Oh shit!  Withdrawn.

Let’s give the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise to Grieco.

Yeah, it was definitely not clear at all to me that he had developed a non-hunger-related fondness for the tadpole.  That’s where the frog lady and I parted ways, I would have kept my tadpole well away from B.Y.

I am not a passionate partisan on either side, and I agree it’s a little implausible the frog lady would respond as she did, but I definitely laughed each time Baby Yoda either ate an egg or clearly thought about eating an egg. 

I thought Rogue One was great.  Between that and the Mandalorian, the evidence points towards them needing to stay away from epic trilogies from now on.

I kind of agree. Life is about “picking your battles and knowing your niche,” and that’s true for people with disabilities or differences as much/more than anyone else. Having said that I’m sympathetic to some of the frustration here. Going by the facts set forth in the post, it seems like Sia has a friend who’s…

Tsk tsk Isla Fisher, that American accent sounds pretty half-hearted. Otherwise, I’d watch this with my kids except that I kind of doubt the “perk up a tired mom” plot will interest them much, if real life is anything to go by.

Genuine question: how does the OCD come into it? The compulsion to record things neatly? The eschewing of professionally-made porn?

Fear not, thou are starred.

As a 30 Rock fan I have a soft spot for Baldwin notwithstanding his antics, and I can’t help feeling he is being driven back to the financial comfort of sitcoms by the excessive number of children he recently acquired. Would he be doing this otherwise? I wonder.

If she would do it she would rescue the whole thing but there’s no way she’d ever do it.  They’re probably thinking more along the lines of Sofia Vergara (to misquote 30 Rock, female 50 is male 60).

I’m sure that is the calculus of the old-man ABC execs who gave this the greenlight. Notorious liberal alpha male? Notorious conservative alpha male?  Sparks will fly!  But the problem is I don’t think they will be good sparks.  

I think you got close; my money’s on Tom Arnold.  For relatability.

That means a lot.

England is definitely damp but I don’t need to see a movie about it.

Or Randolph Henry Ash!

It’s hard to read her facial expressions or vocal tone. Possibly she just accepted how adorably mischievous it was and recognized the importance of that relative to her preservation of her genetic line.

If I remember correctly, SNL did a skit where the other present-day characters caught the old lady throwing the necklace into the ocean and beat her up.

Good point.  Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Damn it, this is one of those movies I never got around to. Time watching Nicolas Cage chew the scenery is always well spent, and I have been trying for months to get my husband to watch it with me!! He always goes for some hipster nonsense instead.  Wish me luck on this campaign.
