I saw Sliver not too long ago and I can see some room for improvement in Baldwin’s performance, namely his face, which is doing a constant, horrible, sad-clown, Pagliacci-trying-to-be-smouldering thing. It’s a bad movie and he’s the worst part of it. Obviously, not a co-star’s job to fix with her vagina, even if that

My worry about this movie’s legacy is that maybe it’s never going to get a video release? It’s Apple+, and we know what happens to movies there.

I thought this was going to be the same Emma Stone joke we’ve been hearing for like ten years, but it turns out to be a different Emma Stone joke, which isn’t much of a joke?

I was hoping you got away! Now you’re going to get stabbed and turn up again at the end getting wheeled around by a paramedic while the rest of the cast is like “omg, you’re alive” from their gurneys

(looks over at the 24-year-old coworker who watches Cars every night as he goes to sleep in the home where his mom does his laundry) yeah there might

I work with a dude who was a pretty full-on HP adult, but that seemed to chill out pretty fast when he met a nice girl and got engaged.

I remember a cover story in Starlog asking, “Is Star Wars fandom dead?” That was about 1987.

Dramatic for us at the time, but when my nephews watched this movie, I finally asked them the long-awaited question of whether they could even describe a difference between 1985 and 1955. Except for the parents being obviously younger, they could not.

There was a whole run of horror movies for a while that basically posited “what if those witch-burned witch ladies were literally witches with witch superpowers, and were also just fuckin’ asking for it?” So far as that goes, I can see finding the genre troublesome. But for something fluffy like a sitcom, I don’t get

Oh good, I was hoping we could re-re-relitigate this shit

save their lover/daughter

“Is rock music dead?” (looks at this guy on a rooftop, smashing his Machine Gun Kelly signature guitar) “Yeah, I think it’s dead”

People really memory-holed that shit with Fassbender.

For whatever it’s worth, Ferguson rocks this look much better than Johnny Depp does.

“Who is that? She looks like Cate Blanchett, but Cate Blanchett isn’t gonna star in...well damn.”

I don’t know how much these things even mean. Shang-Chi ended with two promises about followups, and neither of them involved Shang-Chi.

Hahaha, oh wow, I’ve read a bunch of hard rock/metal bios in the last few years but I don’t think I’ve done the Rashomon thing for any of them, that’d be a tall order, but some of these bands with multiple members’ bios out there and might be interesting for it; some of them I just didn’t read them close enough

Dunking on KISS for being image-over-all meathead bullshit has been easy sport since at least the 80's, but I assume since the beginning. You’re totally right about their influence on a generation of hr/hm musicians, particularly Ace, but I suspect a lot of that was generational, getting to these guys at the right

I don’t love KISS, but practically every heavy metal/hard rock musician from my generation grew up loving them.

I don’t blame people for not liking that ending; it was not promoted as something that was going to lead immediately into another sequel, and the theatre I saw it in turned on it rapidly (if not with any real hostility) at the end there. That said, I doubt it’s anything anyone’s going to be bothered about after the
