One great little touch in that scene is that he missed the breakfast deadline so tightly that the meals are still stacked up right behind the counter, and the employees could easily just grab one if they wanted, but still insist on going down the company line probably because they’re terrified of their boss.

Didn’t you get the message? This site is supposed to hate everything about Quantumania.

The movie manages to be simultaneously anchored to the exact time it was made (DFENS being a defense contractor who just lost his job due to the end of the Cold War) and more relevant than ever (pathetic middle-aged white guy snapping and going on an increasingly violent rampage).

The horrific stuff she went through while making the movie probably has her wanting to stay far away from it.

And odds are we’re never seeing her in Deadpool again either.

One of his best is Big Trouble, able to make the character genuinely threatening without totally derailing the comedy like what happens in the book.

Not into reading comprehension, are you? The whole point is she doesn’t have an outlet.

And in the most predictable development in the history of time, it turns out all the chuds who were complaining about Cara being a big tough woman until Carano started agreeing with them about the Nazis not being that bad, are now perfectly happy to go right back to that, slamming her new movies with the Daily Wire

Which is Alderaan, so that’s especially stinging.

Made all the better for having absolutely no attempt to explain why he hears that name instead of Costanza.

The film Beyond the Poseidon Adventure literally exists because they screwed up the effect for the ship sinking in the first film so you don’t actually see it sink.

“Crackodile” was right there.

Soldier of Fortune had a hard time filling the cast, because not many big stars of the time wanted to go to Hong Kong to make it. Grace Kelly and David Niven both dropped out before it ended up as we got it.

I recently gave Yellowstone a shot, and ended up bailing on it because it fails to understand something this show gets: everyone can’t just be the Kendall. Someone has to be the Connor, the Shiv, the Roman.

Their ensemble cast award was presented by self-admitted Asian hate crime committer Mark Wahlberg. At least he didn’t do anything truly unforgivable, like slapping Chris Rock.

Another neat mythology gag: In the second game, Ellie plays Take on Me the first time she finds a guitar.

And Le Carre actually despised the Bond series for that very reason. Which makes it pretty amusing that Bernard Lee appears in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, as an innocent bystander who’s beaten up by the “good guys.”

As far as I can remember, Natalya is the only Bond girl with a significant amount of screen time before she crosses paths with Bond, serving very well to give her agency of her own in the story.

In that case, the one big change is that in the game, all the arcade games are broken, and Riley has Ellie close her eyes and talks her through imagining playing it, creating much more intimacy between them. I have no idea why they changed it, as needing to get the game footage probably just made it harder to film.

This show’s production reminds me of Roger Ebert’s line about Kermit the Frog riding a bicycle: I don’t want to know how they did it, I prefer to think it’s just real.
