I’m kinda hoping that this Mario movie will turn out to be an entertaining, unmitigated crisp rat of a disaster, but it’ll probably just be unbearably mediocre. Oh well.

Yeah, the thing is: if they just wouldn’t have mentioned their annoyance, probably almost nobody would’ve noticed - so the real spoiler is, paradoxically, their reaction.

Yeah, as a comics geek and big fan of Oswalt, as a comedian and a person, MODOK was kind of a letdown, so I’m not sorry about it being cancelled.

Yeah, ‘The Memory of a Killer’, the Belgian film this is a remake of, came out nineteen years ago, and even back then, I didn’t like it all that much: highly dated editing techniques and an excessive use of colour filters, and the story didn’t hold up either - even the original novel (which is also Belgian, not Dutch…

Just after the end credits begin, a sequence is shown in which the zombie outbreak starts as Bill Murray is doing interviews for “Garfield 3: Flabby Tabby”. Using items from around the room, he fights them off. It’s painfully unfunny.

Murray’s “one-joke bit that doesn’t overstay its welcome” sadly got completely ruined by the post-credits scene of that godawful Zombieland sequel.

Maybe not in this context, as the Evil Flash in the comics is called Zoom, and things could get confusing then.

Well, I happen to agree on both matters. Call me old-fashioned, but I like my orchestras full, and my bedsheets without eyeholes, dammit.

It’s called ‘news’ for a reason - not ‘olds’.

Maybe he’s playing Ryu. Oh, wait - wrong Ken-related franchise.

Well, am I wrong, or was that a highly loquacious manner of saying: ‘Yeah, I agree, but I’m too far up this road to nowhere’? Do tell.

Oh, okay. I probably should’ve added an emoji or meme to point out your apert pedantry, as you repeatedly used ‘actually’, whilst talking about something that has not happened yet. Sorry, my bad - but do go on.

Actually?

I’m an aging punk/slacker/whatever, who’s never heard 98% of what’s considered ‘hip’ nowadays, but even I think that Billie Eilish totally deserves a Best Original Song nomination for ‘No Time to Die’ - hell, I bought the damn 7 inch when it first came out. Too bad the movie was lacklustre, to put it mildly.

More likely, it’s you making a laughing matter out of anything you don’t understand. Yeah, that fits.

I’m forty, and the first CD I ever bought was Bleach, in 1989.

I don’t think that was his purpose at all. Sure, he did have a dark sense of humor, but it was his way of dealing with anxiety and depression, so it came from a sincere place - at least, that’s my interpretation.

Speaking from my own experiences, it’s frankly insulting to even suppose what Elden and his lawyer are reading into that journal entry - not to mention they’re quoting and misinterpreting the personal journal of a troubled man, who can’t defend himself anymore.

Sure, buddy. You can repeat that nonsense all you want, but the fact is that JK Rowling wrote those novels out of her truly ignorant, blind perspective as a Caucasian, blonde, upper-middle-class, British woman, who never once in her life had experienced the true hardships of life as an underprivileged minority.

Yeah - at this point, I don’t know what kind of interesting angle Scott can offer to any story, let alone one so epic as Napoleon and Josephine’s grandiose history - romantic and otherwise. Personally, the only Bonaparte biopic I would like to see, is if some young, talented director would take all of Stanley Kubrick’s…
