HES AN ABSENTEE LANDLORD.

Al Pacino eating all of the scenery every time he’s on film in that flick is a sight to behold.

Glad he’s plugging The Devil’s Advocate. Such a crazy movie that seems like it’s almost been forgotten.

I loved Issa’s housedog comments. I’m a little surprised Molly doesn’t have a dedicated dog walker because she must work crazy hours as a lawyer, but then I’m not a dog owner so I don’t know. Nathan is cute and an easy hang, but Issa needs to move on. 

I mean, young girls have been attracted to famous twink boys since... the 50s?

Her most recent album at the time went 3x platinum and had a number one single though... It’s telling that her followup releases after the Super Bowl charted notably worse.

I’m sure it’s less abuse than professional athletes put their bodies through, but he’s certainly on that spectrum, with all these action movies.

Eternal’s narrative and themes may be muddled (imo because of challenges inherit within MCU’s formula and continuity) but i don’t find it pretentious. Colonist/caretakers who are changed by the interaction with their charges is common and accessible in both sci fi and historical fiction.

This is clearly pretty fucking stupid. I’m assuming that if the dogs don’t have any offspring, then the trust terminates and all the money is given away to charities or something, meaning that the trustee(s), who are almost certainly paid handsomely for all this, would lose their meal ticket; so they ensure each dog

Olympic athlete is a stretch but kid is a top tier dancer. He’s had a physically demanding career and probably knows the tune of his body and its performance backwards and forwards. If it’s declining in some way he would notice, and it’s not to be unexpected that he can’t do backflips in his mid-20s the same way he

Many shows have different episodes written by different people. Between this ‘how many workers?’ continuity problem and the glaring “the world ends in 2031; in other news, my children pop by from 2049 every now and then for a chat” continuity problem, I can only conclude that Flash is leading the way by having

Slimer’s softening was entirely due to “The Real Ghostbusters” cartoon which premiered in 1986, years before his brief cameo in 1989's “Ghostbusters 2". Which if not for the cartoon Ghostbusters 2 wouldn’t have happened. I’m not saying that the first Ghostbuster’s movie wasn’t culturally significant, but I think we

Perhaps younger viewers (and reviewers) don’t realize that a lot the overt horror scenes in Dana’s apartment were direct references to scenes in Poltergeist, which was released two years earlier. They were released on the equivalent summer weekends, nearly exactly two years apart. This meant that while they might be

I think Ghostbusters was a product of its time, when studios were exploring horror as a more nuanced genre. Even with its gross-out moments, Ghostbusters was still cuddlier than its counterparts, thanks to its SNL infusion. Like other horror movies of the era - Poltergeist comes to mind - some of its scariest moments

It was a very fun, very whimsical sci-fi comedy that they have consistently attempted to shoehorn into a franchise model. To do so is to strip at least some of the magic away from the first flick.

While I was glad to see the writers get away from the usual “He beat us and I’m not sure where he went, so we need to devise a plan that he can overcome the next five times we meet him until the final episode when we win by a fluke,” but if someone told me they had to kill me to save the world in ten years, my first

When I was in the Navy, I served with a man who was, by any measure, gross as hell. He smelled so bad that people woke up when he walked into the room. He had to be sent to a special school to learn basic hygiene, and seemed to retain none of what they taught him. His teeth were green. I sure hope that guy isn’t a

Always good to see the Royal Flush Gang. And Despero. So many fond DCAU memories. Good to see Ray back as well; I hope they can keep him a part of the Beebo-verse. Barry Allen should’ve died in Crisis, but since he didn’t I hope they can keep the series going in a good direction.

Furthermore, “only in theaters” has definitely been a movie marketing tagline at least since I was a kid; it’d come at the end of tv spots usually.

Also what’s with this acting like Eternals isn’t doing just as well as Black Widow and Shang-Chi did? It didn’t go over well with critics but it’s not like Eternals isn’t making money.
