Adam Driver and Robert Pattinson. do I even need to say why
I burned through the entirety of this show in about a week since I randomly came across it, and goddamn - it’s so good! It’s perfect television comfort food, with enough moments of true greatness (via deviation from the sitcom formula, almost every time they’ve done it) to put it ahead of the rest of the pack. The…
Doctor Sleep was excellent, especially the director’s cut!
eagerly waiting for my copy of A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance by Hanif Abdurraqib to arrive. I don’t know any other writer who can so consistently transport me million of miles away from a shitty town in Australia to any location he chooses to write about, whether he’s doing a biograph…
had the biggest smile on my face listening to “This is Canon Now”. it’s wild to say but Czarface’s best asset imo is how they consistently manage to be funny and nerdy without it ever getting obnoxious or corny
pretty wild to see “1 More Hit” singled out as a weak point here when it’s the only song that expresses even a small degree of creativity, when it busts out that key change after the bridge
the Weezer album is out there and it’s perfectly fine. a more sanitised and radio-friendly version of Maladroit, for the fans who like those deep cuts, but it’s not a patch on OK Human
black magic. sick shit
“Planning My Death" by BTMI is an absolute ripper as far as his ska stuff goes
you’re goddamn right. with occasional calls to FitzSimmons for science questions... and liaisons with Mack for SHIELD stuff.... you know what I just want the whole cast back
what a terrible take! try again
throw Chloe Bennet in as Daisy Johnson and I’m content for all of time
She was really amazing in that episode. It has a reputation as a bit lightweight and silly (even for Doctor Who) but her two face-to-face scenes with Matt Smith are an absolute masterclass in acting from both parties, and more than make up for how frothy the scenes around them are. RIP
Take of which I am unsure of the temperature: I really like Sandberg’s shorts but I thought the full-length Lights Out was really bad, and I think he made an Annabelle movie which made no impression on me whatsoever. Shazam! is definitely my favourite movie-length work from him and I await the sequel with optimism
I watched King of the Monsters for the first time too, funny enough. I agree with you that it was really really bad, and I have to add that the godawful dialogue was the biggest offender. I mean Jesus who the hell decided Middleditch needed to crack a gonorrhea joke right after the introduction of the badass,…
1) Fuck Brand New.
It’s definitely not the highlight of the album for me - that’s “My Blue Heaven” easily - but it's the big lead single on the album which totally changed the game for them, and I still enjoy the shit out of it fifteen years later, so the nostalgia isn't totally unwarranted
Blackie is such an interesting character! she has this powerful femme fatale energy the first time she shows up on the series, it really comes across like she has complete agency and confidence. and then as the One Eyed Jack’s arc goes on, you realise that she’s just as under the thumb of all these despicable men,…
RIP. his delivery of bite de bullet, baby is one of the grossest, most uncomfortable and disturbing moments in all of television, which in David Lynch terminology, also makes it one of the best
