In the words of Augustus, IS THERE ANYONE IN ROME WHO WOULD RATHER WATCH I, CLAUDIUS INSTEAD?!

Domitian also eschewed a lot of the nepotism that was very common, and hired those who could do the job rather than just going for the nearest relative. Autocratic he absolutely was, but honestly not any less so than other well-remembered ones, even ones like dear old uncle Claudius (though the second half of his…

I kind of hate the idea of depicting Domitian as a wide-eyed crazed schemer. Domitian was a sidelined second son, who often preferred the company of regular people to high-ranking officials. He ended up being the longest ruling and most successful of the Flavians. He’s remembered the way he is because he was…

I just recently rewatched this and was not disappointed.  Yes, the  soundtrack is great, but so is the whole damn movie.  A faithful adaptation of Richard Price’s novel and also the Ducky Boys are among the scariest things I’ve ever seen....

I don’t think I’ve ever read an analysis of “The Wanderers” that actually *underplays* and soft-pedals the Dylan ending, which recasts and re-contextualizes *all* the diagetic music that preceded it and was the obvious end-point from which the entire story was engineered. Kaufman took an arena that Lucas had freshly…

I dug the Ducky Boys. Just a legion of hardscrabble Irish kids who did not give a FUCK.

I did not expect a deep dive on The Wanderers, but I don’t hate it! I owe it a rewatch.

I think “Dont Change” is a great pick. Definitely hearing it out more these days.

Maybe you should write your own reviews then, happywinks.

Insert Norm Macdonald clip about how he disagreed with Patton Oswalt that Cosby’s hypocrisy was the worst part, but that instead it was all the rape.

The worst part is probably his terrible actions.

I genuinely feel like Shrinking reinvigorated him. That was the most engaged I’ve seen him in any project in a very long time.

Yup like Man Ape they’re just going to call her by her real name.

There are always ways to turn a controversial subject or character into a good conversation, so I’ll reserve judgement until I see it.

The original Captain America trilogy is easily the best and most rewatchable of all the MCU output, so this has a high bar to achieve. But it feels very promising that this appears to be going back to the “genre film stuffed into a superhero” mold that those films did so well. And Mackie is great in this role. Fingers…

Whoooa, Ignatiy!

Love this show. And as the dad in this scenario, I’m wondering... do I remember what happened on it?

They did a pretty great job with the actor they got for Young John Lighgow too.

Disappointing to not see any What We Do In The Shadows news, but I’m taking that to mean they’re taking their time make the final season extra special

I can’t believe that dumb “syfy” branding has lasted all these years.
