I find musicals are easiest to rewatch because it’s basically just listening to your favourite records. For parents, the answer to this question is “whatever my kid was into when they were three.” I’ve seen Happy Feet atleast a hundred times. 

Is it a gay Groundhog Day?

The High School Musicals are triumphs and I will die on this hill. Scream in HSM3 has a better revolving hallway shot than Inception.

Please make The Razzies stop

The problem with Ghostbusters 2016 was that it was a $150 million Paul Feig movie. It worked about as well as a microbudget indie from Michael Bay would have worked. If he made a small film that focused on characters and jokes, it might have been great. If Reitman intends to take this approach, I'm here for it, but if

If it's @fuckjerry then they probably stole all of the promotional material from Reddit 

What is the deal with current events? Am I right? Like, enough already! No more current events!

All dog movies are like that. 90% feelgood happy fuzzy feels, but that other 10% gon fuck you up.

It’s not a kids film unless it’s got an uninterrupted 9-minute take of a pitbull eating a dead hobo. 

Enlightened is better than Star Wars

I hate being a grumpy old man complaining on the internet about the brave new world of Chibnall, so I’ll just say that my 11yo daughter fell asleep during the interminable cafe scene. 

This season looks good on paper, as confirmed by this article, but the execution was poor in too many episodes. Hopefully the next season will be the same as the last, but good.

Caroline Siede is such a good writer that she made me temporarily forget that Love, Actually is a terrible film. I hope this series of articles becomes a book.

I love Annie Hall but there is a clear imbalance between the two leads. There is a subject and object in that story. WHMS (which I only saw for the first time a few months ago) has a much better balance. It should be called When Harry And Sally Met Each Other.

Wes Anderson makes pointless, soulless trinkets that exist only so the middle classes will have a distraction while civilization collapses. He will be first against the wall come the revolution.

Even the header image of this article annoyed me. Getting Fred Savage in for a Princess Bride pastiche is such a fucking Deadpool joke. I can almost hear the smugness in Van Wilder: Party X-Man’s voice when he does the Princess Bride Scene with Fred Savage and is so proud because - LOL! - they’re doing the Princess

The very definition of anxiety. Everything is fine, relatively speaking, but we’ve never been so scared. 

It’s very fast-paced and colourful and there is a talking pig in it. Your 5yo will love it.

The death is (mostly) off-screen so it should be okay. 

This is ultimately the thing. Studio expects a return somewhere in the region of Avengers/Star Wars money. Infinity War took $2bn. That is the benchmark now.
