Absolutely agree :-)

*prepares for an intensely derogatory onslaught due to a difference of opinion*

Lulz alright.

The moment Daniel Craig opened his mouth and let that accent out, I thought, “Oh, this is a bit”. Cut to an hour and half later and, ni, that accent was meant to be real. “Funny” only in the sense that watching a dung beetle roll turds into balls is kinda sorta funny when you think about it.

Just shouting out ‘Hello Earth’ and ‘Under Ice’… incredible, haunting songs.

Hooooo BOY! Saw this trailer twice this weekend (saw Strange with two different groups - and, meh), and when I tell you the theater was dead silent during and immediately after the trailer I mean you could’ve heard the carpet yawning. And it wasn’t a rapt sort of silence, either - it was just a collective shrug. The…

Am I alone in absolute loving The Nevers? I feel like coverage of the show (here, indiewire, etc.) has skewed toward the negative. I just inhaled the show over the last two days and have fallen head over heels for it - the acting is fantastic, I adore the cast of characters, the storyline isn’t twisting itself into…

Fair and balanced.

I will absolutely be watching this, as I tend to love and forgive these sort of movie’s obvioes flaws. However, I’m like, 87% certain this will be my face at the end of it :

Either Big dies and Aidan shows up at the funeral, then “rescues” Carrie from her devastation. Or, Big goes to jail for some reason (any reason). I feel like that’d be a less awkward prelude to Carrie and Aidan bumping leathery, Cabo Wabo scented naughties.

It was only around a hundred years from the time of the dilithium explosion/depletion/whatevs. The time jump of the ship is nearly a thousand years... I’ve noticed a lot of people making the same mix-up and then having the same complaint, which is the show writer’s fault.

I don’t have enough words to adequately describe my Twitter hatred, and I agree with you generally. Just like religion, though, we’ve imbued Twitter with deeper meaning and relevance. Twitter is meaningless and pointless and insidious and divisive, but so is religion, ALL religion, but laws and entire societies are…

Finishing Half of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie... not my favorite of her works. Something about this one feels a little repetitive, even if the central story setting is interesting enough; just feels lipke a remix of her better works. Purple Hibiscus is still my personal fav of hers.

Shame she couldn’t deepfake herself some lips, or less real estate on that forehead.

Esther’s Frankie? Or my Frankie? Or, will any old Frankfurter do? Perhaps a kitten named Poundcake, too?

Yuh know... there was a lot to like mixed into the mess that was Cloverfield Paradox. I rewatched it lately and, yeah, it’s not a well made movie. Like, holy crap what a tonal mess. And that arbitrary, eyeroll of a “twist” ending. And the always exhausting smart-people-doing-stupid-things trope... and and and.

Honestly, I feel like Us has been is most successful to date in terms of story, twist, and presentation. I actively like what he directs/produces, but I feel like his work does require you to wear certain blinders and ignore some poor choices in favor of how likable the writer/producer/director is.

Sad part is, the anti-trans comments isn’t what did her in - she was free to post that shit all day long. It was comparing being a Trumplican to being a hunted Jewish person during the Holocaust that cut her stupid ass off at the knees. She deserved to be fired for those comments alone, certainly, but it really dis…

Could we maybe retire this and Robin Hood from production for, like, twenty years or something? Because every other year, we have a b or c-list director popping up with their “original retelling”, “dark reimagining”, “edgy and violent” retelling of the exact. same. STORY. over and over again. And again. AND AGAIN.…

It’s like they said, “Let’s remake Birds of Prey for the crowd who thinks Hot Topic stores are for Satan worshippers!” The movie looks about as edgy as a plate of brownies... as solid as a bowl of jell-o, and Emma’s accent is rockier than them mountains. *centers self*
