ah yes, the vast woke conspiracy to give Wonka good reviews.

he was a very cool guy in the 70s when he was on SNL. Just look at him in The Long Goodbye.

Yeah, it looked awful. Hopefully that’s all a work in progress and the CGI will be improved. And hopefully there are a lot of practical effects in the movie that for some reason were not included in the trailer.

The implication of the critique here is that older people should not be allowed to date in real life either as they can no longer handle the ups and downs of romance. These folks are probablly not as fragile emotionally as implied here. They’ve already survived through a lot of crap in their lives.

Lifetime pass for making Eagle versus Shark and WWDITS for me.

I really didn’t read it anti-semitic. I am surprised at this kerfuffle as her comments seem pretty mild and measured. Susan Sarandon on the other hand, definitely anti-semitic. Tankies like her are always like that.

The greatest trick capitalism ever pulled was making people think they were morally righteous for buying a particular product from a giant corporation.

I think the sleep demon sketch was inspired by the new Nicholas Cage movie Dream Scenario but it was still baffling.

If I was middle aged magazine journalist like Larsson then I too would create a character who is a middle aged magazine journalist that solves crimes and almost every woman with a pulse wants to sleep with.

Billy Eichner is no Robin Williams or Nathan Lane. 

The Birdcage is fantastic.

Jezebel being weirldy snarky about the ‘delay’ in them making a statement: “As Tributes to Matthew Perry Pour in, the World Awaits Word From His ‘Friends’ Co-Stars” https://jezebel.com/as-tributes-to-matthew-perry-pour-in-the-world-awaits-1850972012

It was awful but I preferred when Bad Bunny was speaking Spanish as his English was far too diffident for comedy.

Midnight Mass is best for me. Not subtle at all by the end. Some full on gore. But I thought it was one of the best Stephen King adapatations (not actually written by Stephen King).

I assume there’s a saving in the sense that the band does not have to pay out for big screens. It’s all there in the venue. And U2 really love those kind of screens. The Killers’ connection to Las Vegas would make them a good choice alright. Radiohead would be amazing. The venue is so expensive that I guess you…

Coldplay have been suggested but they are far from cool.

The Chinese Communist Party will have vengeance I guess.

I respect hm for sacrificing his Hollywood career in favor of agitating for Tibet. A pity the big studios are so in thrall to the Chinese government.

Generally quite a fair list, but Mighty Like A Rose is Elvis Costello’s last good album IMO.

Barsanti is a white guy reviewing pop culture. He’s got no choice but to lean hard into performative wokeness.
