I get the sense that Christopher Lloyd just enjoys working.  He always seems game to return to “Back to the Future” in any small ways.  Most recently, he surprised me in Bob Odenkirk’s “NOBODY” -- no big spoilers but Christopher Lloyd ends up doing a lot more in that movie than I expected him to do.

It’s interesting to me how Netflix likes to break old norms.

I’ve enjoyed going to movies at the Alamo Drafthouse (in Brooklyn) because they were maintaining “seat buffering” while other theater chains had gone back to full capacity. Of course, as the Delta Variant rages, they’ve done away with seat buffering.

The Rocka- who?

  • AirPods Pro can help you hear conversations better by boosting other voices and lowering ambient noise

... the film’s director Colin Trevorrow said the film would answer the question, if dinosaurs were among us, would we be safe?

You go back to the first MI and there’s big action but it’s mostly movie-magic wizardry (of the 90s).

Probably a wise move that they disabled comments on YouTube...

I know. Jungle Cruise and Movie Ride aren’t thrill rides. I think it’d be too much to ask a Cast Member to be present on each log to ride it continuously — and that would require multiple Tianas. My guess is that Tiana appears at the very beginning of the ride or, more likely, at the very end during the party sequence.

That was my thought, too. The (late) Great Movie Ride and Jungle Cruise are the big rides that depend on cast members.  I’m really curious how they’re going to do this.

It’s similar to how 20 Fl. Oz bottles of soda are more expensive than their 2 Liter counterparts. There’s a certain value in convenience.

Now playing

I never took the name “Sawyer” as a play on “Chainsaw” — I thought it was a reference to “SAWNEY BEAN”— the murderous, cannibalistic Scottish clan that inspired the Texas Chainsaw story.

I feel like the DCEU is basically whatever they feel like it being at any time, at this point. Doesn’t feel like there’s ever a hard canon. The Harley Quinns depicted in “Suicide Squad” and “Birds of Prey” and “The Suicide Squad” don’t feel like the same character to me. When she’s introduced in Ayer’s movie, she’s

I believe Galactus depicted as a cloud is more about some executives being uptight about it possibly looking too goofy, rather than the limitations of special effects. That’s the biggest barrier. Like Kevin Smith’s story about developing a Superman script with a producer who didn’t want Superman to have a cape.

Movie

I need a Weasel toy from The SUicide Squad.  They should merch him out like his inspiration, Bill the Cat.

I loved The Haunting of Hill House. It had one big jump scare each episode, but it also had extended scary sections. More importantly, I cared about the characters beyond the mechanics of the horror genre. I related to this dysfunctional family just trying to keep it together.

Fuck Max Landis (though the original Chronicle is the one project with his name on it that I liked).

I was a kid of the 80s too, and adored He-Man back in the day.

I played through The Last of Us II 4 times!

THIS. I worked on “The Knick”, which was a period piece that took place around 1900 NYC. It shot around NYC and there’s only so much you can do with dressing a street. I visited one of their sets once and it was obvious, they were going to have to digitally paint out things like AC’s in windows and electrical lines.
