If you can wait twenty years, you’ll see how Linklater’s Merrily turns out!

Agree on Grande, but I’m also a little skeptical of the pairing as a whole. I wasn’t getting much comedy out of that odd coupling between the two characters. I’m getting “tragic” from Erivo, but not so much the “grump” that’s supposed to play off of Galinda.  As much as I’m complaining, I’m sure I’ll see it and I’ll…

Abomination.

Bama Rush 2: Dune: Prophecy: Sisterhood Above All

I got a little optimistic after seeing the three-minute featurette, but I’m back to “this won’t be any good” after this trailer. While it didn’t show them singing, the trailer does let us hear pieces of their singing, and I’m really underwhelmed. The trailer as a whole is quite generic tonally and the music’s…

Or maybe Chris Hemsworth talked to Taylor-Joy for months nonstop about not getting respect from Martin Scorsese.

That’s unfortunate. I was hoping Part 1 would be the story told from Galinda’s point of view, and Part 2 would be the entire story but told from Elphaba’s.

It’s Degeneres’s, damn it.

The visuals are encouraging; I was expecting much worse. I’m not agreeing that it’s looking “pretty good”, but I’m a little more optimistic. It looks good enough, but I didn’t get the same feeling that I got when I saw the trailer for West Side Story. That one got me very excited, and that movie thankfully delivered. M…

It’s like how my New York friends always love to tell me and other Midwesterners that in NY people aren’t passive-aggressive but will just tell you to your face if they don’t like you. Looks like that includes punching.

I’m about 30 years older than these kids, but Diary of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days captures the anxiety I felt as a kid around not seeing my crush daily during the summer.

Harry Styles should spit on him again.

I’ll check this out because I LOVE Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049, but I have to admit that while Yeoh doesn’t hurt, she also doesn’t make this any more compelling to me. In the late ‘90s when I was in college, I ate up Michelle Yeoh/Khan’s HK action movies, but looking at her post-Supercop filmography, I’m…

How about Die Hard on a bus....but in an Uber?

This is more like a white person claiming to be black, redefining what it means to be black, and using their proclaimed identity to erase organizations, resources, protections and spaces set up for actual black people.

Yeah, I shouldn’t be surprised that the Potter books are about that and not the opposite. I also wouldn’t be surprised that a lot of readers don’t always bother applying that message to real life, and that they liked the books simply because there’s magic and chocolate frogs and wizards battling bad guys. The…

I imagine she truly and passionately believes in what she’s saying, so it’s a cause for her. Also, and I don’t know much about the Potter scene, but I think those books and movies appealed to a very broad spectrum, including people who sympathize with Rowling.  People live in bubbles and I like my bubble, but there…

Have you ever noticed
How Nazis suck?
Ba-da-da ding-ding-ding-ding
Dong-dang ding-dong duck!

I listen to the “Merrily We Roll Along” cast recording all the time, and he’s pretty fantastic in it.

I think this is further proof that Hogwarts is a truly excellent school.
