Given that those balls have swollen to the size of cantaloupes if someone doesn’t slap them out of her mouth she’s in big trouble. On the bright side, at least they’re sterile, so she doesn’t have to worry about infection.

Well, I’ll say that if that picture is Minaj in research mode, that’s one of the cooler lab coats I’ve ever seen. But come on! You’ve got to wear goggles in the lab, Nicki!

Yeah, it just didn’t feel like he accepted that until Man of Tai Chi (which he also directed). That was the first time I saw him act where it actually looked like he was having fun, devouring the scenery as the movie’s villain.

Thank heavens someone told them, “Maybe we don’t need a girl’s choir covering the song in a minor key to make White Rabbit sound sinister...”

The Architect wanted him to save humanity just as his predecessors had.

Neeson was always a really good actor, even when he was choking on a backwoods Kentucky accent in Next of Kin. He’s gotten even better as he’s gotten more comfortable in his own skin, but the bigger thing is that Hollywood has relaxed around the idea that he could drop most of his attempts at accents and just do a…

While I enjoy some of the ideas involved, the Architect’s motivation in the big speech scene makes no sense to me. It would make sense if he was trying with all his might to manipulate Neo into choosing the door to the source, the choice that keeps the machines’ power supply going. I’ve seen videos that try to argue…

He might be the most dramatic example I’ve seen of an actor getting better with age.

Well, if you didn’t know anything about the Matrix, the trailer still has the appeal that the first Matrix’s trailer had—a bit of mystery and a lot of cool-looking action and effects. And I doubt your kids are that ignorant of the originals—I recently showed my kids the original and Reloaded, and the reaction was a…

Deep agree on Reloaded, whose only problem is that it wrote a bunch of checks that Revolutions couldn’t cash. While I liked Ian Bliss’s performance, I think it was a missed opportunity making Bane a white guy who looks like Weaving. It would’ve been a trip if they’d had someone like Harold Perrineau or Gina Torres…

The two sequels have (most) excellent fight scenes

Well, Jada Pinkett-Smith is in this, and most of her sequel performance was, apparently, for the video game. So...probably?

Yeah, unless LW’s spouse is completely clueless about his husband’s sexual needs (needs he apparently met for 9 out of 10 years of their relationship) his actions smell like a real passive-aggressive attempt to get LW to dump him. He’s basically flipped the narrative from their relationship falling apart due to his…

Yeah, but getting back to OP’s question that I was responding to (and the letter that inspired it) are those married guys out to their spouses? Because my experience (based on working on divorces) is that a lot of people who are successfully hooking up at cruising areas or on apps don’t come out to their spouses,…

You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Under the terms LW#1's spouse put down? Leave. That’s the classic “I get to do what I want to do, and you get to do nothing but are required to support me” deal that a lot of Savage Love correspondents seem to get offered, and it’s hard to believe that anyone who’d propose such a self-centered arrangement could be or…

If you’re in entertainment, you get an entertainment lawyer. You ask them to read your contracts and to answer questions like “do I retain copyright under this contract,” not the studio. If you want to keep copyright and the contract doesn’t allow for that, you get your lawyer to draft revisions that allow you to do…

CHOKED said his spouse was unemployed, not a homemaker who’s sacrificed their career to support CHOKED or raise a family. Between that and the relatively short length of the marriage, spousal support would not necessarily be a slam dunk if he’s able bodied and just not working right now. CHOKED could voluntarily…

That “don’t remember anything” effect is Solo all over. It wasn’t bad so much as not at all special.

You’re right I didn’t go to the movies, even pre-pandemic as much as I used to in the pre-streaming era. But “it was the only place you could see it” wasn’t ever the thing that got me into a movie theater when I’d go. Quite to the contrary, every movie in the streaming era has come with the awareness that I’d be able…
