I saw Ishtar in the theater in 1987. I saw all the terrible reviews and thought “I gotta see that!” Plus, it had Isabel Adjani in it and I thought she was the bee’s knees. There were 3 people in the theater, my and my friend and one other person. I don’t remember much about the movie other than the pop song that the…

I saw QP2 yesterday at AMC and yep, signs were up that vaxxed people didn’t need to mask. There were probably 20 people in the theater for a 1pm showing. I’m vaxxed. The vaccines are not 100% effective, I know, but the CDC has said vaxxed people are highly unlikely to catch covid, and if they do they are highly…

I saw Here Today 8 days ago as my first movie in 15 months. It was really bad. But the crappy movie nachos were delicious.

Late reply, but it was interesting. Pretty straight forward, interviews with former SS and other Nazi officers, proud or regretful of their participation to various degrees. I’ve seen more horrifying docs about the holocaust, but there are still a few scenes where they show some disturbing pictures.

Well, I reactivated A-List, so I can see 3 movies a week. I saw Final Account on Tuesday, will see Quiet Place today and Cruella tomorrow. Final Account was an interesting doc filled with interviews of former Nazi officers, I think I’ll like Quiet Place but it will probably be a relative let down as a sprequel, and I…

I’m fully vaxxed and over a month past my second shot. When the CDC relaxed guidelines for vaccinated people a week and a half ago, I reactivated my AMC A-List and started going to movies again. I’m not working right now, so I have a lot of free time and have gone to 3 movies even though the good movies don’t start…

Yeah, I went in expecting to love it. As a lifelong Marvel fan I thought I’d get all sorts of clever Easter eggs, and as a fan of Patton I thought it would be really funny. But the Easter eggs are pretty shallow and the humor felt really hacky. I watched the first 3 episodes since I nearly gave up on Rick and Morty…

I never read the book but Gene Wilder was fun to watch in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Johnny Depp movie, on the other hand, was a nightmare of Johnny’s and Tim Burton’s worst unchecked tendencies. So is there some sort of untapped fandom of Willy Wonka that I’m unaware of? After seeing Hollywood mainstays…

The only Eternal I had any attachment to is Starfox because he was in the Avengers in 1983-ish (with Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel, MY Captain Marvel) when I went from casual comics reader who would throw or give away comics after she read them to serious (as serious as one can be at 11 years old) Marvel comics fan…

That’s what people said before Guardians of the Galaxy.

.

Not even a mention about Lil Nas X’s pants ripping during his first song? Is it a “high road” thing or did you just not notice?

Martin Short and Nathan Lane? I foresee some very subtle and subdued comedy from Only Murders.

Since I’m 3 weeks past my second shot and with the latest CDC guidance, I decided to go see a movie in the theater yesterday. I don’t know of anything that I’m anxious to see coming out before June at the earliest, so I just tried to pick a movie that I haven’t already seen streaming, wasn’t an old re-release and…

I really see a daytime talk show as a bad choice for Tiffany Haddish... She’d kill it, but it feels like a way to wind up a career and I think she has the potential to do so much more. She’s had some success but I don’t think she’s reached anywhere near her theoretical peak.

That felt Sarah Silverman-esque in its combination of the childish and the profane, and I mean that in a good way.

Well, everyone gets a stinker once in a while. Pixar has The Good Dinosaur (and arguably the Cars movies), Marvel has Thor: The Dark World, Mass Effect has Andromeda... But damn sure I’ll check out the next offering from all of them because their batting averages are so high.

The Good Wife/Fight is/are pretty great, but they really are a different beast from Evil and Braindead. There’s a little but of earnest West Wing-ness, but it’s much more clever, with a twist of near-30 Rock absurdity at times. The casting just might be its greatest strength, though. The regular cast are great, but…

I see some “this is the answer” comments, but honestly... This is the answer. Garak wins by a hair for me, but man, I love Quark, too.

Yeah, knowing Netflix, I foresee a 13 episode first season, 8 episodes for a second season six months later, then a quiet announcement that it’s being cancelled.
