I didn’t think it was possible for me to love Elton more than I do but here I am loving him more.

A slow-speed kidnapping that hits every red light does indeed seem like the most Larry David way to get kidnapped, yes.

The fact that he only used three fingers killed me.

Who spends $18.50 on a standard [m]ovie theater ticket?

My girlfriend is a wonderful woman. She’s smart, kind, hard working, and gives generously to her community. But she is also one of the approximately 5 people on this planet who are actually excited for this film, and for the life of me I cannot understand why or how someone so seemingly rational could feel that way.

He was such a fun deliberately two-dimensional villain. “I’m about to become a God. Hanging my dick out just feels excessive"
