Gotta love how Netflix was like, “Sweet, people loved our show about how modern capitalism is so nightmarish that people will play a horrific and terrifying game just to survive!

House of Yes is so great and so bizarre. It doesn’t matter how much time passes either. It will always be exactly as insane as the day it was released. I’ve noticed that whenever Tori Spelling wants to be taken seriously, to this day, she will have herself billed as “from House of Yes”. Always makes me laugh. Deep

Get ready to never look at Kiefer Sutherland the same ever again.

Yeah, I was just thinking that her entire career started with a series of pitch black indie comedy/thrillers. From Freeway to SFW to Election, then she transitioned into the mainstream with equally dark or satirical movies from Fear to Pleasantville to Cruel Intentions to American Psycho. I’d say that audiences were

Exactly what I thought. I literally suspect that he may be a remodeled statue from an old Scooby Doo exhibit. The funny part is that, when they do this, it’s probably because people told them for years that the Freddie Prinze Jr statue looked too much like The Rock. It’s like that weird Trump/Hillary animatronic from

Yeah, I have a hard time envisioning it, but Hugh Jackman is a total musical theater dork like 90% of the time, so I would absolutely give him a lot of leeway. Plus, I’ve been pretty impressed with the atypical moves he’s made careerwise post-Potter. If he feels like he can do it and Marvel agrees, then I would be

It may have very well been the most frustrating finale of all time. Between the under-30-minute runtime, the willful refusal to clarify obscured plotlines, and the weirdly incomplete-even-for-a-cliffhanger ending, it was like they got halfway through filming it when the strike happened and they just decided to go with

I’m having an absolute blast with Fall of the House of Usher. Had to stop myself from watching the whole thing in a single eight hour blast. The tone is just so spooky and fun and the Poe stories and references are so well integrated within this big gleefully-watch-the-Sackler-family-get-destroyed-by-death-itself

I forgot about that. Man, I loved that game. 

Yeah, that’s what I’ve always thought too, although I do like the idea that The Thing is already dead and they’re both just suiciding out of pure paranoia. I’ve never even heard the eye thing before. 

I wish they would adapt my favorite element of those books, the way that every chapter ends on a fake-out cliffhanger.

To be clear, I am not one of those people. By about midway, Walt is a villain, pure and simple. I’m just talking more about leveraging strengths rather than kind of action-movie-ing his way into a slightly redemptive end. Honestly, I prefer Better Call Saul as a better structured show, regardless.

Yeah, that really doesn’t surprise me. I’ve always thought that the machine gun swivel was a bit of a letdown of a solution, in general. I just think that it would have been more thematically and narratively consistent for him to use chemistry to solve the final problem. A swivel isn’t even tangentially all that

Man, I absolutely loved that. I was so excited to see what Benson and Morehead could bring to it and was not the least bit disappointed. Their movies have a lot of great dialogue and make excellent use of ideas over unnecessary spectacle. That was so evident here. It was just fun as hell to watch. I think a part of

Don’t recall it from the comics, but I assume that it’s what the General and the agents were marching through time doors to go execute. 

I mean, I would call “Beau is Afraid” a straight up comedy. A very dark comedy, leaning far into Lynch-esque subjectivity, but a comedy nonetheless. It was fucking hilarious. 

“My client rebukes sexiness in all it’s forms and functions. He would have it known that he is a beady-eyed, snively kind of man who inspires only pensive, worried feelings in all those who cross his path. If you wish to engage further on this topic, please contact the Dalai Lama for more warnings.”

I’ve been considering watching it all day, actually. Think I’ll give it a shot. Love me some Benecio. I’ve had good luck giving more obscure films a try recently, anyway. Watched one the other day called “Nandor Fodor and the talking mongoose”. Found it thoroughly charming. Great cast and a truly sweet little story.

I mean, it’s the cat, right? Every single thing about this trailer is exactly positioned for a reveal that it was, somehow, the cat all along.
