I was looking forward to “The Horrors of Delores Roach” when it was a limited series podcast drama — though was kind of disappointed when I realized it was clearly “Sweeney Todd” without the songs. I was just looking forward to something completely original and not a new spin on a familiar story.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES!

When I first read rumors about the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, I thought it could potentially be the coolest thing ever and wondered about saving enough to afford to try it once. Then the influencer videos started coming out and it quickly appeared to be something I would NOT be interested in. Now, that whole…

I always think of this quote from Spider-Man producer Avi Arad back in 2014:

Chilled monkey brains, loved it! That dinner scene is like a series of Halloween gags for children. I was NOT an adventurous eater as a child so it was also the right mix of funny/scary for me.

I am so relieved this is a positive review of Temple of Doom.

I would expect Fox X-Men cameos in the big new Deadpool & Wolverine “48 Hours” movie. What I’m intrigued by (and would be happy if they managed to keep it more of a surprise) is the prospect of MCU cameos. Deadpool under the banner of Disney and all the shared universe that could create.

it’s been made clear that the goal is to keep the franchise going with or without Reeves

Bay’s a filmmaker who’s gotten worse over the years - an action director who’s surprisingly bad at shooting and cutting coherent action sequences and is worse at establishing characters or creating comedy (even when he’s featuring some of the best comedic performers). And he had a lock on those movies for so long, it…

I loooved that.

Games based on big IP have a spotty record, but then there’s AAA properties like Spider-Man. These latest games have been sensational but he’s had some cool games going back to the 16-bit platformer era.

That’s my thinking. I feel like Star Wars as a franchise makes the galaxy look a little small. Each planet seems to have one environment: desert planet, swamp planet, city planet, casino planet. And there never seems to be a significant passage of time traveling to any planet. Like, “Today, I think I’ll stop by the…

The entire F&F franchise is about ALPHAS tryna out-alpha each other. Every fight scene, every sex scene, every family scene, every light comedy scene. And I can only imagine what the BTS looks like trying to make a franchise like this work with all of those personalities.

It’s a lovely documentary and I’m glad it’s staying.

Loved Dark Fate — saw it twice in theaters. For me, The Terminator, T2 and Dark Fate are a strong series.

I’m sure Universal would love to exploit that BTTF IP but Zemeckis and Gale have some kind of lock on the rights, so there’s a limit to what they can do with it until those guys are long gone.

When I watched it as a kid in the 80s, I didn’t question any of the rules.

I loved Gremlins so much as a kid that I read that novelization! I just remember some detail about the gremlins liking to eat cardboard. There was a Gremlins cereal at the time -- and it had a distinctly cardboard aftertaste. As if the makers of the cereal were trying to create something that would fit into the…

- Got a name, dad?

Thank you -- I’m glad someone else brought it up. “Gizmo” is a name that the father gives him because he’s an inventor.
