Theatre of Blood and The Abominable Dr Phibes are probably tied as my two favorites. He's just so delightful at campy horror.

“Why are you dressed like someone died?”

Marshall’s small role in Lost in America is one of the funniest scenes ever filmed.

That advice from Matthau is wonderful. Do a good job, be professional, learn about the people you’re working with, and be the kind of person other people want to work with. Hard to go wrong with that. He’s one of my favorite actors so I’m glad to hear good things about him behind the scenes, too.

“... and the short film Pariah, about a young lesbian woman leading a double life to avoid rejection and ridicule.”

He just wants his kids back.

And they hired Sam Raimi to direct it. And while he's not new to whimsical or general superhero fare, he's also quite adept at horror (and horror comedy!) So I'm pretty excited to see what he does with the first horror film in the MCU.

“Ring ring.”

For me it’s this one, Patrick Stewart’s “I’ve seen everything,” and the “I hate jazz” scene from Samuel L. Jackson’s episode.

“I should really know what’s going on. [Laughs] It is a strange—it looks like Tony Hopkins, but it’s not!”

I had never really managed to get into the Uncharted games on their initial release for the PS3. I liked the sense of humor, I liked the action-adventuring, the exploration, the Indiana Jones emulation inherent in going through ancient ruins and solving puzzles with artifacts in order to find lost cities. But I hated…

“I don’t think it was used even after Reagan was shot.”

Pretty amusing Twitter thread about how this project came about:

“But that will hardly stop Mrs. Featherington...”

I thought the movie was just okay. Very pretty to look at, but all of the character relationships were hollow. That being said, while Clooney may be an optimistic guy, this was not an optimistic film.

You mean like this?

I’m sad not seeing Tell Me Why on here. That was a wonderful game and a great follow-up to the Life is Strange series. As much as I enjoyed stuff like AC Valhalla and FF7 Remake and Xenoblade Chronicles, smaller stuff like this was a real treat this year too.

I enjoyed this one. It didn’t quite pull off what it was going for (a recreation of a Douglas Sirk film if Sirk had been black and been allowed to make a black love story during the height of the studio system), but it’s still enjoyable. The sets are wonderful, the soundtrack is fantastic (especially love the use of…

There never used to be one near me. But when the pandemic hit, the Philadelphia Film Society stacked a few shipping containers in a public park and put a large projection screen on top of them and set up a pop-up drive-in. It was really the most ingenious thing and it’s given me so much cinematic pleasure this year, I…
