An “A” review that spends multiple opening paragraphs gushing about how just gosh-darn awesome James Cameron is before quietly admitting “Well, okay, the first third of the movie is all drag-y exposition” is not what I would call confidence-inspiring.

Twenty?

Rewatching Hot Fuzz is always a solid plan.

Ugh. Colman is a treasure and of course Roger Deakins is one of the greatest cinematographers ever to live, but is there anything more gratingly self-congratulatory than high-concept films about “the magic of movies?” Oh wait, and it’s also another reminder that Thatcher was bad? How very timely!

Maybe we need a “for experts” version of this review like the old AV Club used to do for the Game of Thrones review, because man, the plot of the third book...

“So yeah that album with the song by your wife about how much she love having sex with someone who’s not you? Congrats it’s your biggest hit ever and the one that will be remembered for generations after you’re all gone.”

Tired: Lone Wolf and Cub, but Star Wars

All gonna depend on whether Disney is footing the bill for pay-to-play media inserts.

This new season has become to mark a hard reboot on the long-running series

I find your ideas fascinating and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Honestly, gotta respect the AV club for cashing the checks on a nigh-fucking-endless stream of Black Adam tie-in adverticles (Dwayne Johnson reveals... his favorite Black Adam catering table snacks!) and then turning around and giving the movie the Gentleman’s F.

If this news has hit you in the (queen of) heart(s), you can always pass the time by playing a little solitaire.

Yeah, my bet is “not a chance” but I would be delighted to be wrong.

They’re ah, going to some lengths to not mention the point that Asriel’s war is literally against god.

If there is any justice in the world, Siobhán McSweeney will go on to become unstoppably famous after this show.

Suddenly I realize that the sequel writes itself now.

IT CROSSED THE VASTNESS OF SPACE TO BANG OUR STRIPPERS, STEAL OUR CARS, ROB OUR BANKS AND FIRE OUR GUNS. ONLY ONE MAN CAN STOP IT.

Glad to see MacLachlan giving The Hidden a shout-out. A completely underrated gem of a movie — right up there with Tremors in the now-extinct genre of “movies you’d find on the back shelf of your video store, rent on a whim and then spend the next two years forcing all of your friends to watch.”

I can’t see that photo of Grace Jones without remembering the story of her torturing Roger Moore by hiding an enormous dildo in the sheets of the set bed they had to film in, and constantly poking him with it.  Good times.
