Saturday Night Fever is a fantastic film - honest and ugly in a way that so much ‘70s cinema can be. Goodbye Girl is a good romcom and Richard Dreyfuss is great in it, but Travolta deserved the Oscar that year - the way he took Tony from cocky disco king to a broken man sickened by the slow realization that he was…
You’ve been here about 11 or 12 years now. Not since the beginning, but a good long while to read a website daily. You don’t know where to go that’s better, but you just find this site exhausting now. It used to be funny. It used to be clever. It used to be a reliable source for finding weird, interesting shit that…
Phew that’s a hot take
No more coffee for you ....
Looks like he's going for the Dukes of Hazzard look.
No one foresees a family member fucking dying.
I really like Alec Baldwins f-bomb in Aviator. Nice slow build up, and then....
That sandwich has some mold around it.
Well, you’re that guy who’s right. No harm in that.
I assume that’s the “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me” line?
As I recall, the only laugh of that scene was Palmer’s precision usage of an F-bomb. Which was, bar none, the single best of use of the F-word in cinematic history.
I’m with you. There are times when—if I’m only making breakfast for myself and I’m really hungry—I get halfway through the process, say f*** it and just have scrambled eggs!
A marriage proposal should be a formality, preceded by a serious discussion between partners. The time, place and form should be a surprise, but not the answer.
The difference between the prequels and the sequels is interesting. The prequels are terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movies that nonetheless have a specific story to tell. They do an absolutely horrific job of it on every conceivable level. Every character kind of sucks in their own sucky way and nobody seems to be…
I agree with the exception of the Kessel run. It didn’t make a lot of sense to me in the context of Solo doing it fastest; it seemed like it should be a regular smuggler’s route that people in the business all know about instead of lucking his way out of a space storm. I did enjoy his interaction with Lando.
If they had billed Solo as ‘A Han Solo Adventure’ instead of ‘the ORIGIN of Han Solo’ I think it would’ve been much more warmly received. It’s a fun movie with some crackerjack sequences; Ehrenreich was never going to be Ford but he hits the notes of the character well enough, the supporting cast rules, and they nail…
‘Solo’ is frigging fun. That's all I wanted from it, and it delivered.
Just watched Solo a second time with my partner who hadn’t seen it during theatrical release, and it really is a fun ride.
Might I add that there’s a lot to like about the Clone Wars and Rebels series. The lightsaber fights between Sidious and Maul (and his brother), Vader and Ahsoka, and Obiwan and Maul are truly excellent. And Rebels has Tom frickin’ Baker!
Tickets run about 280 million bucks each.
