A Whole New World is a fine song but it in no way “bangs” nor “slaps.”

Genies are basically Janets. All knowing and can get you anything you like.

No! Branagh? Hammy??

I had one of my favorite movie experiences when I went to see the Joss Whedon version. It was a matinee on a Wednesday or Thursday so the audience was mostly retirees. Just as I was leaving when the movie ended, this old man sitting a few seats away from me - he must have been in his late 70s / early 80s - turned to…

He needs to focus on the characters he has, finish the fucking story and then he can release these navel-gazing side adventures for the rest of his life.

Jesus Christ. Can we stop judging this work – which feels thoughtful, not over-thought, and considered, not calculated – on our assumptions about its maker? I don’t believe there’s any ‘board meetings’ here, just a woman with the talent and, yes, the contacts and resources to do whatever the fuck she wants, on her own…

is this both the Dessners, or just Aaron. Thought it was just Aaron.
And that must’ve been awkward when Bryce read about it yesterday, or even if Aaron told him earlier.

I mentioned elsewhere that I showed my kid T1 and T2 as a double feature; he had no idea that Arnold is the good guy in T2, so he was legitimately stunned when he saves John in the hallway. I wish all to hell they’d preserved the surprise when the movie was originally released.

That’s where us youths would go to get to second base.

My opinion is that T2 may be the best paced(and maybe just best) action movie ever made.  It hits the ground running and just moves the whole time. Very little time is wasted and it just moves to awesome set piece after awesome set piece.   

Hey, everybody! It’s that guy!

To this very day I still remember where I was when I first saw Terminator 2. I was in a movie theater.

That seems like the quintessential Twitter joke: a super hot, bitchy take with no nuance. I don’t agree with that assessment for any of his movies except maybe TDKR. Interstellar has a weird curveball “gotcha” ending, but I wouldn’t call that “dumb.”

RON HOWARD: Hey, that’s the movie’s title.

How is that the same? A statue honors something and people aren’t given a choice to opt-in on it. You have to seek out a tv show on a streaming service.

The plot is a bit knotty and hard to follow but Beckinsale is great and Tom Bennett is the most sublime cinematic dunce of the past several decades, incredible idiocy.

Well it’s not surprising - after all, she is still Jenny from the block.

So, is this worse than Failure to Launch? I have no intention of doing actual research, and watching the damn thing, so I’ll instead rely on the unreliable opinions of random strangers.

If a choice has to be made, how about choose from those who have too often been excluded instead of those who receive all manners of privilege? Or, if you just want to be pragmatic, the optics of making this decision are good and the optics of ignoring the situation are bad. And if you zoom out to society at large,…

The first five seasons/The Diane Years of Cheers are quite good, but the show gets better after Diane leaves. I don’t think it’s the writer’s issues, so much as the inability of anyone to carry an opposites attract, will-they-won’t-they relationship through 11 seasons. Shelley Long’s departure freed the writers up to…
