I really loved Ridley as Rey, so it’s welcome news that she’s returning. The entire main cast of the sequel trilogy was pretty damned great, actually; they kind of got the shaft in terms of the material when all was said and done.

And lord knows there’s nothing of value other than the tune itself. Puffy’s mumbling ass was shit at both enunciation and rhyme.

...so she puts out an album where she declares that she’s a grown-up and she likes to f***.

Of all the series that could have a follow-up series that would be both interesting and high quality, The Americans is up there. I would love more stories of what the Jennings (and the Beemans) are up to post-Cold War. Did Elizabeth and Phillip stay in Russia? How did Stan deal with the aftermath of losing his best…

Seems like an interesting direction; I’ll definitely watch it. I played D&D a little bit growing up, and I was obsessed with the 80s cartoon when I was a kid. In fact, based on images like what’s in the header, I had originally thought that it was going to be a live-action adaptation of the cartoon. Sophia Lillis, for…

I’m fine with hanging his treasonous ass.

Motherfucker should’ve been Gitmo’d two years ago for what we all watched him do with our own eyes. Hopefully this is just breaking the dam and Jack Smith and the state of Georgia bring the flood.

Had a student recently who had just discovered AD and wanted to write an essay about some aspect of the series, but wasn’t sure what direction to take and asked for suggestions. I offered up, “How is Michael as bad or even worse a person than the other Bluths?” The student looked puzzled for a second, then a wave of…

Someone better plugged in and/or with a better memory and understanding can correct me, but it always seemed to me like the metaverse hysteria began in earnest when Zuckerberg rebranded his company Meta, and that seemed to me like an obviously desperate attempt to change the narrative at a time when the company was…

That's another really good example.

I had friends that loved Garden State and friends that hated it. I thought it was just okay. Kind of the cinematic equivalent of a somewhat derivative, definitely middling YA novel. If I recall correctly, part of the backlash was in response to the victory lap Braff himself took afterwards. I believe he described it…

The latest actor who no one asked to weigh in on this but felt the need to anyway is Game of Thrones’ Ciarán Hinds...

Let me break this down for you, champ:

acting like those campaigning for her did nothing wrong and bear no responsibility for yet another all-white slate of nominees is inaccurate.

The January 24 nomination announcement instantly sparked a new conversation online, not one about the merits of Riseborough’s performance, but how her acknowledgment resulted in zero Black actresses landing a nomination, namely The Woman King’s Viola Davis and Till’s Danielle Deadwyler.

Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell share fiery chemistry while establishing their alter egos’ remarkable relationship.

Same author, same day:

Malachai and Isaac were legit creepy kids. They and the whole He Who Walks Behind the Rows mythos reflected in the iconography around the desolate town gave the first film a lot of low budget horror chutzpah. I haven’t seen any sequels. Does anyone know if any of them are any good?
