About Jennifer Lawrence being “genuinely happy”... the thing about actors is that they’re always acting. Always. They have no off switch. So maybe Lawrence was happy her friend won - or maybe she’s just good at her craft.

Kevin Hart is an actor who did some stand-up before he was famous. Nothing wrong with that. Movie and TV roles are not awards given to successful comics - they’re a separate career track.

There is nothing about that movie that isn’t perfect.

So you’re saying that Dark Phoenix stories keep on going down in flames, only to be reborn?

How ethnic.

Why do BMWs have such small steering wheels? So you can drive with handcuffs.

It may not be the worst, but Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas” has annoyed me for decade. For one, it’s a lump of self-righteous treacle. For another, and more importantly, the 40% of Ethiopians who are not Christian neither know nor care whether it is Christmas or not, thank you very much.

Wheel of Time got surprisingly better in its second season, as did the Foundation series. The latter, interestingly, got better the further it wandered from the original story

They were also huge here in Israel, for some reason. Like, superstars.

...and a July film is going to win this year.

The put it off so that its uber-trendy cast could do promotion work for it. Why hire Zendaya and Timotheeeee if they can’t do red carpets because of a strike?

Boys and girls, yes. Punctuation - not so much.

As an aside, “Kingsley Ben-Adir” is one of the greatest names in human history. “Kingsley” is, of course, terrific in and of itself, but “Ben-Adir” brings it up a notch - it’s Hebrew for “Son of Awesome”, or “the Amazing One”. A name like that, you know he’s going places.

You realize these are all fictional characters, right?

“I don’t hate Jews, I love Jews!” is not a reassuring statement.

There seems to be a mistake here. Lilith was not cold - Lilith was smokin’ hot.

I doubt he even knows who Michael Stipe is.

Rule of thumb: if the skin stays on, it’s silly. Otherwise...

No matter who you cast, stretching powers will always look silly onscreen. There’s no way around it.

I have to admit that the last act of the film went in a direction I had not expected it to, making it a much sillier, much more fun movie. I came in expecting another Top Gun, and got another Iron Eagle instead.
