So, the house style for book reviews is a bit more casual than other reviews.

I guess Hollywood studios can keep putting dead celebrities in cash grab sequels to decades old franchises?

Chelsea Peretti hosted a few years ago. That’s how I learned her brother is apparently the founder of Buzzfeed.

Bruce Willis side career in straight to DVD films is weird. It’s not like his career collapsed the way Cage has—I mean, just this year, he was the lead in the Death Wish remake. It’s like, once he the lead action movie roles started to dry up, he got desperate for anything he could get.

Nicolas Cage has appeared in three movies in the past three months. In the time I’ve typed this comment, Cage has filmed another movie.

Headcanon: That Sea Horn didn’t do shit, that one guy just didn’t like the noise, but Doom plays whatever horn instrument he wants then rides off on his pet giant man-turtle thing.

Welcome to pre-production! Can be combatative!

I think that guy is a teenager that has a reflexive disdain for things from before they were born.

Was it really that depressing? I meant, the dinner didn’t look that bad to me—I love steamed salmon. And assuming the kid has internet access, the boring documentaries his parents watch shouldn’t be that big a deal.

The Lisa-Marge plotline never really settled on what it was trying to say. It raises an interesting issue—how to handle classic stories, that are overflowing with outdated and terrible values—but takes a shotgun approach, blasting ideas in every scene and none of them stick. Is it that attempting to ‘update’ the…

Yeah, I thought that’s where that plotline was going to go—Lisa is horrified by the casual racism of the older book, while Marge is more sanguine in a “it was a different time, the story is still good if you look past it” way. They end up visiting the academics, but both Marge and Lisa take issue with the academic…

I also remember, and enjoyed, Up, Up and Away.

Related: I’m guessing there’s going to be a reveal that David wasn’t scanned to an orb. I have no real alternate theory on what happened, I just got a feeling that, whatever happened, it involved more agency on David’s part than being kidnapped by an orb.

I was also expecting some sort of other reveal, and Darius leaving without any bloodshed. Creepy guest character appears to be a murderer, but turns out to be something mundane is a well-trod sitcom plot, usually on Halloween episodes. Atlanta can go a lot of different places, but I was not expecting it to go all in…

A Darius focused episode sounds like a recipe for the most light-hearted Atlanta so far—and the “Darius takes a trip” episode description seemed to imply a wacky drug trip episode—but this was the exact opposite, yet still true to Darius character. Earn or Alfred would’ve had no problem getting the hell out of there…

I wasn’t tipped off until I saw ‘Teddy Perkins as himself’ in the end credits.

Yeah, this is a very weak case. All they really have is the general idea of a conspiracy surrounding a research base located near a small, suburban town. Especially considering that a.) Montauk is already an urban legend, so that’s not a unique concept and b.) the finished show isn’t even set in Montauk There really…

One of the weirdest parts is when Phoenix says he shot a movie with John C Reily—who Ferrell has worked with several times, and presumably is friends with in real life—and Ferrell doesn’t acknowledge that he knows Reilly. Phoenix just straight up says “you’ll have to ask Reilly about that” and Ferrell brushes past it.…

I’ve only seen the trailer, not the actual episode. But yeah, Haruka is a negative influence, that’s prepared to drop anybody that is no longer of any use to her. Alt-rock Mary Poppins she is not.
