We binged the delightful trash fest that is Bridgerton. I did not realize how much I wanted to see a super horny version of Downton Abbey.

Yes, seconded on Harley Quinn. After a couple of iffy first episodes it really settled into a groove and got very funny. 

Oh man, ASM2 gets my vote for worst Spider Man film. That ending just tromps on the best moment in the movie - where Spidey saves that kid from bullies and then talks about his science project. Plus they cut to black before we get to a decent fight scene. 

That scene on the Queensboro Bridge - with the crowd throwing tire irons and bottles at the Green Goblin to save Spidey, while shouting “you attack one of us, you attack all of us” - is the godamned corniest thing in the world.

This is amazing on so many levels.

Nah, if it sucks they’ll just blame Geoff Johns and Walter Hamada for interfering with God Snyder’s vision, and the next cut will be truly brilliant #ReleaseTheREALSnyderCut 

I am so sick of this garbage movie. I’m so sick of Fisher’s vague insinuations. Super sick of Snyder fanboi who are sure this four hour joyless slog will be better than Citizen Kane. I get HBOMax for free, and I’m not spending any time in February watching this. For all of WW84’s flaws, I’d rather watch that a dozen

FUCK YOU, SHORESY!

Oh believe me, ALL the Quebec degens are from Laval. 

Discovered this in quarantine and have been continually delighted by it. I really don’t care much about the plots, I’m in it for the hangout vibe.

Certainly sounds vague enough where “remedial action” could mean literally anything. I now have even less interest in seeing the long version of this turgid snoozefest

Now playing

I love this short film from the NFB in Canada, with Norman Mclaren animating jazz by Oscar Peterson.

Maybe Tim Roth? He can be extra bitter during the Harry Potter chapters.

Jeez, between him and Terry Gilliam, I wish the Monty Python crew would just shut the fuck up about trans people. (Gilliam was saying some similar wacky shit last year about how he identifies as a black woman.) I grew up memorizing Python routines and Brazil is one of my favorite movies and it sucks to see your idols

“What’s with the red pajamas? You look stupid. Zoom!”

I agree. NXIVM in episode one sounds like a mash up of self-help religions. Some parts of Scientology, the Forum, the Secret, etc. It seems pretty harmless. If you don’t show why people would want to join, it just seems like only idiots would do this. No one is signing up if the pitch is “let me get some nude photos

Yeah, 80's wrestling was just full of stereotypes - WWF had the Iron Sheik (evil A-rab), Junkyard Dog (black man with a dog collar), and Kamala (black witch doctor) just to name a few. And while GLOW did explore some of the friction between the characters playing them and the racial stereotypes, they never went that

Yeah, the “kidnap the governor” lines all seemed noticeably out of sync, which made me think the joke was going to be that the FBI were framing a bunch of burger crazed losers for the kidnap plot. 

Completely agree, the shows seem to be flying by. It seemed like the debate and monologue went long, so they cut the actual 10 to 1 sketch. There was some weird cutting back to a bumper after the ad break post-Sam Adams, then right back to more ads then straight to the good nights.

While not everything worked, it was great to see some edginess in an SNL monologue. Too often, performers come on SNL that I think will be good only to have them get ground down by the formulaic nature of the show. Burr kept his edge and persona intact. Also, Kate’s “I’m obviously not” added to the more unpolished
