*Fresh Horses. My local UHF station played that seemingly all the time when I was a kid.

I was elated when they got back together a few years ago, but yeah... I may have to quietly consign them to that category of bands that I used to love but aren’t really for me anymore. I’ll try the new record out, anyway.

I was wondering this, too. She had nice things to say about him in her memoir.

The camera loves the hell out of her, that’s for damn sure.

Definitely a great payoff to that moment from Age of Ultron!

I thought it was fine until the usual late-period-Mark-Millar ickiness crept in, and that McNiven art was beautiful. Glad I didn’t bother with any of the follow-ups, anyway.

That script reportedly involved Buzz Lightyear getting recalled and shipped to a factory in Taiwan and the other toys going to rescue him. It sounds like ass.

I’ll admit I didn’t like his character or arc on Slings & Arrows (it struck me as too broad).

A perfect choice for this column! And a chatterbox to boot. Excellent.

I guess I’ll cop to being naive enough to take it at face value. I could buy Glenn Close knowing some shit.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but as someone who was rooting for/ assuming Boseman, I can’t really argue when the alternative is Anthony fucking Hopkins.

I kind of loved Emma, but I’m an easy target for that sort of thing. And holy shit, does the camera love Anya Taylor-Joy or what? I’m interested to see what Autumn De Wilde does next.

Apropos of her first anecdote and a fun fact for literary dorks like myself: Her Mom is the poet Kim Addonizio.

I wonder who they’ll cast as Riff Randell in this one.

I mean, he was also that prick from Your Friends & Neighbors...

Well, you might get your wish depending on how much Shang-Chi resembles the comics...

Or something more creative like “Porcutron”... no, that sounds like a sex robot, never mind.

Probably not! I just saw Emma, so the Nighy breathe-and-mutter method is fresh in my head.

I saw On Stranger Tides after being assigned to review it for the site I was writing for at the time. I hadn’t seen any of the earlier sequels, which was weird, since I had greatly (and unexpectedly) enjoyed the first one. I wound up liking On Stranger Tides fine, and was surprised to see the consensus so going negativ…

I try to give a wide berth to the whole “recognitions vs. everybody” scrum, but that’s a pretty solid burn.
