honestly it feels like James Cameron made a pact with a demon that he would be continually making the highest-grossing film ever but that he would never be recognized for it.

Three Billboards should’ve won Best Picture in 2018.

and where is Something Wicked This Way Comes? honestly the whole list is a mess.

honestly the fantasy elements were the worst part of Game of Thrones 

it’s remarkable that in a couple weeks three of the five biggest films of all time will have been directed by James Cameron.

He recently tweeted that real alpha males spend all day at Hooter’s with their buddies rather than being at home with their wives and I’m about 90 percent sure the whole account is a bit.

He needs a Jimmy-Stewart-in-Vertigo phase.

it’s like when the banjo player for Mumford & Sons left the band so he could keep posting.

it is far and away my favorite pre-Craig Bond movie (granted I haven’t seen Octopussy)

Fun fact: Olivia Hussey wasn’t allowed to attend the premiere of the film because she was underage and the film contained a nude scene (of herself).

My favorite English teacher loves to tell the story of the time she showed a class of freshmen this movie and, without thinking it through, said, “Looks like Juliet needs a little dickey” (a dickey being a shirtfront worn to cover the cleavage). Juvenile hooting ensued.

I was never a huge fan of his Sherlock. The best Sherlock is still Jeremy Brett and the best Moffat is Peter Capaldi-era Doctor Who. The Matt Smith years were frankly a bit of a mess, for a lot of the same reasons his Sherlock was a bit of a mess.

No, they’re available in full on youtube! Nostalgia Critic, among others, has done videos dissecting all the many absurdities of the Titanic trilogy. Here’s two minutes of the most unhinged animation you’ll have ever seen - bear in mind that this is all taking place aboard the Titanic circa 1912:

There’s actually a series of animated Titanic films (“Legend of the Titanic” or some such) made in Italy, featuring a rapping dog and a very buff octopus.

The difference is that the first couple hours of The Hobbit were marvelous and the end was atrocious; with Way of Water it’s almost the reverse.

here’s the attention you wanted, now please go away

Normally I would be inclined to think this was mere fanservice (and it is undoubtedly that), but they set this up so long ago that I can’t help but be excited. Doctor Who is the rare show that can pay off an unresolved story thread from nearly fifteen years ago, which is not even particularly long in the full scope of…

There are so many great mystery shows for the budding enthusiast - Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Endeavour, Midsomer Murders, Foyle’s War, Morse, Lewis, A Touch of Frost...

at this point I’m seeing Way of Water next week specifically to spite him.

I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll never forget the Slate essay from just before Avatar’s premiere arguing that Avatar would be trounced at the box office by Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes. “Avatar is going to suck,” they wrote, “because cats with human boobs suck.”
