Man, I just watched and couldn’t be more meh about this show. So far, it seems like race/soiciopolitical issues being used to cover bad storytelling and underdeveloped characters.

EVER character is a boilerplate trope, as are the issues they are presenting. I really hope some nuance starts creeping in soon.

Mind you, I…

“THIS IS NOT A KOO. FAKE NEWS. I WON FAIR. NO KOO.”

Interesting. I’m terrible with names/faces, but just figured its because i’m kind of a sociopath who doesn’t give a shit about people. 

“Oh. It’s a slide show. Fuck it, I’m out of here”.

...and native “Chicagoan” bands or artists we made up.

About 20 years ago when the social security death index became widely available online, I made a bunch of printouts of all the *unfortunate* names I could find. It was sort of fascinating, because names would die out over time as they became off-color and people changed them. Needless to say, most of the American…

“Childhood of a nation”.

Man, I used to say that, but now I work at Sexual Orientations ‘R’ US, and am obligated to nose into everything...

Watched this tonight...I liked it, but wasn’t surprised. I watch a lot of ‘60's/’70's weirdness, and Burt dug his teeth into a few less-mainstream narratives and did well there.

I WAS surprised at how good Joan Rivers was playing a “normal” person instead of her schtick. Makes me wish she had done more dramatic work…

WOULD WATCH.

It’s okay.She and Dick Van Dyke have a tontine going, and they are both too stubborn to give in.

They could have sold that with the addition of one word...when Luke tells Leia she was his sister, she should have just thought for a moment, then went:”Ugh. Gross.”

I rewatched it this week after the popcorn champs article, and YEESH is it not good...there are about 45 minutes you could edit into a movie for adults maybe, but the rest is the goddam muppet show.

...I mean, if the Muppet Show wasn’t clever enough to appeal to adults...which it was. Muppet show would only have used…

...to say nothing of the fact that I am spending the lockdown in 3 rooms +bathroom...I imagine that if you are rich and have a big house with private grounds and little things like LAUNDRY FACILITIES (Which I do not have. Yay old-school apartment living!), an in-house gym, workshop, probably in Simmons’ case a…

This is as good as place as any to point out that Dr. Phibes may be the first movie I remember seeing...my parent’s snuck me into a drive-in under blankets in the back seat (SITTER PROBABLY FELL THROUGH).

Huh. I can’t forget Carrie Coon. You and I should get together and make one normal person.

Malkovich: Malkovich. Malkovich, Malkovich Malkovich.

THAT'S GREAT MARK, BUT WHEN ARE WE GETTING THAT CORVETTE SUMMER SEQUEL?

To this day, when I picture the definitive Batman/Joker, it’s BTAS’ Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammill.

So...that whole thing with Darth and the Stormtroopers wearing masks was just end-phase Covid stuff maybe?
