer and I’m into it.

I’m not at all saying it’s an invalidation of the themes of Brokeback Mountain. I’m saying that the voting body of the Academy would rather ignore that theme altogether for a ham-fisted dumpster fire like Crash because, at least at the time, they were not fully on board with a queer story being their pick for Best…

Worse, they preferred it over a gentle Taiwanese man saying, “Two men who love each other shouldn’t be constrained by societal limitations or prejudice.” And then the Academy said, “Maybe they should?”

My favorite movie out of Sundance this last year. I’m so jazzed to watch it again. 

Forrest Gump is a better movie than it’s given credit for—for example, I don’t think people key into how sarcastic its take on the 20th century greatest hits is, even though it’s not terribly cryptic. It’s also not such a masterpiece it’s worth dying on any hill. But I’m glad that Hanks still sticks up for it—even…

I’m just gonna stay home and not watch Spider-Man as a franchise jack itself off for three hours.
