They’re tedious, not kooky
Mediocrity’s not spooky
It left me feeling poopy
The Addams family . . . spinoff series Wednesday

The real War on Christmas is the commercial/materialist celebration completely overwhelming any sort of spiritual significance the holiday may have held for Christians. Not only has that war been lost in the general public, but Evangelicals happily surrendered to the capitalists decades ago.

Laura Dern kicks all the ass. So does Jamie Lee Curtis.

Werewolf by Night was an absolute highlight of this phase (if it even fits in somewhere?  Very much seemed like it’s own thing).

Eh, I didn’t think so. I thought it was paced well as a six-episode miniseries and I think we would have lost a lot of the quieter and fun moments if you made that series as a movie. Like Yelena and Kate bonding over mac and cheese. I don’t think that show was perfect (none of these shows were) but it largely worked…

I know this isn’t how contracts work, unfortunately, but I think the MCU TV shows would work better if they were presented in the way that Dave Filoni did the original run of Clone Wars. Run a 20 episode season, follow Wanda for 3-4 episodes, then check in with She Hulk, then Falcon gets a one-off adventure with War…

TFATWS was the one absolutely messed up by Covid

Was Loki low stakes? I thought the existence of all histories hung in the balance by the end of that.

Shang-Chi was a real standout this phase too in retrospect. The bus fight. 

I mean, didn’t they explicitly say that Phase 4 was going to be about everyone grappling with the struggle of getting back to life after The Snap, and dealing with the trauma and grief of both that and The Battle of Upstate New York?

One had the Tesseract and Coulson; two brought the Stones to the forefront; three was more stones, more characters, and Thanos. Each earlier phase ended with a climactic Avengers movie, with two and three having an epilogue movie.

I recently re-watched Crimson Peak, every filmmaker working today should take a lesson in lighting from that movie. It’s good modern special effects on top of a modern take on 70s/80s colored gel lighting used to great effect. There’s no reason for the lazy way nearly everything is lit these days.

Can’t say that I feel this being good news. Like in the least. I think Cavill’s performance as Geralt, and the dynamic he and Allan had to infuse Geralt’s and Ciri’s story with genuine emotion, is everything essentially keeping that show afloat and functioning. And I don’t say that lightly as when I watched the second…

Even if there were people who thought that The Crown was a documentary about historical facts what’s it to Judi Dench? Making such a fuss about a family of monarchs is just archaic in the 21st century. Brits should worry about all the other things that plague their country. Five PMs in 6 six years?!

Hey, he gave you your props.  What’s the issue??

I thought anti-Pratt started when he started doing Jurassic Parks and everyone went, “oh, so you’re just going to keep playing this exact same d-bag over and over again, huh?”

‘Rachel Getting Married’ is actually the first thing I saw Hathaway in. I’d heard of her before, but had no opinions about her. As soon as I saw the film, I was thinking, “This is one seriously fantastic actor.”

Agree. She’s the best part of the worst Nolan Batman movie, and Get Smart is underrated.

Want to see Hathaway give another amazing performance? Watch Rachel Getting Married. 

Oh really?  Do you mean to imply that you have ? Because if so I need, nay, demand, details, goss, scuttlebutt!
