This was 2006, so....17 years? Shit I’m old.

I once had a meeting with the head of development at Prufrock, Meg Ryan’s old production company, and when I asked why they hadn’t produced more films she said “Meg lost interest. Plus, the stuff she did to her face....” and it was obvious. “Oh yeah, she’s...different looking now, isn’t she?”

It was so weird to see one…

Probably not. From the IMDB synopsis: “A former warrior, now turned monk, tells the story of how Arthur became the lord of war despite the illegitimacy of his throne.”

We’re currently watching the later seasons of Agents of SHIELD after the kid goes to bed and my god, does poor Leo Fitz go through some shit.  

Hard agree. Memento’s a great movie but Schizopolis is like watching a god at work. He’s like Jim Henson, he created life right in front of us.

I just can’t look at photos of present-day Nolan and not see Benny Hill in his prime.

Oh, hardly. From Marcia Gay Harden to Jeanne Tripplehorn to youngsters like 43 year-old Christina Ricci, I love me a grown woman. But 35 is, imho, too old to play Lois in a Superman: Year Two-style reimagining.

Probably because twice the number of shooting days means almost twice the budget (assuming they’re using many of the same sets and stages for both films), and astronomical budgets have been behind why so many tentpole, IP-based films have lost their shirts this year. The Flash wasn’t a good movie but it wouldn’t be…

Dang, that’s only making the lizard part of my brain dig in his heels that much harder. Because a lot of good friends, with tastes I respect, told me to watch Adventure Time and I just couldn’t. It looked awful to me, and the best writing and acting in the world couldn’t overcome that.

I want to like this but the animation style is so god awful that I can’t take more than a couple of minutes of it.

Unrelated Note! - Brosnahan is gonna be 35 when Superman: Legacy hits screens, and this makes no fucking sense. Why play up the “They’re young and it’s pre-almost everything! We’ll see them come into…

wouldn’t it be nice to see a movie where tom holland taps into all that fun charm he uses as spider-man? well, too bad, he’s gotta be serious and sad in everything else.

Eh, my son if he were 10 and not 7? It’s a really good movie, but if you’re a kid or tween then you’d better be pretty media-savvy, have Gen X/Elder Millenial parents, or both.

Took my 7-year old to this on Saturday and he liked it but didn’t love it. When I asked “Why?” he said the first half didn’t have enough jokes. I mean, I smiled from ear to ear through most of it but I’m dead-center Gen X and I get it that I shouldn’t expect him to get all the call-backs.  

It’s crazy to hear Max’s voice and try reconciling it with Paul Reubens. It was recorded pre-Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and Pee Wee’s Playhouse when Reubens was a mostly unknown stage and cabaret comic (with a few movie roles under his belt; Pandemonium and a Cheech & Chong movie iirc.)

And it’s obvious the producers…

When my wife and I moved into our current house she put Paul’s 10th grade school picture on the fridge as a “ringer.” Guests would try to guess who it was, or what family member. It’s been up for 11 years, and I know he was only 70, but in my mind he will forever be this sweet and awkward teenager:

if the actual conclusion is being kicked down the can.

A dozen years ago when Joss Whedon was shooting Avengers and the world knew nothing of his bullying ways, I held my breath for this dream casting of Reed Richards:

Now, I’m not saying they’re secretly into Santa-based Pet Play....but I’m also not not saying that either.
