You’re both going to love it. It’s the perfect introduce-your-kids-to-every-weird-thing-without-freaking-them-out-too-much show. Plus it’s just a charming, hilarious, and intriguing ride.

The thing that drives me nuts about “Dial of Destiny” is the gigantic plot hole that leads into the climax. It blows my mind that nobody else seems to even notice it. It’s so glaring to me. The whole twist depends on the idea that the nazis are basing their math on Archimedes original equations which didn’t account…

Can. Not. Wait. I’ll watching this at 3am tonight on the AMC+ sub that I bought specifically and exclusively for this show. I love it so much. It was just the best idea ever to get playwrights to run and write this show. Not only is the dialogue unusually lyrical, layered, and poignant, but the plotting is wonderfully…

Personally, I’m still pretty partial to Apocalypse Costner.

Yes, I admire a certain amount of convoluted specificity in  sadistic mormon-traps.

I guess. I mean, there are only three characters in Enemy Mine. And one of them is a baby. I feel like that can only be stretched so far. Does it actually say that it’s a series somewhere? I didn’t see it specified. I think it’d still work as a film. It’s almost like a stage play. But whatever, after 12 Monkeys and…

“I’m getting this pebble out of my boot and if Brainiac destroys the city before I get it out, then that’s just what happens.”

Two things:

I think people are more worried about the fact that, for the MCU, reshoots have become a production philosophy that appears from the outside to have compromised a number of recent projects. It’s getting easier and easier to seem the seams.

This could be really great if they return to the book and hit it more closely. Ende was a really wonderful writer and there was a lot lost in translation from german to english and then from page to screen. I hope this is successful because I would love to see some of his other novels get adapted, particularly “Momo”. 

Wait, so he hung the pheasant in order to honor the gift? I thought he was aging it to make some kind of food. Why would hanging a rotting bird honor the gift? I don’t understand the intention there in either culture. 

Coming out of the theater yesterday, every person I could see was talking about how great this cover was. Black really fully commits to these songs when he sings them. It’s infectious. Now I want him to do Toxic.

Also, I’ve read basically the diametric opposite of this review on another site, so it seems like it’s pretty subjective. Granted, maybe that one was biased for one reason or another. Or maybe this one is. Most likely, it’s just the kind of thing that’s going to generate strong responses either way.

Man, I’m still not used to the digital cleanup work on old photographs. I swear that you used to not be able to see individual strands of hair on historical beards. Look how clear that shit is! You can see his pockmarks. 

I’m pretty sure that he’s lowkey blacklisted. The successful lawsuit against AMC seems to have curtailed all of his plans by convincing the studios that he cannot be trusted. Which is ridiculous, but it is what it is.

I’m sure the strikes didn’t help. With another couple incoming, too. It’s a rough time to be in show business unless you’re already extremely successful.

Also that Stone Temple Pilots song, “Big Empty”. That’s like their best song. And I’ve never even really liked that band much beyond that song.

To be clear, I don’t mean this to be taken in any kind of judgmental or dismissively mocking light, but... um... does that poem sound sort of sexual to anyone else? Because it sounds kind of aggressively sexual to me, but it can’t be, right? Because no one would post something that nakedly awkward and odd if it were a…

Hell, you can watch it right now on Youtube. It’s been on there for a long time. That’s how I watched it. It’s interesting. I’m hoping that the Netflix version is a little more compelling. The pacing on the Chinese series crawls. 

It’s the cat, right? That was my immediate guess all the way from the first trailer. Still my guess. The cat is the spy. That’s why it takes so much exposition to make sense. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but surprised if I am.
