I think you’re right, person with the awesome avatar name, Batman thought he was rushing to save Rachel but the Joker had switched addresses on him.

I remember my Eight Grade, it was ‘83. Didn’t have after-school programs anymore because Reagan cut ‘em. I watched The Day After and didn’t sleep for days. Superman III came out and I realized for the first time (but not the last) that it was possible to make a terrible DC comics film. Elton John’s “I’m Still…

and then gets shot by Charlie Daniels

I don’t disagree with you. My point is, I’m going to see Avatar 2 (when it comes out in 2055) based on Cameron’s track record. And I’m not going to say Avatar 2 is going to bomb since that’s what everybody and their second cousin said about Titanic and the first Avatar, and they’re the highest-grossing movies of all…

You make a good point—I might mock Avatar for essentially being the same movie as Pocahontas, but I went to see it, and Cameron has never made a bad action movie. My ass will be in a theater seat when this comes out, just as it was for Aliens, Terminator 2, and The Abyss. (I didn’t learn about the first Terminator unti…

Ah yes, RealPlayer, otherwise fittingly known as “#2" on 2006's list of The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time, according to PC Magazine. (AOL online took #1.)

Super Dave!

I agree with you about the first scene; it felt positively Spielbergian.

Guttenberg’s involvement surprised me, and also Corbin Bernsen’s. Why Corbin, why!? I loved you in Psych.

Interesting. I generally don’t like Baron Cohen’s approach (I just don’t think pranking poor unsuspecting fools is very funny), but I could get into pranking the MAGAtards. 

“de Beauvoir once said of Lanzmann, ‘He wasn’t a grower. He was more of a Shoah.’”

Love this movie. I wish Caroline had talked about the astonishing monologue Zellweger gives at the end, but I suppose that would spoil one of the subversive twists. It’s a great scene, rather simply staged, with the camera basically just slowly zooming in on Zellweger while she spools out an incredible story that…

I approve of this comment.

I’d add to your IM3 highlights the plane rescue sequence.

We agree about the mutiny; I laughed at your “rascally Poe” comment. “Hey, remember that time Poe pulled a gun on a ranking officer? Classic Poe. What a card.” It’s hard to buy into the idea that Poe would mutiny, and harder to buy into the idea he wouldn’t be harshly punished for it. (The only logical reason why he’s…

There are plenty of legitimate criticisms out there for TLJ mixed in with the handful of bigots and the people who are upset about Luke. I mean, no one seems to like the casino or Holdo plotlines.

Not bad, not bad. I’d go:

Based interviews I’ve seen, it seems like Fillion really really appreciated Castle because it provided job security for nearly a decade. I think the desire to have another multiple-season acting gig at a network that pays decently may be the driving force for this. And he may be thinking (as the network clearly is)…

I hear what you’re saying, but I have to admit there were some decent episodes in seasons 6 and 7. Season 6 finally resolved the death of Becket’s Mom storyline that had been a thing since the first season. I also have a soft spot for season 7's “Time of Our Lives” (Castle finds himself in a parallel universe/dream…

I’ve heard 1000x more criticism of whiny manbabies than I’ve seen actual whiny manbabies.
