It was just awful. And I think Chibnall’s only reasons for that plot twist were a.) to fulfill a BBC edict that ANYONE can be the Doctor - never mind that they already hired Jodie! and b.) a fanwank canonization of an obscure, vague discrepancy presented in one 1970s episode. If this plot twist was created in service…

I love when she’s practicing on the bridge and can’t get the steps--her stomping, log-kicking frustration and finally gettin’ a little sexy with it.

It’s always a little crazy to me how Dirty Dancing was absolutely pro-feminism, anti-classism, anti-snob, and proudly Jewish, but also such a model for a lot of snobby, classist, anti-feminist, Christian supremacists. I knew pseudo Antonin Scalia types who loved it and wanted to add Dirty Dancing themes to the…

The way you describe the character arcs of Baby and Johnny makes me think it’s a bit of a gender swap, in that Johnny is the one who’s a bit in need of rescuing, while Baby is more of the white knight.  

Solid movie, and eminently watchable, the kind of film you can just fall into by accident if you catch it somehow. Those montage scenes are excellent (didn’t know that tickle scene was a rehearsal shot, that enthusiastic, unselfconscious personality is part of the charm of both actors) the heightened music, the sort…

Ebert reviewed all kinds of films in his career, especially if he believed in them.

Thanks for the photo reminder that “Cyber-Lords” were a thing.

Wouldn’t it be odd to not review the latest film by someone who has his body of work? He made incredible films in his day.

“I thought Allen was most popular among New Yorkers.”

um it appears to be a video of a bunch of pictures and someone saying things over it like “a mother” “a room”, etc.

That’s my experience too. Just visceral hate for his films from the beginning but not versed enough in film language to express it.

Listen, I’m pulling for you, and I’m glad you made your film. I really am. But how often do you see ANY site reviewing movies that don’t have a distributor, unless it’s something appearing at Sundance where the whole point is to find a distributor?? The fact is, you’re not likely to get many people reading reviews of…

Let’s just say we had a great time mocking him. For months.

LMAOOOOOOO of all the movies to have picked! Why not Annie Hall??? Or, like, Hannah And Her Sisters??? 

At best, he chose to romance and marry his son’s sister; his son’s mother’s daughter. That is so comically selfish and lacking in any sense of boundaries or restraint, I’m not really interested in whatever silly excuses he has.

which I guess is a good way to ensure there will be more readers

I mean, for me, Annie Hall, Crime and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters all appealed to young me in the 80s. Manhattan only makes sense as a horror story about human trafficking at this point.

A TV really isn’t big enough to appreciate the the climactic scene where Timothee Chalamet opens a series of portals and brings through dozens of characters from earlier Woody Allen movies to fight Liev Schreiber. 

I’m an avowed pacifist and even I want to punch that name to the fuckin moon.
