Holy crap, I forgot all about Fortress of Solitude. I loved that book.

He’s currently starring as Al Pacino in, Scent of an Oscar, the story of the making of Scent of a Woman.

I don’t remember a lot about the book (other than his Tourette’s), except that it felt very contemporary. There was something kind of dirty about Lethem’s 1990s Brooklyn. Transporting the setting to the noir-era kind of betrays the neo-noirness of the book, making it, well, just another noir. Because the story never…

The current Spider-Man franchise won’t suffer without the MCU, assuming Sony and Watt have learned from Feige and don’t attempt the bloated mess of Marc Webb’s films. Spidey’s introduction in Civil War remains a highlight of the MCU, but Spider-Man has the strongest universe of any Marvel Comics character, that he’ll…

get ready for SHOWTIME, folks!

Why wouldn’t they? The topic isn’t specifically “studio album” and the Allman Brothers Band’s At Fillmore East is considered the band’s peak. It’s an achievement in performance that only included 2 previously released songs, both of which are considered the definitive versions. Just because inferior bands release live…

Yeah, I was not being serious.

uh, DUH

It felt like Legend of Tomorrow did that, like, every other episode during the first season.

Yeah, I think Dowd missed the whole point, which I thought was a pretty fresh approach. What made Bundy fascinating compared to obvious creeps like Gacy or Speck was how easily and successfully he navigated society and genuinely charmed people. Even the judge in his trial in Miami appeared more disappointed than…

Homer was, like, the last to vote for Trump, until the Trump campaign released an ad singing “Winner, Winner, Winner, Winner” to the Batman theme.

It’s not Mr Rogers, it’s Tom Hanks in a cardigan.

This all reminds me of Levon Helm’s no-show on early Letterman. Dave audibled and interviewed one of his producers while Levon was stuck in traffic. Levon showed up a few episodes later with some BBQ sauce to say sorry.

I thought Skyfall felt more Christopher Nolan-inspired. Quantom of Solace felt more like a lean Bourne movie.

Yeah, I think Blofeld was created by Kevin McClory

I actually kind of like Solace just because it doesn’t attempt anything more than being a straight forward Bond film - it’s kind of a throwback. Casino Royale shot for the moon and it worked, it’s one of the best Bond movies ever. Skyfall tried to shake up the formula and, other than looking good and an engaging Bond…

It was tough watching Christopher Waltz shout “I’m Dougie!”

in STEPRE-BROTERS!

I’m guessing Bond and Blofeld draw the ire of Rami Malek’s character when they destroy his expensive yacht while filming the music video for “Yachts ‘n Tramps”
