Semi-related story: My mother has always had a pathological fear of blimps. It actually turned her against the entire concept of therapy when, as a young woman, a psychologist tried to suggest that it had something to do with a generalized fear of penises likely stemming from childhood trauma. She rejected that…

“Cilian Murphy is jaw-dropping in Oppenheimer!” 

I think you’re kinda misreading that scene. It’s Bubs who is being wistful, thinking that he’s explaining to another admirer about how much better it was for the addicts. When Colvin asks him if it was a good thing, hoping for some validation for everything that he sacrificed, Bubs misreads it as judgement and gets…

Random Kind of Hilarious and Weird Fact: at one point, she tried to reach out to Meryl Streep on twitter. Luckily, her state of mine was skewed to such a degree that she wasn’t able to detect the level of off-putting creepiness that would be conveyed by tweeting a one-line quote from “The Witch” asking Meryl Streep if…

Glad he’s okay. He’s one of those character actors that I always perk up to see in things. I still have my dvds of the first and only season of “Invasion”, the great Wiliam Fitchner Everglades body snatcher show that ended way too early for reasons that never made sense.

Man, he was one of my absolute favorites. Sometimes he would just pop up in these tiny little almost cameo roles and end up being one of the funniest things in the movie. Like in “America’s Sweethearts”.

I’m lowkey kinda hoping that this ends up being Tarantino’s first big post-”retirement” non-movie project; a 4-6 episode streaming miniseries finale/sequel to Kill Bill with Uma Thurmon and Maya Hawke trying to escape a seemingly unstoppable Zendaya wielding multiple Hatori Hanzo swords in a neon pink vinyl murder-suit…

I hesitate to even remark upon this, as public stances on Weezer tend to date a person in a strangely unfavorable way, but I will say that I followed Matt Sharp away from Weezer a long time ago and have yet to find any reasonable cause to regret that decision. 

At this point, I probably think of “Rose Red” first, but that’s just because I’ve seen it more and never, ever want to watch Boxing Helena again in this life. I recognize that it is a distinctive and challenging piece of art, but that does not obligate me to watch it twice.

No receiver, just a soundbar. I do have a number of cats in here, though, so maybe that’s exacerbating the issue for both. Either way, even just playing it through in performance you can tell that it’s using every single inch of the system architecture at full blast. It’s a staggeringly gorgeous game.

Have you had any weird shutdowns? My PS5 AND the TV itself randomly shut off twice, which has never happened to me before with any game. Just cut off without warning or freeze. It stopped happening when I switched to performance and left it there, but now I’m afraid to turn graphic mode back on because I worry that…

They don’t really even have to kill him off. On that show, it would be perfectly acceptable if there were just a scene where he’s riding out in a field and this coyote shows up and Dutton rides out after it and then is just missing for multiple seasons only to show back up whenever his schedule is clear with some…

It was extremely obvious that it was supposed to be Keaton at the end. The Clooney joke wasn’t worth sacrificing the thematic resolution that the original ending would’ve provided. At. All. Add to that the vanished Keaton/Batgirl (Beyond) movie and it’s pretty disappointing. No wonder the original test screenings…

I’ve gotta admit, you took the thought right out of my mind with the “almost suspiciously famous John Hannah” line. 

That’s the thing, though. It all takes place in a few speed forced nanoseconds. He takes a hot burrito mid-cook out of a falling microwave and replaces it with a baby. Then, when time returns to normal speed and all of the babies are safely revealed to the nurse lined up on the gurney, the microwave dings and Flash…

“Yes yes, Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people’s needs. Very sad life. Probably have... very sad death. But, at least... there is symmetry.”

Well, this won’t help with the blu rays, but VR headsets are 3D compatible. It’s kind of amazing, actually. If you have a digital file of a 3D film, then you can watch it in a virtual theater. I use it in my Oculus sometimes. It’s insanely customizable. So, if you ever wanted to watch Avatar in 3D on a thousand foot…

I’m fairly certain that it’s a misdirect and they are actually testing him for Lex Luthor. Which, if you’ve seen “The Great”, he is more than up to. He’s surprisingly adept at portraying subtly layered yet theatrical villainy.

I think the real question here is whether or not Wes Anderson is technologically savvy enough to locate despecialized editions.

I think “The Smoking Crooner” was my favorite. “PEOPLE WANNA KILL ME, JAMES!”
