I’ll go on record to say this has been a delightful season, and I anxiously await Pt. II for some closure.

I’d also love to know how a mosquito bites an animal that lives in the middle of the fucking ocean.

I don’t know why but it seems like there was more than 6 of these.

She’s written consistently haunting and beautiful music for nearly fifty years. Stunning voice, talented musician, composer, and dancer.

This fella looks more like Pete Shelley of The Buzzcocks.

And without any satisfying answer, we’ll have to assume they shot a man in Kingsland just to watch him pee.

This is the kind of burn Chan normally only experiences when sliding down a three-story pole covered with lights, then falling through a glass roof into a mall kiosk.

Donna’s departure as companion was the only one that had me bawling my eyes out. 

Really! My ex-wife and I both hated that the show decided to get rid of Donna that way. She’d come so far and shown just how incredible she could be, and was a shining star to every Office Temp who watched DOCTOR WHO because Donna was “SuperTemp!” She could walk into any situation, snag a clipboard or file folder, and…

The Kids in the Hole.

Indeed.  Modern writers forget that its way better to give you a slice of a world rather than explain every corner of it.

There’s a lot of tossed-off bits that work the way they did in Star Wars (‘77), hinting at a larger, full-of-weird-shit world without making you have to stop and parse it out to orient yourself. Like “just another snake cult”, I love that.

There’s an austerity to Conan the Barbarian that I wish more filmmakers had employed when sword & sorcery flicks were having their brief moment back in the early-to-mid eighties. And one which I hope is utilized in the likely inevitable revival of the genre.

I’m not sure the movie is espousing a might-makes-right philosophy. It’s just a lawless world where might equals survival and possibly power. And Conan’s the baddest motherfucker in it. It’s more Road Warrior than Triumph of the Will.

But will it have a great theme song?

It’s on Netflix, and it’s kind of an adorable mishmash of different ideas from Bram Stoker, Hammer, and Francis Ford Coppola, but it’s also a mess.

Unless the reveal is that *she* is the source of all the bloody horror.

Confusing sequel names:

I wonder how his career would’ve gone had he missed out on Phantom Menace.

I haven’t heard of this Brad Pitt guy, but I suppose I can give him a try.
