I’m pretty sure Hornsby has directed multiple episodes of It’s Always Sunny.

I’ve only seen it once so far, but I really enjoyed Nope and I think I will like it even more on second viewing. Even in just the few hours since I left the theater this evening, I’m finding a lot of things I found questionable (including some things mentioned in this review, like the Gordy plot) already work a lot…

The Village is a lot better than it gets credit for and The Happening is so nutso that while it’s not good and everyone, particularly Zooey Deschanel, seems like they are in different movies it’s still totally entertaining. If nothing else it’s impressive how he comes up with new and absurdly elaborate/stupid ways for…

I wouldn’t even say there really is a “twist” in Nope. Like you start with the protagonists engaging with a mysterious thing they don’t understand, and after repeated interactions with that thing, they figure it out. Unless you reject the premise of aliens and UFOs, everything pretty much checks out and is plausible.

See for me that wasn’t an issue. Like we know the CIA was up to a bunch of shady shit even though we don’t know the how or even that it would be impossible (I thought the why of the tethered experiment was pretty clear). I just accepted that the tethered was something the CIA did in the MKUltra times and that they…

Yeah, and for me that wasn’t a huge problem for enjoying Us. It’s not like consciousness transfers don’t have a lot of conceptual problems even with how they explained it in Get Out.

You will like this one. It’s not as ambiguous with what’s going on as Us, but it definitely has that exciting ambitiousness, even if it’s a little messy, that makes a Jordan Peele movie and opening day thing for me. Also he makes amazing use of his expanded budget. It’s one of the best looking movies I have seen in…

It’s definitely different in vibe than Moon. The book is pretty comedic and the main character is completely aware that he’s a clone from the start and retains all memories with each reboot (well sort of, it depends on when he last backed his memories up). I think its a very good match for Bong, with its mix of comedy…

I see your point, but I can also see how “birthing” or “menstruating” women might not appreciate being reduced to their body parts/ability to give birth. Cis/trans is at least neutral in this context. I feel like detaching reproduction from gender is better for all women, and these terms only serve to reinforce.

I don’t think there’s too much of a worry about this happening. The fact that the producers can just change the rules at any moment means that they can goose things as necessary to keep Jinkx or queens they want in the final 4. Also, given that the judges aren’t giving many negative comments combined with the fact…

According to an interview with Liu, his junior agent pushed really hard for him to join the cast, saying the Barbie script was the best script he had read that year.

This isn’t a gender thing.

Why are you reading recaps of a Season 3 episode then? Spoiler warnings shouldn’t be required for episodes of shows that aired over 2 years ago. It should be obvious that a Season 3 ep recap might refer to events that happened previously on the show, even if you aren’t there yet.

On For All Mankind, Reagan was elected in 1976, so he was no longer eligible to run in 1984. Also I feel like the Reagan administration was less popular at the end of Season 2 (aka 1983) than it was in our timeline. 

Sure, but doing something is better than doing nothing.

I think part of what made Crash so hard to watch for a lot of viewers wasn’t just the content, it was that it was presented in such an odd, clinical way. I once heard it described as “porn for aliens,” which seems very accurate. Despite all the characters finding the car/sex stuff extremely erotic, Cronenberg presents…

The trailer for this already has stuff that’s at least as gnarly as anything in Videodrome (which for me isn’t even the most extreme Cronenberg as far as body horror goes, but that’s definitely a matter of what squicks you out more).

77X has already been delayed to 2025, plus its probably not needed for this kind of flight. Better to get a used 777 or even a recently retired 747-400.

I imagine “leave of absence” has a specific legal meaning regarding Finch’s employment. It’s possible they can’t take certain actions against her while she’s in that status.

There won’t be any net gain to Florida. Disney already pays state and local property taxes. It just doesn’t have to pay as many of them because they also provide a lot of infrastructure to themselves that would usually be provided by a local government. This arrangement actually cost Disney more from a financial…
