Clearly the truth is she will be at the Super Bowl. After the Chiefs win she will come out to the field and give Kelce a huge kiss. Then unhinge her jaw and swallow him whole on live television as she transforms into Taylor Swerpent the 300 foot long Snake God-Queen. After she feasts on the crowd she will turn the…

or family man barrett, reggae bass legend from bob marley and the wailers.

Toby freaking Keith gets a writeup but not a word on Wayne Kramer. SMDH.

I haven’t seen Anyone but You, but the idea that Powell and Sweeney wouldn’t be hooking up within six hours of meeting each other is ludicrous.

Pokemon is dogfighting, and the humans in the Pokemon world eat Pokemon as a delicacy. This doesn’t dramatically increase the violence over any other game where you hunt animals.

Saw Cop Land as a rental back in college. Roommate was a huge film nerd, I was just a movie nerd. We both enjoyed that movie *way* more than either of us thought we would.

Agreed on Southland Tales.  If you get on its wavelength, it’s a hell of a ride.  If you wanted something self-serious and pretentious, you probably won’t like it.

Birth is a wonderful movie. Probably not applicable here, though, since Sexy Beast is also great.

I would seriously consider editing that Memento notice.

Sunset Boulevard is also an absolutely dreadful musical with only two good songs in the entire 2.5 hour run (and to be fair they are brilliant songs). I saw the recent Broadway revival with Glenn Close and she was magnificent, but the show is a slog.

The Band’s Visit is exquisite and one of my favorite musicals.  No intermission to break the mood.  The pro shot recording (please tell me they did it) would be entirely sufficient and most welcome.

I believe Madonna is just about ready to do the Sunset Boulevard movie.

The Broadway run was at the Minskoff Theatre which had/has a massive hydraulic lift that can lift an entire set up and out of the way. So the primary set was the opulent house and the staircase and it took up the entire stage. When they wanted to have a scene somewhere else they would raise the living room set - in…

I saw the original Broadway run of Sunset Boulevard with Glenn Close. The only thing memorable was the expensive staging and that the audience that night had numerous celebrities. The music was meh.

I definitely prefer the pro shot recordings of the stage productions. I haven’t seen Waitress, but the ones I’ve seen like Newsies, Broadway Bandstand, and Hamilton have been really good quality and still captures part of the danger and excitement from doing something live. I’m sure in the right hands/feet, this Holida…

Yes! The video about the bird in Karateka acting as a form of copy protection gave me instant flashbacks to one of the first games I ever played on CD-ROM: King’s Quest VI. That game has multiple insta-death sections (including a perilous mountain and a dank crypt) you can only navigate successfully using the game’s…

I fully agree. I remember seeing it alone in the theater and it just devastated me. I re-watched it recently and it just floored me again.

“it is a dumb thing people can enjoy without paying extra for and without needing to pay too much attention to while they doomscroll on the couch.”

I watched it and enjoyed it. While a movie like Past Lives may have been better directed and be more technically sound, Rebel Moon was way more engrossing. It’s not a great movie, but I don’t regret watching it and it kept my attention. I have a soft spot for movies that involve a ragtag group of heroes assembled to…
