I seem to have been sent back to the grays.  Wonder why?  Testing...testing...

This trend of throwing things down the memory hole forever can stop right fucking now, goddammit.

William Haines starred in “Show People”, one of the very best movies of the whole silent era.  Filled with cameos, really fun portrait of Hollywood moviemaking in 1928.

Too bad this article was presented as a slideshow, it would have been nice to read it.

Ha.  Seriously.  No doubt the White House is shaking with fear over this news.  Not polling that shows Iowa and Ohio to be toss ups, not polling that shows a shocking decline for the president among seniors.  Nope, it’ll be this that has Trump running scared.

Holy crap, you win the AV Club today for finding that comparison GIF.

Like all Pixar sequels except for Toy Stories 2 and 3, this one is inferior to the original. The problem is the big reveal is too obvious. It’s perfectly obvious that the Screenslaver is going to be one of the siblings, and it’s really not hard to guess which one.

The shot of the endless rows of desks is a direct lift from all-time great 1928 silent film “The Crowd”.

Es unx palabrx cromulentx.

Never seen a Marvel movie but I sure did enjoy watching “Agent Carter” and staring at Hayley Atwell every week.

Ugh, “Latinx”.

I have seen the first two and I don’t think the word “trilogy” is appropriate at all, since Blood of a Poet has no connection to Orpheus other than both being weird.

Resolved: All Pixar sequels are inferior to the originals except for Toy Story 2 and 3.

If you save your woman from the afterlife, but you are told by Death that you are never allowed to look her in the face, ever--you probably should divorce her.  Not just hang out with her in the same house until one day you forget and she disappears.

You didn’t miss anything.  I saw it in theaters and “dinosaur finds a human” is all I remember.  It’s a two-movie match between this and “Cars 2" for Worst Pixar Ever and this one probably wins; at least “Cars 2" has some interesting bits like the opening spy sequence.

Who?

I liked Branagh’s “Cinderella” way more than I thought I would.  You are correct in that the Jack Ryan movie was impossibly generic.

Death on the Nile is already in the can and is scheduled for release this fall, although who knows with COVID.  I am super-stoked about it.  I’d like to see him do another one, but not And Then There Were None, that’s been done to death.  (There’s a Russian version that’s supposed to be excellent, never seen it).

Disney probably dodged a bullet by not having to see what would have been disastrous box-office returns for this.

The reason why some of Riley’s emotions are dudes is obvious. Pixar/Disney marketing did not want to go with an all-girl cast.
