New feelings about Annie's red dress.

John Huston was the director, and I only remember that because I watched the hell out of Siskel & Ebert in the 80's & 90's. Huston was getting up there in age and it seemed like a weird fit for him to do “Annie.” I do like the movie’s bridge action scene, Rooster going homicidal, and Ms Hannigan’s redemption. Huston’s…

I think the extra girls in street clothes were the off-camera singers augmenting "Hard Knock Life" etc. so the dozen on-camera orphans could could dance and do flips and not have to worry about holding pitch or being mic'd. Not saying the orphans were lip-syncing per se, they just had vocal help. Still live, of…

Its just great to see this style again.

That would be fine - if they embiggened Fisk by a few inches. Shouldn’t get too crazy though. Professor Hulk is great and all, but they need to find a new & better gear for She-Hulk. Unless they straight-up use a tall actress and deep fake Maslany’s face on her.

Musicals fall into a couple categories. West Side Story and Music Man get remade and remade on stage with famous revival cast members and new generations. I can’t see anyone remaking Singin in the Rain as it’s completely built around its singular talents. Grease ... can’t really see it getting remade (other than on…

I’m like 3/4 convinced it’s Fisk. The only thing going against, is that the Track Suits seem a little low-rent for the D’Onofrio version of Kingpin. However, if this crew was one of his “who-cares” side projects ... and maybe with Echo running the crew largely on her own (could explain why everyone calls Uncle “Uncle”…

Fingers crossed when Echo gets her own show, he'll get a few flashbacks.

When McClarnon showed up I gave out a whoop! Love this guy. So good in Westworld.

Acknowledged that everyone hates what Midge did to Shy. How Midge lives her life & gains success is (I’m guessing) a slow-burn/long-game thing for the show to explore that might not payoff to anyone’s satisfaction until - for example - the last episode of season seven. Give it time & don’t rage-quit if the…

I think Ebert is remembering John Waters. Started with Devine eating actual dogshit - 25 years later made Crybaby, Hairspray & Serial Mom. Pretty sure Ebert thumbs-upped those last three.

It was in the way people’s eyes go up and go unfocused when they’re thinking and trying to access different parts of their brains. Paul’s eyes are going everywhere when he’s trying to think through something - especially when trying to work through what venue or “event” is supposed to be the culmination of the month.

At least he looks like a guy who partied all night and never went home. 

I wish the rooftop concert HAD MORE BILLY!

I kept thinking of Floyd at Pompeii and imagining the same couple producers as always suggesting an ancient amphitheater as their career go-to "big" idea. Stodgy Brits and their dreams of being Lawrence of Arabia.

Favorite revelations:

EwaG vs Hit Monkey or gtfo

They had the Jerome & Jeremiah twins. Both played well by Cameron Monaghan

Hutch - you called it.

The wet Hall-of-Justice floor makes it look scuzzy - like the roof leaks. But, maybe that’s the point.
