Mare of Eastown was a great performance but a shrug of a story, though maybe that’s just inherent to these Broadchurch kind of shows that always seem to end with a whimper.

Not untrue but I think our short lifespans have a lot to do with it too. If we lived hundreds of years we’d see more of us doing what needs to be done to advance long term. Instead most of us burn out in middle age and become conservative and short-sighted, just wanting to hold on to what’s ours.

You’ll probably enjoy it more if Boba Fett never appealed to you. I think this was a perfectly fine Star Wars show in general but as far as giving Fett a fleshed-out identity it feels like fan fiction. 

I really doubt it’s legal in Los Angeles unless an inspector came in and put an “A” on the kitchen wall.  

Movie Theaters are swamped on Christmas day. I worked at an AMC in high school and everyone had to work no matter what. 

It was never about who will sit on the throne. It was always about ice zombies and how little of a threat they actually are when you’re in the final battle.

Every year it’s the same thing. Dredge out those tired old songs, fat man comes down chimney and eats cookies, couple of turtledoves and wassailing, wassailing and more wassailing. Yawn.

SNL is a very big deal. Maybe the Saturday Night broadcast ratings aren’t what they used to be but the shows are broken down to Youtube clips almost immediately and those get tremendous views. Hulu and Peacock probably bring in a ton of viewers after it airs. too.

Yellowstone has major advertisers (I mean the show itself is an ad for Dodge Ram Trucks, they get as much screen time and action as most of the characters) but they do skew more rural/Country/whatever.

You can’t write thinkpieces about a show that doesn’t do any thinking.

It’s also on Country Music Television, I think. Weirdly MTV Studios does Yellowstone and other Sheridan shows.

Dear God please don’t let the Duplass Brothers break up, the world of cinema won’t be able to take it. 

“Greater Coif” is only a 3rd level spell, it’s no big deal when you’re a wizard. Getting that stupid facial hair right, on the other hand, takes the better part of the morning.

Or they didn’t hear about it at all because Agatha Christie fans tend to be older and not pop culture news obsessed. Plus not everyone shares the AV Club sentiment that if an actor has a scandal all trace of his prior screen presence has to be scrubbed from existence.

Or they’ll just confuse him with Michael Fassbender, Alexander Skarsgard, Joel Kinnaman or any number of strapping blonde guys named Chris.

My Agatha Christie-loving will go see this in the theater and buy it on DVD. I wouldn’t be surprised if it actually does pretty well, there are a lot of middle-aged old fashioned mystery fans out there who have zero clue who Armie Hammer is or what he did.

I always thought that was their homage to old stupid but fun sci fi and fantasy books for kids, the kid that haven’t been written since Hunger Games and Twilight made the YA genre all about angst. It is a really fun movie but like Speed Racer it seems made for some alternate dimension where tastes are different and…

Seeing a movie in a theatre is like listening to music on vinyl or reading a book on paper. It was once the only option and it’s fetishized now. I can appreciate fetishizing an experience and if that means something to you, great, but cut it out with telling us it’s the only “real” way to experience media.

How about Mike Richards?

I thought I was going to see 1985's Kiss of the Spider Woman.
