I can maybe understand it if the role has uncomfortable similarities to the actual bad thing that happened, like Val Kilmer playing someone with terminal tuberculosis in Tombstone. Otherwise, huh?

I’ve long thought one unrelated MCU movie before the X-Men arrive should have occasional scenes with some character not from the comics at all, hanging around the fringes of the story and picking up information about various stuff. Then in the stinger they shapeshift into Mystique.

That movie never had a chance thanks to A. the endless stream of production issues that kept it out of theaters for years after filming, culminating with COVID, and B. the guy in charge being a horrible racist who was dumb enough to actually say the X-Men have nothing to do with racial issues to justify making a…

The major issue that bringing the X-Men into the MCU has always kind of been the same as bringing Blade in: how the flying fuck do you sell the concept that mutants/vampires have always been around in this world, and we just happen to have never once heard any mention of them in 20+ movies? I’m pretty sure that’s…

Also not properly appreciating Al Jolson.

The first time I noticed it was in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. Which was genius and still hasn’t been topped.

The greatest compliment I can give is that I figured out the big twist immediately, but I didn’t care at all because the story was just that good. It also does exactly what I was hoping we’d get with Amanda after the second film, before the third ruined her.

I’m very surprised that Diego Luna getting a hugely acclaimed Star Wars role hasn’t led to any kind of major rediscovery of Open Range.

The best part of Jigsaw is that the new killer goes to the trouble of recreating the original trap sequence he was in for literally no reason other than tricking the audience into thinking it’s happening in the present day so we wonder how the hell John Kramer is back. No one ever found out about this set of traps, so…

I look forward to all the Harry Potter fans pretending they didn’t all hate him in Prisoner of Azkaban. I was there, I remember.

The way some people are talking about Ray Stevenson on this show reminds me of how a lot of people talked about Chadwick Boseman on What If, where I just want to scream at them “You realize no one had ANY FUCKING IDEA he was going to die, right? Making this role some kind of super great epitaph for his career was…

It’s incredibly fun watching the pathetic fanboys freaking out over Ezra not taking his lightsaber back and letting the icky GIRL keep it.

As William Shatner put it, “I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.”

The guy so hot that Sally Draper couldn’t help masturbating to him right next to her sleeping friend.

I’ll just point out that the most awarded movie of all time, which also made a shit-ton of money, is a totally unrestrained trip through its creators’ minds that feels like it was written by every single thought that happened to briefly float to the top of their minds going right on the page, including a fight over…

Most of all, it exposes how many people get into the restaurant business with absolutely no idea what they’re doing. I know I could never handle owning a restaurant, which is why I haven’t tried to.

Hell, everyone still calls each other “Hon” in Baltimore, to the point that there was a huge scandal when a restaurant tried to copyright it.

Not nearly as bad as the time he spends on Twitter these days lecturing people that some science news isn’t as exciting as they think it is and they should shut up about it. Remember when he was all about sharing the joy of science with the masses?

It was right after the film’s release in 1975.

Has she had a single good experience in her whole career? I know these excerpts are trending to the more dramatic stuff to increase interest in the book, but I’m starting to wonder.
