I was hoping Tammy Duckworth would have acknowledged Pearl Jam’s earlier brave at driving reform and said, “On a herrrdrrrr on a guhrrrdrrrr lettrrrrrrr!”

It was entertaining, but I guess I expect some more depth from a Best Picture nominee, which I thought Maverick was lacking (at least on a single viewing). I would rank it below Pinocchio (del Toro’s), Nope, After Yang, Decision To Leave, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, and Turning Red. So, Maverick’s a fun movie, but…

Democrats need to take notes on Andrea Riseborough’s campaign strategy!

That’s nice for Ridley. I know, cry me a river and all, but that Star Wars thing is a double-edged sword and I think actors really do want to act, try new roles, and just work, even if financially they might not desperately need it.

I get your point. I’m sure I’ll rewatch it at some point and I can pay better attention to what I might not have noticed on first viewing. He’s great at his job but he’s in a genre where acting in a way requires closer attention.  Harrison Ford I think is similarly treated because people think his action stuff…

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Maverick was fun, but I didn’t feel his acting was any more remarkable than in the recent Mission Impossible movies. Maybe I’m just wrong in thinking it’s nothing special, but a lot of people do seem to love it so either he should get an Oscar nod for his career and consistency, or …

She wants her father back, you son of a bitch.

They already did if for the scene where Perseus wanted fries with his burger, but he instead says “chips” in the British version.

It’s so handy that his Perseus costume didn’t involve pants.

I’m quite glad Michael Hobbes left You’re Wrong About. Even Sarah Marshall’s boundless intellect, wit, and humor could not make up for Michael Hobbes’s smugness in being ‘right’ (easy for him to say) on his read on the events they covered.

Sadie Sink is really good, but I think MBB is really unremarkable. Wolfhard is okay, but I just find him a little irritating, which doesn’t make him a bad actor but just harder to watch. My 16-year-old thinks he’s just the best.

Like a Rockford Peach?

She’s my favorite actress daughter of famous rich people.

Beck Bennett. He’ll be more interesting and entertaining than a lot of these other options.

Nah, unless it’s someone with a really interesting idea or just crazy chops like Scorsese, I’d be much more interested in a documentary. It’s hard to think of a biopic recently that’s not by-the-numbers, although I hear Elvis at least tried.

This is really incredible and I had no idea about all this non-attention-seeking generosity.

No, the shakeup is that Channing Tatum will be sporting the Demi Moore haircut.  It really changes everything.

It was entertaining, but it was a little stupid. The practical effects/stunts were fun, but I thought the movie was still formulaic, so I really didn’t think it was anywhere near Best Picture material. I wouldn’t agree that “nothing in there was bad” because I thought the dialogue was bad.

Since no one asked, my opinion is that Big, Captain Phillips, and Catch Me If You Can should make up the top 3.
