Well, the Red Sox appreciate data more than most baseball teams.

I could definitely do with more of Brad Pitt’s sexy bald Israeli sidekick.

Everyone stay calm, this flight comes equipped with a Brad Pitt.

Vampires and bodily functions. Ok, it varies with every incarnation, but generally, most Vampire mythoi agree that a vampire is dead. No biological functions apply. Vampires don’t breathe, they don’t defecate, they don’t urinate, they don’t sweat, they don’t drool, they don’t get sick, they don’t get sexually aroused…

B movie stunt guys turned directors just nailed it on John Wick. Slick fights that you can actually follow what’s going on. They trust their actors to do their choreography and it shows in spades on film. No trying to ‘heighten’ the experience with spastic cuts and shaky cam nonsense.

The tunnel scene in Snowpiercer. That was the moment I was completely onboard with it. And the torchbearers bringing them light... woof.

Hammer time!

:)

By coincidence, I gave a talk on superheroes at a local children’s library last week. No surprise, none of the kids had a clue who The Phantom was (and neither did the youngish librarian), but they were pretty sure that “Captain Marvel” was a woman . . . .

Probably just as well I didn’t bring up the Scarlet Pimpernel.…

Seriously. Do they not have soap in the Nolan universe?

C’mon guys! Make the exception...

No Dredd/Judge Dredd?!?

Although, as X-Men: First Class is in my top 5, I’m sad to see it so low.

After seeing this footage I’m no longer on team “I’m ok with Margot.” She’s just too young to play the psychiatrist turned psycho that makes Harley so much fun. She looks like a kid in this.

Ok there is big difference between sexy and sleazy, and this isn’t sexy it’s sleazy and embarrassing for everyone involved.

I would love to have seen Jeunet et Caro do the remake of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. It would have had that dark Tim Burton-y feel, but it would also feel old, European, analog, warm... can you imagine the crazy machines that would have filled a factory that they designed?

Bruce Timm and Paul Dini would have made made an actual Superman movie rather then the stinking pile of dung we got in Man of Steel.

Horrifying.
