There is some fascinating capitalization going on in that image.

Jerry Seinfeld has spent more than 20 years watching Larry David prove that he’s who everyone thought Jerry Seinfeld was while watching Seinfeld. And that existential crisis has hounded him more and more each day as everyone cheers on Larry David being both edgy AF and also not a sh**bird pedo like Jerry Seinfeld is.

Whaddya mean “sphere”!?

Going back to my youth, the Onion had a story that stuck with me headlined

Exactly. In fact I even liked what he turned out to be on its own terms. The incompetent child-king who blusters and blunders his way into more power than he knows what to do with is one of the film’s more interesting angles (and, uh, more than a little relevant these days...). But it just never connects because he…

Pretty much how I felt about it, except I’d hesitate to call it “competently told”. Some egregious pacing issues, entire (and important) timeframes completely omitted, and several “wait, what?” moments. If there was one question about Furiosa posed by Fury Road, (((NO SPOILERS, but I’ll get into what the movie DOESN’T…

RE: the VFX, I think the logic is that as long as VFX workers aren’t unionized, it’s cheaper to push them around. It’s certainly more flexible, and lets them spend less on building practical sets, props, etc. It lets them schedule fewer days of production, because they’re not spending an entire day on getting one…

There were only four other people in the theater with me when I caught it early Thursday evening. Garfield seemed to have a bigger turnout that day from what I could tell in the Fandango app, but neither were doing particularly well.

Case in point the Mad Max movies. Don’t get me wrong, George Miller makes incredible films, but Fury Road underperformed, and Furiosa may be an outright flop, and this shouldn’t be the case. Both should be profitable, because both could’ve been made for smaller budgets, because they ought to be junkyard type movies.…

the marketing was also shit.

I was afraid of this, having seen Furiosa at 9 pm last night in a theater with 3 other people in it.

And having now seen it, I don’t expect that to improve. Frankly I’m surprised by the warmth of the reviews. It’s... fine? But there’s nothing to hook new fans. It doesn’t offer any story you haven’t seen before. It…

We still haven’t really had a good sci-fi movie about the more realistic threat AI poses — that it may eliminate or severely downsize many different types of work all at once, without creating new human jobs in sufficient numbers to replace them. Previous technological advances have made some labor obsolete but also…

As a 40 year old parent of two, I’ve noticed that there seems to be a market for young adults with a massive amount of expendable income, and I’m just sitting here wondering if I need to cancel my Netflix account to save $15 a month.

I wonder if we could get a Dune-themed travel show. Scytale in Italy?

I think its based on the bad books

So is this show based on the crappy books that Frank Herbert’s son wrote? Is it connected to the Villeneuve movies or is it its own thing? Is Villeneuve involved with this at all? It all looks very expensive but I’m not sure how much I should care.

Do you honestly believe Galadriel was well written in the first season?

Well, that’s because he would have liked to come and meet us, but he thought he’d blow our minds.

While some on Twitter/X speculated that Taylor-Joy could be hinting that director George Miller was creepy or inappropriate in some way, she was very effusive toward him in the interview.

So not a single word about Roger Corman on this site? Shame on all of you.
