AMEN!

The only comedy movie one needs to see in their life is the 2004 classic Soul Plane.

I caught Newhart on tonight's Tavis Smiley—i've never seen Tavis crack up to that extent before! It was quite amusing. He clearly loves Bob Newhart! I'm looking forward to tonight's Carmichael and David Alan Grier twofer interview.

I liked Sinise…of course i just about almost always like Sinise in anything quite honestly.

oh i caught a movie that i think you would enjoy at least the premise of—it was a movie called "I Dream In Another Language" the plot reminded me of something out of Northern Exposure to be honest with you—it was a movie about this linguist goes deep into Mexico to find the last two speakers of this language that's

it wasn't nearly hammy enough to be channeling RuPaul to my opinion quite honestly. He kind of walks thru the thing with a pretty firm deadpan thing happening. The energy level isn't remotely RuPaul level.

Elba plays it very dry and laconic and he's fine.

its not really lively enough to be razzie worthy—i thought he was all right/fine for what the role required of him…which wasn't much beyond being threatening but in a calm/deadpan way and not a yelling/over the top way. He's not a great villain here, but i'm also not complaining about him or the way he played it.

I'm not even sure what could've saved it beyond a total re-imagining of what they felt the end should be like, because it is not the kind of epic show down that the film should be building to by any means. It has the impact of like a first or second fight rather than a big ending showpiece.

i would actually take out the decent since it makes it sound like i'm recommending it which i'm not…i thought it was very, well average or generic. Like its watchable, but its not in any way particularly good with maybe the exception of Idris Elba who's at least trying to give a performance here. (I said that

Also on tonight—we're at the 2nd to last episode of the season of Nashville over whatever channel its on. (Country Music Channel right? I don't know its rerun on Nick at 10)

Oh i know Savoy! EXIT TO EDEN!!! DR. JEKYLL AND MS. HYDE! NO ESCAPE! LIGHTNING JACK! STEAL BIG STEAL LITTLE! (ahh Savoy!) THREE WISHES!

The ending is truly lousy tho—the whole climactic fight sequence really feels weak. (my friend literally asked me if this was a rough cut, and i said its getting released nation wide tomorrow night, this is it!)

This is more or less what my friend said afterwards…I said well people have been wanting to see this for a while…it'll prob have a solid opening weekend, and my friend countered with yeah but word of mouth on it is gonna be terrible, i mean it is fairly chintzy with the effects…it has the look of like something lower

Happy 3rd of August!!!!

if you can buy the reason that Trump hired The Mooch as a distraction from the disaster that was the GOP's attempt to "fix" Obamacare, than maybe that could be counted as a success since The Mooch did clog up a lot of airtime on the news networks during that week—also known as LAST WEEK!!!! (I capitalized that cause

Technically Get Shorty actually beat White Man's Burden to theaters by a full month and a week—Get Shorty was a late October release (mid to late October) and White Man's Burden was early December.—Both in '95.

I saw it in a theater! An almost completely empty theater! It was at that theater for exactly one week. It was the week after Thanksgiving—that first Friday in December which is typically very, very quiet in terms of studio releases so yes definitely dumped.

you should see the Travolta film sometime, its really quite good—i mean everything in it works really, really well. Its very snappily paced too, I would very much recommend it. I liked the book a lot too, but if you don't feel like reading it, the movie actually was the rare creature that captured the spirit of the

Hahahaha! I like that! I actually watched that one while it was airing! (again i gotta reiterate how bored i got by CSI Miami at times during its decade long run—i stuck with it like a loyal CBS man, but there were times there where a new shiny thing would be airing against it and i'd be like "well what do you got new
