I officially need to see Arachnophobia for the first time since middle school. Also, if I may say, J Lo in 1997. Sheesh.

I think I was mostly reacting to the realization that A Bigger Bang is almost 20 years old. And yes, Macca deserves credit.  Would that I could be that vital at 80.  Or that rich.  The two being likely related.  

Just glad this is happening when everyone involved is at their absolute creative peak. Important to seize the moment, you know.

Seeing Winston get more of his due was one of the better parts of Afterlife.  Dictionary definition of too little too late, but still nice to see.  

David Fincher things are crisp, but dim, and vaguely green.

I myself have always thought of London as the City of Dutiful Drudgery.  With some good theater to let the steam off.  

You clicked on the article.  Mission accomplished.  Await further instructions.  

One day at a time.  Congrats and positive thoughts going forward.  

I have a pretty strong gag reflex that comes up when I encounter something that shocks me to my core or gives me a lot of anxiety. If I remember the movie right, that’s what Fergus was going through on a lot of levels at the time of the “reveal.” It’s a realistic response for someone from his background, at that time,…

They’ll be filming on a small piece of land.  

I could do the whole of Twelfth Night right now.

Would you say Clouseau was portrayed by Alan Arkin “subsequently” when his performance precedes three (four if you count the footage in Trail) by Sellers? Useless nitpicking is important to me.  

I’m sure that figured prominently in his annual performance review. 

Myrna Loy was straight up hot.  

That bus is absolutely, positively the same as the ones used in Portland in the 80s and 90s.  I mean, maybe a lot of other cities too, but seeing it pushes a very specific nostalgia button for me.  This probably won’t be enough to get me to watch but still.  Still what I don’t know, just still.  

And I will.  

Bringing back Bob Dylan as Alias is probably too specific a fan service to hope for, isn’t it?  

Next stop: the Eastside Motel. 

I do enjoy that we consistently say Tusken Raiders now because “sand people” sounds genuinely space racist.

Man, I liked it better before I read the article when I’d never heard of this guy.
