Most Americans are generally ignorant about anything related to the events of WWII beyond Hitler, Pearl Harbor, Auschwitz, and D-Day. In particular, relatively few are aware of the staggering loss of Soviet lives.

It’s obviously not news that his entire shtick is combative interviewing for attention but this perspective helps drive home the point of how intentionally performative all of it is. Good Morning Britain itself publishes all of these clips online in near real time, with click-baity titles that often promote their own…

This is peak Piers projection and deflection.

My free account with labels and folders disagrees with their website.

Please, don’t anyone click on the Daily Mail, ever.

Labels and folders are free.

What doesn’t? I’m predictably sentimental and manipulable. For TV/film, most endings where anyone dies or reflects on loss or regret but I’m also sucker for the heartwarming moments, too. My all-timers are probably the endings (not only the ending scenes but especially the ending scenes) of Six Feet Under and Philadelp…

Also on Prime.

It’s cheaper for what most of us want (excluding sports and news)...for now. For cable cutters, the amount of content one has access to from the big streamers (I’d throw Spotify in there as well) is pretty remarkable for the price. But I think we’ll probably be in situation soon where many people will want 6+…

Hi, Marty!

I watched it last night before reading this. I don’t disagree with most of the critiques but I found it slightly more enjoyable than the rating would indicate. I say that I found it more enjoyable vs. it’s better than the rating as the pleasure is very much in the nostalgia and the sometimes absurd cameos (returning…

They did, in a throwaway moment that was sort of disturbing.

It’s not explicitly stated as such (unless I missed a joke) but he’s in the same role in a new location.

You also have to wonder if music videos were still MTV’s bread and butter at that point, would they have competed in a different way with YouTube? I assume they could’ve created THE music video platform in the days when YouTube was not yet a real music player and basically created their own Vevo for the labels.

Dammit. I didn’t realize Wolfwalkers was an “Apple Original” product. I assumed it would hit one of my services eventually (basically everything except Apple TV+).

I grew up in Syracuse, NY where removing snow was an intra-day activity and I never recall seeing people do this. I now live in Seattle and I see a few cars with them up on every block during they few “storms” we get. When I first saw it I thought it seemed logical but I also grew up scraping ice off every morning…

Agreed. If I bet on such things, I’d give him very strong odds relative to people we know about today (from either party) to be in the White House within the next three cycles.

Stick with it. Whether you really get into the dark and mystical symbolism and metaphysical ramblings (I don’t even think Pizzolatto really knew what a lot of it meant) or even the procedural minutia of plot , it’s a veritable masterclass in TV directing by Fukunaga. It picks up really quickly over the next two…

Nomadland: Not much to be said about Frances McDormand in general and in this role that hasn’t already be said. I don’t care about awards or even know who she’ll be up against in this crazy year but she wins. Beautifully shot and scored. I knew only a little about the film going in (a bit about the book and about the…
