The thing is: Warner Brothers is too corporate and stupid to make anything good out of their enormous catalogue of Looney Tunes characters. Disney gets the mojo every once in a great while (Aladdin or Emperor’s New Groove). Dreamworks has basically cashed-out (though something smells synergistic with a new Shrek…

Zemeckis is going to Zemeck.

For real. Like technically the guy in ROTJ that crashed his A-Wing into the Executor had a name, Arvel Crynyd. Every Ewok had a name, like Logray, Paploo, Chirpa, Wicket, etc. That guy that Han threw a toolbox at in the shield substation was named Dyer. It’s gonna be like that. We’ll see Phyla-Vell from Guardians 3…

After opening by showing the Cylons launching their attack on humanity, Battlestar Galactica’s second ever scene is this marvel that introduces a ton of the major characters without ever feeling awkward in the cramped hallway sets.

I liked Iron Fist actually. A lot of people weren’t looking for a story about a kid with horrible PTSD returning from years of being tortured in captivity only to find out that the one person he thought he could trust was the person who betrayed him, but I found it to be an interesting take.

it’s probably just his style. i hear bits of ‘holding out for a hero’ and that celine dion song he’d end up writing.

“Tonight is What it Means to be Young” may be Steinman repeating himself a little- you can hear a LOT of “Total Eclipse of the Heart” in it- but honestly I think it’s a better song. 

Bill Paxton also got an early role in this as a comic-relief bartender. I unironically love this movie. Much like Hill’s earlier film The Warriors, it’s set in a world that looks superficially like the real world, but clearly had a different history than our own, and has a culture that is a mixture of elements from…

Tonight is What it Means to be Young is actually so awesome that it literally saved the entire movie. The studio execs were very underwhelmed with the footage they were seeing and were on the verge of scrapping the whole thing, but then Steinman delivered that song and they loved it so much that they let the movie be…

“I had a dream ‘bout a boy in a castle/
And he’s dancin’ like a cat on the stairs” is an actual Jim Steinman lyric.

East Coast Klan guys keep that part of themselves very hidden, the rest of their public personas follow suit by din of internal association, if you catch my meaning. Big secrets make the rest of the man shy. Plus I get that there was and is to this day a sort of scuzzy equilibrium held by mid to upper rich douche bags…

I want the schadenfreude, I want to savor the schadenfreude, this isn’t really giving me the pure schadenfreude.

I can appreciate fans wanting more Stringer Bell in season two and less Union Guys. I think I was probably in the same boat for the first four episodes, until I realized... oh This IS the main plot... By the time Frank Sobotka was grabbing and kicking the chain link fence I was totally hooked on his story.

I like The Wire Season 2 a lot, and I feel it’s come up a lot more in most people’s estimation, but it was often considered the worst of the first four. As much as I like it, it’s probably about as easy to watch Ziggy as it would be to know him.

Emily Blunt must be having a sainthood level of patience and tolerance if that’s how The Rock is cooking in Jungle Cruise.

The Magicians! The season 3 episode “Life in a Day” was fantastic

“Beebo the God of War” ep9 season 3, Legends of Tomorrow.

I’m agnostic on Leto. Maybe he hits one for four. He was net neutral (no pun intended) in Blade Runner 2049, his Joker was ... whatever, can’t assume it was all him and not Team-Ayers. His rap seems due to off-screen obnoxiousness more than anything. I skipped Morbius, so i dont have that in my head. But hey! Two…

“... and just played an improv version of the score for the movie as he remembered it.”

My understanding is that Jarmusch played the movie once for Neil Young. Then Young plugged in his amp and played through it live when it was played for him the second time (which they recorded). That’s why it’s just Young and his guitar and the guitar stops when there is dialogue (of which there is not that much). You…
