This article is SO on point. McAdams is terrific in everything. So is Jesse Plemons, who also completely crushes his role in this movie. It’s such a treat when actors of their caliber are given juicy comic roles.

If I can make one boast of my time on this Earth as a film critic, it’s that I never once made a six-hour video about anything. 

Yes, let’s watch a 6 hour long YouTube series to find out out why the thing I like is actually garbage

Yes, it’s quite rare among film critics, the conviction that Last Jedi and Rian Johnson are good.

Out of all those trailers, it was The Beach Bum that really sucked me in. It contains 3 of my guilty pleasures: 1) Matthew McConaughey, 2) Crimson and Clover, and 3) Florida weirdos. 

you mean queef?

All I’m asking for is a good movie and not the wet fart that was the Ghostbusters reboot.

Not in the least. The Last Jedi is one of my favorite blockbuster-level movies of the past, I don’t know, decade? And I like Abrams too!

I don’t know you but I’d bet money that he likes movies more than you do. 

I love his reviews. He may not like them, but at least he tells you about it in a manner that’s better than a good majority of people who have made up their minds because they think they know something about movies.

Man, I would love for movie trailers to operate like Scenes From The Next Mad Men — vague but intriguing images edited together for maximum confusion, elliptically suggesting a story we know to be false but that is still compelling. Those things were art.

Spader-Man is great, but you wouldn’t want to be his secretary.

Then what is? Why do you think he doesn’t like movies when he clearly has a passion for them (I can’t imagine many people going into the glorious low paying cultural criticism game unless they enjoy them)? Because his tastes don’t match up to yours? Because he doesn’t like every single thing that crosses his path? Do…

I hope it’s a worthy follow up to Webs, Lies, and Videotape.

A few issues earlier Godzilla had been shrunk using Pym’s tech but he escaped and ended up fighting a New York sewer rat. Good times.

Ahhh yes, a floating cosmic turtle that appears near the very end of a 1,000 page novel is the highlight of IT, not the psychopathic clown that terrorizes children.

So you were really missing that child sewer gangbang scene, huh?

THEN WHAT’S THE POINT OF ANYTHING?

The Turtle is possibly the easiest part to take out and really doesn’t add anything to the contained story.

IT chapter 2 will have the structure. All the young actors reprise their roles and the narrative will have that frequent time jumping.
