A good 45 minutes too long.

Here’s a riddle for you, “the less of these you have, the more one is worth.” The answer, of course, is fucking everything.

At the risk of self-indulgence, I’m gonna pop down here for whoever is poking around in the comments section to say that this is my last A.V. Club review. (I believe that’s the case for everyone writing an A.V. Club movie review this week.) This is really more of a farewell-toned piece, ICYMI:

there is a law of nature, a hard and fast law [for which] there are no loopholes and no escaping it, and this law is what you sow you shall reap.

Pretty sure he had as much creative control over that movie as anything in his filmography, and even in the mid-90s it’s hard to imagine a Universal executive sending back his script with the note “NEEDS SNAKE SURFING.”

I was into it, but not enough to keep watching after the hammer came down. It was really a downer of a show. Like TWD, but without even the fun of the occasional zombie, just people being shitty to one another.

Well, I mean, I’ve met people, so I know they’re all self absorbed assholes. I understand that.

Look, I can’t blame them too much for that.  Would you want to spend any time working in Texas in this day and age?

The final knife fight in The Hunted kicks so much ass. It’s a great movie, as is Bug, but neither of them have a Fuck House -- I don’t know why Jade gets such a bad rap.

I know a lot of people consider Bug to be Friedkin’s return to form, but for me it was The Hunted. Though Bug is definitely still the best out of everything post To Live & Die in LA.

Man, I can’t even imagine the point you’re bending over backwards to make here, but PLEASE don’t explain it.

A TV show without filler episodes! Well done, Reacher, well done. More, please!

I’m not the first one to say this, but I will echo it: one of Farscape’s brilliant ways of handling John and Aeryn’s relationship was to take the sex out of the “will they” early in the show. They end up hooking up fairly early on, so it becomes more of a matter of will they fall in love and will they be able to be in…

I dunno if you’ve seen Eilish outside of the burlap sack outfits but she’s built like a brick shit house. Kanye would be pulling his MAGA cap out of his colon if she decided to throw down.

I hear Pete Davidson is willing to step in if Kanye can’t perform.

I can remember watching the Oscars as a kid and really believing that it was important for this film to be judged more worthy than that one. I think most people figure out eventually that it can all be pretty arbitrary, and that’s when the air starts to leak out of the balloon.

I’m in the same boat because I don’t particularly care for musicals (I think I saw this in school too, and that would be the last time I saw it). I usually don’t like remakes either, but this one looks like it can be really good, so why not give it a try? I thought that Mary Poppins sequel a couple of years ago would…

Go watch “Barb Wire”.

Maria: “Bernardo, mi hermano, I don’t get why you hate Tony so much! What’s your problem with him?”

This movie is just wonderfully ridiculous. The script is just full of WTF, but in a good way. This is the kind of movie where you’re missing the point if you pick apart such high-minded conceits as “plot” or “dialogue” or “acting”. Wan remains a technical whiz. Quite a few exciting, mind-blowing, great looking shots…
