I’m continuing through the second season of Star Trek Next Gen. I just finished an episode in which a civilisation is forced to decide the method of its own extermination: either by lack of genetic diversity, or by intermarriage with the Irish. Unfortunately, I watched this alone, so I wasn’t able to immediately…

So I saw Spider Man Far From Home and.....I liked it better than Ant Man 2 that’s for sure.

Nick Cutter, The Troop. A troop of Scouts get stranded on an island where a mysterious ailment that makes people voraciously, insanely hungry starts to spread. It feels like a solid mix of James Herbert’s gory ‘70s novels, with a heavy dose of body horror, and a Stephen King story from the ‘80s about the end of…

The movie they made to tie up the show just came out, and brother, was it good.

Rip Torn led a life. He embodied some great characters and there’s a hell of a bunch of absolutely bonkers stories surrounding the guy. He’ll be missed.

As a science fiction fan, I’m used to suspending my disbelief. But I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the movie Yesterday. I can believe that somehow, this failed singer/songwriter/musician woke up in a world where The Beatles never existed. But I can’t believe that he would become a star by recording Beatles…

I sold my house, then bought another house. Then I moved. Oh my god I hate my stuff and wish I’d just set a match to it and started over.

The 1976 Larry Hagman Sherlock Holmes TV movie, The Return of the World’s Greatest Detective. Found on Youtube. I always like the Holmes comedies. Coach from Cheers is in it too. There is a 1987 TV movie and failed pilot with Margaret Colin as Watson called The Return of Sherlock Holmes that is also on Youtube. It’s…

So Too Old To Die Young is the third greatest show of 2019.

Don’t forget the murderous dwarfs.

“Flash! Flash! I love you! But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!”

Well, I’m guessing that’s what the show creators were going for. Friends is loved around the world, but it always seemed crystal clear to me that Friends wasn’t created for viewers around the world - it feels so specifically designed for a white American audience. I know most shows are, but there was something about…

when i was in high school, i played the main character in the short play “sorry, wrong number” in our drama club production - it’s that story of the lady who hears a murder being plotted over the phone & can’t get anyone to help & of course, it’s her own murder which the audience realizes but she doesn’t - it’s been…

Not pertinent, but I got an ad on the video for Dylan Leblanc, who I have no clue who he is.
I did learn he is not related to Matthew Leblanc.

Lauren Tom was also very funny, and smoking hot, in Bad Santa

Ghostbusters II.

Deadwood movie... oh, SPOILERS

Only going to be reporting on Toy Story 4 because I’ve been working and packing for a month-long trip all week long. As Dowd says in his review, it doesn’t quite hit the highs of TS3 (I have no idea how it even could), but the story is solid and the emotional through points of the entire franchise are definitely very…

I spent my movie nights this week with Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni in Sunflower, and Marcello alone in Casanova ‘70. Casanova was exactly the ridiculous sex comedy I was expecting. Sunflower, though, was emotionally exhausting! There aren’t many actors who can so easily get me invested in their…

So I finished Nicolas Winding Refn’s Too Old To Die Young.
