They can give her all the shows they want, she’s not giving Bezos’ sculpture back.

It’s been a pleasure reading your reviews, sir. They always hit the right balance of cleverness, insight and flow, and your A grades really did make me sit up and notice. And I hope you keep your high standards. People have been misunderstanding what critics do since probably the Lumiere brothers, so let them choke…

Could they have? I remember thinking the scripts were really turning themselves into knots to avoid it. And they were compensating by using “shit” a little more often than is plausible.

I don’t remember ever hearing them say “fuck.”

And then came back to wear itself out.

Saru was offered a ship. He turned it down.

And they told him it was the chalice from the palace! Of course he drank from it!

I’d rather they CGI him out so it’ll just be Lenny talking to no one.

And that’s even what Russell Crowe asks everybody in the movie!

It’s those baciagaloop millenialli who trash-a my movie!

I feel like it’s had a bit of a renaissance in terms of reputation? I’ve been seeing some opinions that don’t come out and praise it, but settle on a middle ground of “good fun.” Could just be people getting older and more nostalgic for things that came out 20 years ago.

I think once the world of HP became an adult phenomenon beyond the books, people actively retconned Slytherin from House of Evil, which made little narrative or world-building sense, to the house of people who don’t feel like they fit in, who rebel, who see through the bullshit. Suddenly it’s full of gothy creative…

I always wondered if people walked out of HBP wondering what “Half Blood Prince” actually means. Because, unless I’m misremembering, the movie cuts the part where we find out why Snape chose that name.

I dunno... in the book, we get to the climax of an amazing 150-page battle and we... stop dead for an exposition dump about who owned the Elder Wand that reads like a section of the tax code. I think the movie handles it more deftly, albeit a little dumbed down.

That’s how I feel about every movie. (And yes, it always has to be Di.)

But... Weird Al can keep it in his Hot Rocks Polka, right!?

That cassette tape playing in a truck with the windows down sounds amazing!
