The weird lungfish-like Godzilla from early in the movie aside, I really like Shin Godzilla. It’s one of the rare Godzilla movies that really got across the“holy crap, there’s a giant monster and our government is useless!” vibe.

Yeah, the paleontology one was pretty bad, too, but I think posthumous publications sort of exist in a separate category.

That’s great. I’ve always thought Aniston was funny and this pairing seems promising.

Michael Crichton, at least as a novelist. Even the worst of his “hot topic” thrillers like Rising Sun are well constructed and he was sometimes very good at executing a very clever idea: Jurassic Park, Sphere, The Andromeda Strain, etc. But there’s a certain hollowness to his books and I don’t think I’ve ever cared…

This show is so frustrating and all over the place but damn I love so many members of this cast. Got the expected chills with the baby batsignal and Baby Batman.

The last thing this show needs is more characters. Oversize Toddler, you are banished to wherever Lily and Luke have gone.

Ross was fantastic in this plot. Diane playing with the fireplace was funny. Ruby having an actual human moment with Bow was nice. But that ending felt rushed and like a super shortcut. And I hate how Dre treats Junior.

No Fish?

That Designing Women spinoff was so weird. Who thought putting her in Congress was a good idea?

Watched Netflix’s The Kissing Booth, which has a nice cast but otherwise feels like a third rate John Hughes movie (down to casting Molly Ringwald). I sort of get what they were going for but I’d rather they just streamed the actual Hughes movies instead of making their own imitation.

I think he has nice mother/son moments with Diane Lane. I just don’t get who this Superman is outside of those scenes. Cavill and Adams are talented, beautiful people but their relationship makes no sense in these movies because neither one has really been given a defined version of these characters to play.

I gave the new Lost in Space a try because I was open to a more serious take on “Swiss Family Robinson in Space” but I really found it tedious. Molly Parker and Toby Stephens are good actors but they are so stiff in this show.

The orange juice/smoking scene is in Superman 2 - and a pretty perfect encapsulation of her Lois.

I think your last sentence really nails it. I like a lot of the other Lois Lanes (particularly Teri Hatcher) but Kidder plays it differently, giving her Lois a genuinely acerbic edge that is so much closer to a character performance than the conventional superhero movie romantic leading lady and all the better for it.

Lisa’s whole “no one ever listens to me” and the immediate confirmation of that fact just felt like a “shut up, Meg” joke from Family Guy. Some of the gags here were pretty solid (why did we pick a national anthem that so few people sound good singing?) but the last minute need to start a plot with Homer and Marge…

Surprised by how lovable he was in Goon and he gave a nice, low key performance in the otherwise pretty bad Just Before I Go.

Really? That’s great news. Morales is a terrific actress. Hard to believe Flynn doesn’t want a break after almost two straight decades of sitcoms but he’s great, too.

Charmed strikes me as the kind of show you should try to reboot - interesting premise, solid enough mythology, lousy execution.

My favorite was the attempted spinoff of Family Ties about Mallory’s boyfriend (although the failed pilot included Kristine Sutherland from Buffy and Julia Louis Dreyfus from all the Emmys so clearly the casting director was good at their job).

I really didn’t like the show but it had a good cast. Ritter needs a good sitcom gig.
