Almost Human should have been a half-hour sitcom consisting entirely of Michael Ealy and Karl Urban driving to the various crime scenes. Every line of dialogue in that squad car was just delightful.

The most fun I had at any movie this summer was Dora and the Lost City of Gold. I went to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the day before, and Dora was a 96-minute balm for my soul...

While I agree with your overall point on Titanic’s run-time, I think the real beginning of this trend was Braveheart.

Ms. Cills, please keep writing these types of articles. Only continual education and constant reinforcement can help otherwise intelligent individuals from falling for these people’s schitck. They are scum, preying on the naive and emotionally vulnerable.

My kids are teenagers now, so this aspect is slightly less relevant. I’m much, much more interested to know when those movies unlikely to ever be put on BluRay will be on Disney+ - “No Deposit, No Return”; “Herbie Goes Bananas”, “Dean Jones Buys a Ski Resort” (might have the title wrong on that one), and all the short…

Similar - I have finally hit the point where the money isn’t worth my emotional well-being (and have the same difficulty explaining this to some groups of people).

Good luck with your own move - hope you enjoy the sabbatical!

We’ve done carrots for the reindeer since our son was old enough to get the concept of Santa. We also leave some apple slices - because they are Rudolph’s favorite.

Pretty sure it’s Dennis Quaid ca. Innerspace?
