I know it’s popular to ding Zimmer for phoning it in as of late. It’s mostly warranted TBH, but his work on BR2049 was excellent.

Wow. An old-fashioned “The studio head insists on putting his mistress in the picture” scandal. Seems almost quaint by today’s standards.

“I have to go now. My planet needs me.”

This strikes me as an overreaction. Loughlin may be a criminal (allegedly) but it’s not like the crime she committed is so repugnant that we have to excise her entirely from our memories. I think it would have been sufficient for them to say “The current season is already complete and will air as-is however we’ve…

Man the twitter trolls are having a seriously bad week. James Gunn their biggest scalp is back in the Directors Chair of Guardian 3 and Captain Marvel blew away the competition.

Wayne’s World is a perfect movie. Every scene is funny and full of random flourishes (multiple endings), cinematic devices (focus pulls) and vignettes (Garth drum solo) that is clearly the work of an incredible director. There’s a reason why the sequel wasn’t nearly as good. 

Congratulations, you just won a No-Prize!

Sure, if you leave out literally everything else like his cultural impact, philanthropy, his overall place in the zeitgeist even a decade after his death, and so on.

I’m pretty ambivalent about this too, but not so much because his legacy is “complicated.” I’m not trying to be accusatory with the scare quotes, I just want to acknowledge that his legacy is both complicated and not complicated at all. He was a great artist who was also a moral monster who preyed on children. It’s…

At least now we have a time frame for the Simpsons to work out what to do about Apu.

You have compared Mulaney to one of the greatest stand-up comics of all time.

“The show was that good.”

How the hell is the toilet ejector the weakest sketch of the night? That had my family gasping for air after laughing so hard.

With the demise of Louis CK (well, he’s not actually dead; he has just entered a kind of living death), John Mulaney has emerged as America’s top comedian.

2019 is gonna be awesome the last season of Game of Thrones and last X-Men film in this universe. Which means we can finally stop pretending that Sophie Turner is a good actress who has an emotional range greater than that of a cantaloupe...

When you lean into a rhyme it shatters the conversational tone of the lyric, it’s like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I love you all.

I was ordering Valentine’s dessert at Dairy Q a fancy creamery and they brought out my Blizz malt before my wife’s Smiley Face Kid’s Co hand churned gelato. Can I ask for my money back? Do I have to tip, even though I wasn’t going to regardless of your advice? Also how many napkins is appropriate to take if I want to…

I long for the day when Scott is just some b character.

I would think Dark Phoenix will be off the table for some time after Fox manages to mess that story up a second time in a few months.

At least Roma got best foreign film. I still think Favourite or BlackkKlansman (a film that handled racism MUCH, MUCH better) should have won. But I did cheer when Lee got best adapted screenplay, and him wrapped around Samuel L. Jackson made my night.
