I have noticed an uptick in quality for the reviews recently, as some old writers have come back as well

Since many of the posters here (me included) are often criticizing the writing on the site, it’s worth saying -- this review is very well written.

I haven’t seen this, but Sophia Lillis is great in general and I did enjoy The Blackcoat’s Daughter so I should check it out.

I definitely end up discussing less with people on shows that are binge dropped. You never know where people are so it makes discussing certain things difficult because you’re always doing that dance of “Have you seen this yet? Wait, no, don’t tell me!” And by the time everyone has caught up, the moment has passed and…

Edebiri chimed with this takeaway, in case you need self-control motivation while pressing play: “Nobody is forcing you to watch it all at the same time. You can pace yourself. I find myself with shows releasing weekly sometimes, I wait until the end and pace it out. You have autonomy as a viewer.”

SoulmAIte?

I honestly wouldn’t have had a problem with the name of this movie until you suggested “Soulm@te”, which reads SO much better

Part of me wonders if it was a studio mandate to indicate some kind of connection with M3gan, even if only in subject matter and creative team?

“Don’t mind Brian's repeated arsons, it’s just his way."

The difference is monetization. Producers probably wanted even more outrageous behavior from Brand, because the public was shocked by it and interested in it. Brand did things like have sex with a homeless person on a reality show IIRC. He and I think Jonathan Ross got fired from a radio show for harassing an older…

It was worth it just for the Bill Murray Garfield joke in Zombieland

You joke (or at least someone on Xwitter jokes) but I have no doubt that some studio executive pitched something like that at some point.

Yeah I mean who besides internet film nerds even recognizes Furiosa’s name? Film Twitter enthusiasm ≠ normie moviegoer enthusiasm.

Furiosa is great: Another deeply enjoyable expression of director George Miller’s central cinematic thesis that sometimes you just need to make a movie about fucked-up people in fucked-up cars doing awesome, fucked-up shit. We don’t understand the people who refuse to go see it

When it comes to Costner, I have a simple rule: if he’s wearing a baseball cap or a cowboy hat, I’ll probably like the movie. 

By the way, a late comment on me regarding this, but a slight correction to the headline.

I recently made that same error myself. The fact that it’s an Aussie movie makes it especially easy to assume it’s this Miller. It took a quick incredulous visit to IMDb for me to realize no, definitely not the same dude.

There are a lot more Restrained Robin Williams movies than you remember. In addition to One Hour Photo, off the top of my head I can think of Awakenings, Good Will Hunting, What Dreams May Come, Insomnia, maybe even Hook. (Garp too? I personally haven’t seen that one.) He was also restrained in an episode of Louie and…

I don’t think dislike is the correct term. It’s just that, stacked up against the first two entries (and now, Fury Road), it does pale in comparison.

I was looking for The Man From Snowy River. It turns out it was an Australian movie directed by a different George Miller (who is actually Scottish). Until just now I thought it was the Mad Max guy.
