Not as pathetic as some people’s need to defend  sexual predators and abusive creeps because they want to normalize how they identify with them.

The Pentaverate will be the actor’s first return to the silver screen since appearing in 2018's Bohemian Rhapsody

Did you know you can buy those chairs for your home? Did you also know that the Back to the Future Blu-rays have not only the BTTF: The Ride video from the now-defunct ride at Universal but also all the motion programming, and that if you hook your Blu-ray player up to the chair, you can ride BTTF: The Ride?

Anyway,…

Everybody’s excited to have Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan, but I’m more excited for Bonnie Piesse to return as Aunt Beru. Ewan McGregor is a movie star who has had a fine career in the past 20 years. Joel Edgerton, likewise, has done alright for himself. Piesse has had sporadic bit parts and appearances in shorts, so…

Oh thank God, I was really concerned if this was going to be canon. Glad we could clear that up.

Drake is early thirties in the first game so Holland is definitely being pitched as a somewhat younger model. It’s not perfect but I can buy it. Wahlberg is awful casting though. Should have gotten Bruce Campbell. Anyone that’s seen Burn Notice knows what a perfect Sully he’d make.

Bruce Campbell as Reed Richards

I tend to agree with your reticence about this project because I don’t know what it is about modern productions in general, but they seem unable to execute a story without a whole bunch of flashy formatting nonsense that leads nowhere in terms of payoff, especially when its an adaptation of like footnotes and pseudo-hi…

I knew it was a real long shot, both because it’s an A24 film, which seems to be almost completely ignored, and also because any discussion of award attention seemed to fizzle out soon after the release, but I was really holding out hope for a nomination for Dev Patel in The Green Knight. Alas, nothing.

You don’t understand progressivism

“It is worth repeating at this point the theories that Ford had come up with, on his first encounter with human beings, to account for their peculiar habit of continually stating and restating the very very obvious, as in “It’s a nice day,” or “You’re very tall,” or “So this is it, we’re going to die.”

His first theory…

“Like, for instance, eight months ago, if you said ‘if you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID,’ you would be removed from social media. They would ban you from certain platforms.”

I don’t think anybody ever claimed that getting vaccinated would mean you couldn’t catch or spread COVID, just that it reduced the likelihood dramatically, which is still true. I don’t think any experts have ever said straight up that cloth masks don’t work, just that they’re not as effective as N95's, which is still…

If it was the other way around, they would be whining about making Minnie too sexy.

You can’t lose the fight if the stance is genuine. You win when they say ‘no’ and you win when they say ‘yes’, because they’ve had to respond.

The fact is right now people have to weight getting sick to go see a movie and I suspect it will still be that way in March. People will make that choice for a Marvel movie it seems but I don’t think an animated kids movie is gonna move that needle for most.

It’s sad that this pandemic has been 3 Pixar releases long. That being said, Soul and Luca were the best movies Pixar has released since Inside Out and better than any of the Disney-branded animated features in the last decade.

When I saw Home Alone as a 6-year-old, I didn’t realize just how insanely wealthy and privileged the McAllister family had to be for any of the premise to work. Very easy to imagine Kevin existing in the exact same bubble. (Heck, only in recent years did I start to piece together how relatively well-off my family was…
