Too true. That she halfway outs her dad still cracks me up.

On the downer side, who can top Liva and Tony Soprano? "Oh, poor you!"

Glad "Easy A" got a mention. I did a mental run through of animated features and would like to mention the girls Satsuki and Mei and their dad in "My Neighbor Totoro." Dad's dealing with some stressful shit and you'd never know because he's at heart an upbeat guy. Of course then the neighbor helps out.

Q: Was that a bat?
A: Chicken of the Cave.

It would be fascinating if The Patriot actually put on Cap's suit for awhile. The shield is available, after all. His tenure could rise and (let's say) resolve anytime before Infinity Wars comes out. Good stuff a-comin'.

Little details like the torture chair getting so much use that the bolts on the feet start splintering the wood boards - and it becomes a call-back later when Exley and White rip a hole in the floor during the final shoot out… little things like that make you appreciate that screenplay.

Well, actually Snatch was so out-there that it kind of worked.

Not unless both parties attend divorce proceedings utilizing their respective horrible British accents.

Since who the hell cares anymore about deadlines, I hope he writes again some episodes of the TV show. His eps in past seasons were some of the best.

I was wondering if A.V. gave up on Gotham. I watched it tonight, in part, just to come over here and read the always-enjoyable bitching.

Yes! Which song does Gene barf blood to? Beth? Doctor Love?

Here's two: Weinstein sold "Philomena" as a laugh-a-minute road comedy. I was working at a theater at the time and people would exit saying, "That was good, but nothing like the preview."

It's good to see the kids age up.

Alan Silvestri hits about 1 in 10. Back to the Future is great, but The Abyss is bad. When I saw he was doing music for The Avengers I knew it would be disappointing and bland and it was.

Godzilla sat up straight, surprising everybody. The fight was over. All the little people assumed he was dead, but really he was just exhausted. He had slowed his heart rate to one beat per hour and the good people of San Francisco were too scared to disturb him.
He was sitting on his tail so he scootched toward…

There was that scene with the quick affair between the guard and the inmate early on, so you could argue that the kiss here is showing the youngsters become more part of the machine. Plus, Zallian and Price can't totally deny their pulp entertainment tendencies.

Cat, we need you to rap
Cat, we need you to rap
Don't give to us slow
Cause we know you know
New power soul
Gotta gotta gotta go!

TV Commercial Rant

I love this musical with its great show-stopping number …

There's plenty of funk
Going down
And around
(It's what I've found)
Huh.
At the Crisco Disco.
