Yes, not a critical darling but my wife and I enjoy watching this movie anytime it's on. Also, shows that with the right script and co-star, Ryan Reynolds can do good romance movies..

The movie that taught me how to be a mensch…

The last conversation between Errinwright and Mao played out like a scene from earlyMad Men, with Mao as the Draper/Sterling character seeing big picture and chastising Errinwright (as early years Campbell/Harry Crane) for not picking up on the details.
"You seem to only want to keep your job, so I'll let you get back…

I have the same thought anytime I hear about some ill-fated marketing campaign that causes why more damage than what the product it was selling is worth: How did no one (of importance) think this was a bad idea?
I mean the Trump-Putin thing less so, (because it's a made up place!) but everything else? Like, read the…

So…is it safe?. Is. It. Safe?

I would strongly suggest checking out the Lessons from the Screenplay channel on YouTube, at least if you're a burgeoning cinephile like myself. He covers a variety of different films and different themes. I've found it pretty entertaining and educational…

Stray Observations
The obvious parallels between David's psychiatric therapy and his mutant training especially the similar language ("doing the work", identifying memories then talking about what you found)
Ptonomy seems like an interesting character
The "Babadook-esque" book, "The Angriest Boy in the World"
The nods to I…

So with Legion, our TV Mental Health Trilogy is complete: Mr. Robot shows the unconscious mind as a personal antagonist; scheming and plotting in the shadows and margins of your waking life, pushing its own agenda in opposition to your own.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend portrays the unconscious as the best liar and the conscious…

Same including watching The Magiciansfirst but I think (for me at least) it's a matter of the time slot. It's a struggle to stay awake for anything past about 10:25. But I caught up on this episode in the proper light of day and it was just as phenomenal as my sleep-addled brain thought.

Ha, I clicked on the first link in this article and you wrote pretty much the same comment about a year ago. At least both of you are consistent…

I just saw this about an hour ago. Wonderful experience. I enjoyed The Lego Movie because it was a movie about how we, culturally, play with Lego(s). I enjoyed this movie because it was a movie focused on the Batman mythos as told through the lens of Lego. The cross references to Suicide Squad, Adam West Batman and…

I read this book a couple of years ago. It was an okay Western, it may be one of the few adaptations better as a film. Definitely some interesting casting…

I quoted the "Pop quiz, hotshot!" line yesterday at work. Keanu Reeves is an interesting study in navigating Hollywood as a movie star. Sidenote: I still need to watch John Wick.

This is a movie that was beloved in my house as a kid. Charles Dance's villain was so bad-ass (loved the different fake eyes).
"Don't trust him, he killed Mozart!"
"Who? Listen kid, I've killed a lot of people."
And of course, Ian Mckellan as Death from The Seventh Seal:
"Can you help him?"
"I don't do fiction!"

Disagree. I fall to see how Space Jam isn't fun. Take arguably the greatest player of all time and place him in a Looney Tunes cartoon. Bill Murray and Wayne Knight at the golf course. And the scenes of Barkley trying to play with kids at the street playground and getting schooled? It's a perfect mix of sad and funny.…

Seems as though the outside world is late 60s/early 70s. The luggage that Syd/David carries is definitely dated, the clothing of the extras are period appropriate. Also, the Halloween scene at his sister's seem era-appropriate as well between the decisions and the costumes worn (who has kids dressed as 40s style…

Ehh, it's still pretty garbage for the toddler to kindergarten set. On one hand my son has discovered Animaniacs via Netflix but then I realized the other day that my 5yo had no idea of Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny, etc. So I've taken to showing him clips from YouTube. I just have to skip the racist/overly sexual ones..

*Leo DiCaprio voice "You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention"

I guess historically Tom Cruise is more "Brat Pack"-adjacent than "Brat Pack"-proper? So yeah Lowe has the most juice…

Go away, I'm baitin'!!
