It kind of reminded me of a WWE promo

To me, The Meg’s greatest frustration and biggest success is the scene where the love interest sees Jason Statham without his shirt on and forgets that she was going to chew him out for causing the death of her friend. Then she naughtily sneaks another peak through a porthole, because Jason Statham’s chest makes you…

Thomas Middleditch was in an actual AI-written sci-fi short, wasn’t he? And Keanu has experience with evil clones/robots. They should do the right thing and release all the footage so we can each edit our own version.

That Politico article was not great. I don’t think AOC’s politics are shocking or extreme, and it’s sad our political establishment sees them as such.

It’s a superhero film. They turn Irish to fight crime.

Like that first track here, the segue from Pete Seeger into O Death. Will try the more metal ones later.

It’s the accepted nomenclature on most ASOIAF boards. Just quicker to type

I don’t disagree, but they and other staples of bad writing have proliferated. There’s more plot armor, silly reversals to shock, thinly written characters, deus ex machina and padding than ever before.

They are still very good at spectacle and climactic sequences: it’s just the writing that has degraded terribly. I hope that D&D step their game up and think about the interior workings of Westeros as much as GRRM, like they did before, before the dark times, before the Sand Snakes.

So, still better than the last few seasons then.

Deep cut.

Sansa: Winterfell is yours, your grace.

I would watch an entire movie of Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams reacting in heavy Brooklyn accents to ridiculous things. You wouldn’t have to fill in the CGI or have a plot. Perhaps just film an improv session with them and call it “Venom 2.”

Initially I thought the Lobster’s first half was good satire and the second half went off the deep end into pointless non sequitur absurdity. But on second viewing the second half fit: Farrell tries to correct his lack of independence by joining another group paradoxically focused on one person’s dictatorial idea of…

I felt like it was an attempt to empower young viewers with autism, and although ham-handed and tone deaf like a lot of the movie, the least of its sins. The movie is like Dekker and Black’s Monster Squad for a little bit of its running time: a kid is having fun with monsters and defeating them.

Man’s Search For Meaning: Book by a Holocaust survivor about the general psychological state of people in the camps. Told from a detached clinical perspective way but all the more touching for its attempted lack of emotion. Incredibly sad fates of anonymous people are tossed off in passing. A friend gave this to me…

I recently watched Summer Rental and Summer School, also by Carl Reiner, directed one after the other. Both good, though to my surprise I thought Summer Rental held up better than Summer School.

That makes me feel better about humanity.

I appreciate your rant. I think the correction answer to “Why does God allow bad Transformers film to happen?” is “Bay films make money, and money is a higher consideration to business ventures than worth” or “There is no God” or “There is an inequality between the masses who desire a nostalgic itch (created in their…

Knight Rider: Three episodes of Knight Rider, two dealing with KITT’s nemesis KARR (in the first episode voiced by Peter Cullen/Optimus Prime) and one, entitled “Halloween Knight,” in which NBC Universal presumably had the rights to Psycho and so it uses the Psycho theme music and the Psycho house, and also has…
