A League of Their Own very much ended on a cliffhanger.

Well, did you?

I was pretty dismissive of Reeve for a lot of years, but rewatching those movies as an adult, it was clear how absolutely perfect he was for that role.

There was a film critic—I want to say Richard Roeper, but I’m not sure without looking it up—who said that the acting is usually the last thing to go wrong with a movie, and I think this is generally true. I suppose if I’m a critic looking for something nice to say about a work, I’m defaulting to the performances.

I like the suggestion of him for Lex better, though I suppose a lot of it will come down to how the new Lex and Superman mesh.

I still wish they hadn’t killed off Ben Urich.

A Marcus Theatres man, I see.

I’m doing the same right now as S2 is airing (risking spoilers as I go!) and I’m interested to see where it all winds up.

I’ve been saying since before this movie went into production that they should have gotten Tom Hanks for a cameo as a redemptive move for Mazes & Monsters. I bet he would have done it, especially since we’re talking late-career Hanks here.

That’s Themberchaud! There is actually a canonical reason from the game why he’s fat. Surreal that they would use him in a movie. 

What About Bob?

I’m a D&D nerd, so I’m hoping for the best for this movie, but this review does have a “Use my pull quote in the marketing vibe” to it, yeah.

I assume she’s in it, or else there’s a pretty major plot thread that’s going to get dropped or resolved off-screen.

I was fine with the more ensemble-y nature of last season, but I’m a sucker for Amy Sherman-Palladino and am happy to just to let her characters breathe and watch them go.

What an incredibly depressing read.

Same. Look totally works for Garner, too.

Best scene in the whole movie. I’ve gone on here about it before, but I love it: You can see Liz inadvertently giving her Dad all the information he needs to figure out who Peter really is; you can see Toomes figuring it out in real time as she talks and he looks at them in the rearview mirror; and you can see Peter re…

I recently rewatched Man Bites Dog for the first time in 20+ years and came to a similar realization. Middle-age me was more bothered by it in ways I couldn’t define.

Hey, now, let’s not use this to disparage Galaxy Quest. 

My feeling was that we were due for a suave Bond again, having swung hard into grim action for the Craig era.
