The first MiB is one of my favorite movies. I’ve even been known to defend the third one (not 2 - I’m not a crazy person). I had no interest in this. When you have folks as charming as Hemsworth and the Thompsons and you can't put together three minutes of halfway interesting footage for a trailer you have a BIG…
Haven’t been able to get to the movies because I’ve been working on a big project. Project’s done, so I went to see a bunch:
Later in the article you find out Sparks tried to discredit the headmaster by claiming he had a mental illness, then denied he ever did it. What an asshole.
Dawn Treader is a weird attempt to force an overarching story and villain while adapting a book that is pretty much just episodic adventures/whimsy.
She's wonderfully memorable in the Agatha Christie movie Evil Under the Sun as an obnoxious woman with horrible fashion sense.
Regina Hall is 22 years younger than Jackson. Why not make her the daughter and younger Shaft the grandson?
I kind of liked their take on Brainiac, who at least looked pretty cool for a Syfy budget, but I don't understand their take on Adam Strange as a time hopping wannabe hero.
I have a soft spot for Lobo. He's one of the few beings in the DC Universe who seems to really get on Superman's nerves and in a very different way than, say, Mr. Mxyzptlk.
Well, my first search result was the Barefoot Contessa so at least we'll have a nice meal first.
I'll miss this delightful oddball of a show but happy that it's ending as the creative team want it to.
And it finally connects the dots to Aziraphale’s comments about how somebody deeply loves the place and Newt’s articles about Tadfield having abnormally “perfect” weather. Adam doesn’t want all the dominions of the Earth. He wants Tadfield, his Garden of Eden, the one place that is really real to him - and that’s a…
When I was a kid "The Rainbow Connection" always tugged at my tear ducts. Now it's "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday," a song kid-me thought was boring but middle-aged me finds incredibly moving.
Pretty much nothing with the kids worked for me in this episode. Granted, those weren't my favorite parts of the book, either, but they're such a tonal mismatch with everything else. Way too little Sheen here. Whitehall seems to be trying his best but he seems miscast as a hopeless sad sack.
I sort of get why they would make God the narrator, since it allows them to sneak in jokes from the omniscient narrator in the book, but for me it does sort of highlight how weirdly non-committal the book is in its depiction of God (or non-depiction, really). The book mocks the overzealous, bureaucratic Angels and…
I thought Aziraphale was going to be the much harder character to adapt. On the page he’s kind of a pleasant, well-meaning neurotic for Crowley and later Shadwell to bounce off of but maybe not the most interesting character. But I find Sheen’s performance so surprisingly warm and sweet. Tennant is very good in those…
The Matrix sequels, though I have grown to have a grudging affection for them over time. The storytelling is somehow hugely ambitious, opaque, and thuddingly obvious at the same time and they’ve become trapped in their own stylistic choices. And everything takes forever to happen.
Williams was absolutely phenomenal throughout the series. Her Verdon felt real, complicated, and lived in. I don’t feel quite the same about Rockwell, who is unquestionably a good actor but who too often seemed to get saddled with writing that was "stand there pensively while we insert a flashback explaining your…
I heard “literally horror novel” and wrote a horror story about someone who finally snaps after hearing “literally” misused too many times and goes on a killing spree.
What if we drown you in Crystal Pepsi?
