The FX are great. I’m talking insofar as all CW shows cut corners on sets. This show is great so far, but I suspect by the end of the season 70% of all action set pieces will be set in parking lots. Again, not a knock. Simple sets fit nicely into computer programs.

Why is this show so good? It took Batwoman half a season to get this good (and I was impressed how good Batwoman got by the end). Stargirl is kind of just solidly nuts-and-bolts; efficient, you might say. I can’t think of a wrong or wasted scene yet. For my viewing, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a show that put so…

I know they shoot on a budget, but I really enjoy action sequences that can wring creative suspense out of ordinary, even basic sets. Tigress flinging Wildcat around on that industrial grade cement & iron stairway was still edge-of-your-seat stuff. 

“Please, people. Label what’s yours in the break room fridge. We don’t need another freak-out like we had last week. Joan is passing around a get-well card for Richard. His condition has stabilized and rather than risking surgery to remove the extra limbs, he has elected to begin physical therapy in an effort to try…

Mussolini as played by Jerry Lewis Freunlaven Clown = Trump

Trump has been sounding more and more like the Flamiel & Freunlaven Clown from Animaniacs lately.

“Star fucks up movie with bad press” might get CAA or William Morris or whoever slapped with a hearty lawsuit, though. The kid’s agent will get burned. The agent’s team will get burned. And the agency head will get burned - unless they settle.

I’m guessing the damage this does, cuts the movie’s return on cost - at best - by half. Scraping it might get 80% back in insurance costs. I’m just saying there’s some out-of-the-box thinking that needs to go on here. I wanted to see this movie - like badly - until this. Now I don’t want to see it at all. The stills…

Well, after going through the stages of grief, Spielberg should just start reshooting.

Hello Time Travelers!

Somewhere in the great multiverse, where once every decade or so DC and Marvel do a crossover, I imagine the Zephyr and the Waverider crossing paths. I’m so happy both these shows exist.  

“Unhinged” though true, I got turned off by the truck chase immediately because it was another “(blank) has to drive a (blank) in this stand-out action sequence - and get this ... it’s funny because, wait for it, they’re too small to drive! Yeah! Into oncoming traffic, the whole bit. Kidz’llovit.” Where (blank2) = a…

I would love a whole feature centered around Bound’s Jackalope.

Is the dino named Arlo deliberately insofar as we’re supposed to get put in the mindset of Arlo Guthrie and a wander-the-land style of narrative?

The SF thing bugged me a little bit too. It’s hard to set that aside but I kind of got past it by holding close to the girl’s outlook. I think even though Inside Out’s overall concept is solid, the two hurtles are moving to SF (where most of us who don’t live there are thinking “Oh, Boo-Hoo kid”) and the clown…

lol. I hope you called it. 

Hey, well, good news. Thanks.

Whichever was the episode where Ray mails himself in a love letter to Nora. Maybe it wasn’t a top ten episode. But that was a top three moment.

Is he doing Death on the Nile for sure? I liked Murder on the Orient Express and was expecting Kenneth to be a hammy ham sandwich, but instead, his Poirot was played just about right. They set up Nile at the end of Express - but then Fox got bought out. I sort of assumed and gave a sequel little chance of getting…
