It’s I’m Alan Partridge for me, every time. Yeah, nuance and humanity and sensitive empathetic sides and exposing the fragility under toxic masculinity and whatever, they’re all very well and good. But sometimes you just want to watch a massive wanker be humiliated. 

I was thinking the other day about “The Upside of Anger” and what a weird, icky plot twist it had for a basic, harmless romcom.

This reminded me of The Pit from 1981. It’s fantastic.

It’s to early on a Monday so I read that as Naomie Harris plays Shrek in this.  

Kurt wasn’t connected? His band consisted of the drummers from Garbage and the Foo Fighters, and he was married to the lead singer of Hole. He was *surrounded* by celebrities.

This back and forth seems needlessly reductive and prefer not to feed a competition that doesn’t need to be—Billie Eilish might be calling out fans because fan interaction has changed in nearly 30 years—but I just going to take this opportunity to post this link:

It’s always dimly entertaining when the college freshman who just got a C in their arts course logs on

For all of the behind-the-scenes drama, the editing (also maybe cinematography) of this one just works. There’s a rhythm and momentum to the cuts that hits me deepdown, right from the first scene with Mikkelsen & Mendelsohn.

It is super bizarre that the exact same parent company can be so permissive with their directors doing weird shit in one franchise and so conservative in another (especially because “doing weird shit” is exactly why we all fell in love with Star Wars in the first damn place!).

Captain Marvel is a hyper-violent satire of capitalism gone haywire in which a company sells an obviously immoral product as a solution for social ills that they themselves created?  Wild?

“No problem with someone liking a film that I don’t.”

The Last Jedi was a steaming dog turd.
