I think it says something that if you are known for being in a genre of music that ends with changing taste, you should at least be noted for being the best one of that genre. The Bee Gees were the best disco group period. Their music defines that era even today. Disco is kind of like pop-metal when it ended with…

Really, people acting like they are ruining him need some perspective. He is 57. His leading man days are over no matter what people say about him. If you look at his resume, other than basically hitting the lottery with the gay Keith Richard’s thing that made POTC a surprise hit, his resume the last 15 years basically…

Season 1= surprise hit of the year and way better than I, or anyone, thought. I thought it would be a cheesy nostalgia ploy with the same lame plot and worn out material that cratered Karate Kid III. Instead, it was a surprising good story about the possibility of redemption, an old stick in the mud struggling to…

This is definitely a noble failure. If you squint hard enough you see what the director was going for (a shared theme in in Cactus’ daughter and the main lead both not speaking), good indicidual performances, technology vs. being dislocated if you are not up to speed on it..etc but it just falls apart.

See that is it, people confuse being a jerk with being assertive or confident. I have never seen anyone complaining that a guy is successful just for being assertive or confident, or a woman does not succeed because of being confident. You should be to succeed. People usually complain when a guy is being an ass. I…

I don’t think people, men or women, can just be assholes and get away with it. It is a myth. Most guys in jobs that are jerks are usually fired and unliked. A VERY small percentage that are considered ridiculously talented sometimes get away with it, for a while. It does not matter if they are a brilliant surgeon,…

There is nothing hot about this portrayal. She looks like a grandmother, and moves like one, as she should for the role. She shuffles her feet and is slumped over. Who is watching this thinking her portrayal of Thatcher is hot?

Yeah, it doesn’t need a disclaimer, but I never liked movies or TV shows that tell a fictionalized version of history at its center, especially recent history, rather than just “sprucing it up” in the margins. If the reality of it was not exciting enough, maybe you should find a new thing to do a show about. Also,…

The reason why Bruce Almighty WAS funny was Carrey’s character was such a self centered jerk that given god like powers, all he could think to do with them was enhance his own life. That what what the film was literally about and was the central gag.

I didn’t care for this movie. it was kind of a highlander meets avengers knock off. Yes, the cast was stellar, but Theron does make turkeys every now and then (Aeon Flux?). The plot was kind of all over the place and the tone was too. There is a sequence in the middle where they show the past where one of their was…

well, it is kind of like when 20th Century Fox gave George Lucas merchandise rights for a little film called Star Wars, because what good would that do in 1975 when about the only merchandizing that was done before then was maybe a Planet of the Apes lunch box? It made Lucas six billion dollars and 20th Century Fox…

well, then the argument is how in the world do you know if “you fuck it up”?  Yes, it is much easier when your entire premise, like “Watchman” is racial prejudice.  He specifically did this to try to make up for a criticism in the first book, but people are saying it isn’t good enough.  How do you win?  

haha. True. There is always something from every decade that is cool. But there is a difference between ironically going to a big band set or dressing a little retro and the fate of the world being determined by who was in Benny Goodman’s orchestra or knowing the cast of Disney’s Davey Crockett

Agree. This is the terrible box some try to put writers into. They write what they know and people criticize it for lack of representation. They try to have representation and they turn around and attack you for appropriating something that is not you. These guys do this for a living. What is he supposed to do? He…

I think Cline needs to write something beyond making sci fi novels of 80's nostalgia to keep off the criticism he is a one hit wonder. I agree with others on here that there is nothing wrong with an author writing what he knows. But after the terrible “Armada”, that I quit after about fifty pages, maybe he should have…

I actually bailed on this only an episode and a half in, I did not even see the “shocking murder” that everyone hated. I just did not like the material. A magic comic prophetic book is not exactly my cup of tea. The pandemic angle was just super ill timed. I see it enough in real life, thank you. I also think “nerd…

One of the more sillier tropes in movies or shows like this is the “evil guy who betrays everyone even though that will lead to everyone’s deaths, including his”. Like, even an evil character should have self preservation.

I like “The Boys” but that is definitely NOT a family watch show.

The big problem basic cable channels like USA have is they do not get shows like this anymore. This sounds completely in their wheelhouse but everything goes to streaming now. Kind of like what happened to AMC. While watching the prestige “Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix, I kept thinking, “this is a show AMC would have…

Well, what “if” he does not see it that way and interprets his role differently than the Queen does? He will be the head of the commonwealth. Even if British law prohibits him from issue decrees like the days of yore in England, what if he thinks he should have opinions? Attend world conferences or make speeches to…
