Raylan Givens did some of this shit too but we weren’t usually supposed to find it appealing. Or at the very least the people he was roughing up had it coming. (Plus he also got his ass kicked a lot, usually during fights he took on completely outside his job duties, ha.) He was also seen as a shitty marshal by just…

He was much livelier and, idk, less predictable in Bullet Train than in anything else I've ever seen him in. 

Let's Name Some Guys

I DO kind of feel like this is a good point; is Jezebel really suggesting that women in their 20s are safer and better off only dating men in their 20s? Because...uh...

The first one was...fine? I barely remember it other than it was violent. 

I lived for a year in a 21st floor studio in downtown Denver. I’ll honestly probably never love another apartment or home more. It was lovely quiet (it was a nice building so no neighbor noise for the most part, and 21 floors is high enough for most street noise) and the views were incredible. It wasn’t huge but had…

Thank you for sharing this 

Tin Cup is just such a perfect sports movie. It’s also the very rare bit of golf related entertainment to showcase characters and locales in the sport that are very underrepresented. (My formative time playing golf is much more aligned with a dusty run down rural driving range than a fancy private club.) Night and day…

I like the connective possibilities by bringing back Portia and that leading to Belinda via Albie. Also I'm stoned so that's all. 

Yeppppp. Like, my takeaway early was that Ethan wasn’t into her because of that behavior, and then they both sort of “loosened” over the course of the season in different and unexpected ways, and then ended up basically getting to a satisfying equilibrium (even if it's temporary) only after succumbing to the sort of…

I, uh, strongly disagree? She was insecure about their sex life but she was also judgy as fuck from the start, couldn’t play along with Ethan’s friends because she clearly felt superior, and then when her husband DIDN’T cheat on her despite a gift-wrapped opportunity she elected to be impossibly passive-aggressive…

Yeah. Like, did Schrader despise Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which used real people in a more recent era to tell an entirely fictional story?

It really, really missed the depth of humanity that De Armas and Plummer conveyed. With this one, I just didn’t care as much, and the humor felt much more surface level than any real commentary or character-based writing.

I despise American police and grew up in a small town in the Midwest where I was stopped multiple times by an overaggressive officer who ended up fired for brutality and misconduct and I found Rockwell's character impossibly over the top. 

Listen, that movie wasn't actually good (Woody Harrelson aside) but this movie is great. It made me dislike Three Billboards even more in retrospect. 

Why does Harper deserve better? The entire plot was that actually all four of those people were pretty much the exact same type of asshole.

The thing about Avatar: the first was a legitimate critical success too, despite being a stupid, derivative story with awful and occasionally laughable dialogue. (“Unobtanium” belongs in something more like Sharknado.) But critics and the industry loved it and it made a lot of money. Considering this one is apparently…

Same, was a welcome presence when I rewatched that one. 

He’s excellent as a villain in Walk Among The Tombstones

The takeaway of HBO no longer operating as if money was no object on the path to creating prestige TV may or may not be true, but Westworld was shitty television and therefore not a great test case.
