At one point, they shoot a rectal exam from the rectum’s perspective. It may be the defining image of a film so far up its own ass.”

Yeah, I feel like it’s unfairly dumped on. Margot Robbie’s clearly having a blast, Mary Elizabeth Winstead gave Huntress a hilarious awkwardness, and Ewan McGregor and Chris Messina make for the best gay villainous couple since Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins in Hook.

Harley Quinn... is not a character you’re supposed to want to be, she’s a character you’re supposed to want to fuck.

God, I love everything about this movie. Rewatching it last weekend was the happiest I've been in months.

The only problem with the honey butter chicken biscuit is that it’s not available 24 hours a day.

I haven’t eaten since noon yesterday (to be fair, it was a good-sized lunch). This was the first time I’d left the house since...Saturday? The drive was stressful. Then I saw the orange W. I could almost taste the HBCB. Then I saw the orange cones blocking the parking lot.

I wanted one this morning, but the Whataburger was fucking closed. Which never happens. Ever. They literally have billboards that say “Open Now.” Because it always is.

Tell her that if she’s ever been in the kitchen while you’re cooking meat, she has inhaled some meat particles, and thus cannot call herself a vegetarian.

I don’t know why they though a chronological, linear structure was a bad thing. I really, really don’t. To me, it’s imperative to the Stand to understand how the characters came to the decisions they did. That requires watching them go.

I’ll watch this, but I feel like I’ll have the same takeaway I’ve had with many, MANY other King adaptations: “Couldn’t they have tried, like, a straight-up adaptation?”

I really like the idea of the attack coming before they ride through the village.

Ha, I missed that, but now I’m wondering why they wouldn’t assume he’s just another stormtrooper.

Mando having to take off the helmet felt very contrived. I knew it was coming after their conversation in the vehicle, but it felt really dumb the way it played out. Like a face scan would be a security check to make sure you are authorized for access, not just require any face.

Line of the episode from Boba, “Let’s just say they’d recognize my face.”

Why is it necessary for beautiful women to put on ugly drag to get considered for awards? As far as I can tell, they are just taking work from plain women.

Lord help me, but I actually agree with Snipes on his larger point that “Because they are predisposed to believing the black guy is always the problem. And all it takes is one person”. We see it in the reactions to Ray Fisher’s allegations, or John Boyega’s outspokenness about the problems with Star Wars. To Oswalt,

I will always give The Thin Red Line a grade over Saving Private Ryan. The former seemed more spiritual. The latter was just gritty.

He tries very rarely nowadays, but Vin Diesel is actually a good actor - somewhat limited in range, but really charismatic and of course, skilled at using that gravel-in-a-cement-mixer voice.

As is de rigour with just about every Spielberg film, if he were to excise the last ten minutes, it’d be perfect. But no... He has to get the schmaltz in.
