Well, except for the part that the novel this book was based on from 2018 was a lot closer to the nihilistic ending of The Cabin in the Woods (2011) for starters ...

Sounds like it’s more of a parent’s response to CiTW.

So you’re saying Cabin In the Woods ran so Knock At the Cabin could crawl?

Things Have Changed For HEEEEE-EE.

The reviewer initially thought the line was “kill me or turn me in”, and then analyzed those two choices as neither being appealing to Luthen. Of course, it’s “take me in” which is utterly different.

I am a fan of delicious flavor!

It’s enjoyable, but the best part is the visuals. “Sumptuous” is the word that comes to mind thinking of the colors and textures in that movie. Plus the dress! To me, a not insignificant factor in a Cinderella adaptaion is The Dress. Both the 2015 Cinderella and Ever After succeeded in that category.

The Jean-Luc Picard school of British Frenchness.

It’s a go-to pick me up movie for me - still in the dvd case with That Thing You Do and The Mummy for when I was clocking lots of hospital waiting time last year.

By the way, because Disney now owns 21st Century Fox, Ever After is now streaming on Disney+, despite not being a Disney movie.

This is absolutely my guilty pleasure movie. If others find it too saccharine or cannot suspend disbelief in the Drew’s wavering accent, I cannot blame them but yet, this is something I can watch endlessly and enjoy every single time. It is lovely and fun and the world feels right at the end of the movie.

Nah.

The reason that this year’s movies feel risky is because the MCU doesn’t have narrative momentum right now. From the moment Sam Jackson appeared at the end of Iron Man, there was a destination ahead—The Avengers. From the moment at the end of The Avengers when Thanos showed his face, there was another destination…

I don’t know Her.

From Wings to Galaxy Quest to MIB to Mrs Maisel to Monk. Tony Shaloub is one of our finest actors. Totally underrated. Monk is a great series to binge because they do a really good job of showing his progress throughout the series.

Bittersweet?

My impression was, in the scene from the season premiere where the Russians invaded, when Diego twirled off the car he actually deflected the bullets being shot at him. They curve, I believe, which is one of the reasons I was intrigued by Diego’s obsessions with JFK. So definitely a new facet of his ability but I…

For me the part in which Vanya’s siblings try to get to her was the most compelling part of the episode. In the last season she turned out to be the one who destroyed the world and her siblings imprisoned her and then almost killed her. When Diego said “Vanya’s always the bomb” last week I was afraid they will try to…

Out of curiosity, I just looked up what Brett Dalton’s been up to recently. His last live action role was a hallmark movie this year called Just My Type, co-starring with Bethany Joy Lenz, ie. Stephanie Malick, last seen getting the kiss of death from Hive/Brett Dalton. Funny how things work out.

He spent year in present with tech bros. So probably during Christmas.
