Yeah, Ex Machina will look great in IMAX. It has incredible design and cinematography. There is a reason for Ex Machina to be on a big, immersive screen.

While I fully recognize that TSA is security theater, one of the reasons that I got Pre-Check/Global Entry is so that I didn’t have to go through the body scanner anymore. No way I want to go through an automated pre-check line that purposely puts you into that damn thing.
I’ve only ever caught a few segments from it when it’s on, on mute, in my local rec center. But what I’ve seen is both actively horrible and seemingly at odds with the ethos that Karamo has tried to build up around himself on the show. There was a tonal distance between his talk show and his persona on queer eye that…
I think Karamo is a real mixed bag, but I will also admit that I have healthy dose of skepticism around social workers trying to be therapists. And that’s what I see him trying to do a lot of the time. Sometimes I think he has good conversations. Sometimes I think he lets people off the hook with regard to being…
Exactly! The home makeover is the real prize. Sure, some of the clothes are nice, but just as often Tan’s clothes can really miss the mark. The heroes learn nothing from Antoni. And really, anybody can get a shave and a haircut from a decent place on their own. But the home makeover is what really benefits the people.
I got far less interested when it became really transparent, too. Like, when they do a hero just to give their business or cause a boost, it doesn’t feel very authentic (LOL at expecting any authenticity from a reality show, I know, but at least some of the early episodes felt less manufactured).
A few times in the early seasons I felt like the show actually integrated Bobby and the home decor stuff into the show in ways that mattered. Don’t get me wrong, the renovations he did were very well done the vast majority of the time. He does great work, and I thought that most of the time he did well to adjust his…
Some of these dynamics aren’t that shocking—it was clear pretty much by season 2 or 3 that the “best friends” thing was a schtick. They’re coworkers. And that’s fine! Sometimes coworkers get petty. Not particularly shocked that JVN is all drama and not as sunny off screen, but it’s disappointing to hear how bad it…
I don’t even see how a two-state solution works if your Palestinian state is non-contiguous. That would require some kind of free travel across Israel that Israel is quite frankly never going to allow. How do you have a functional Palestinian state, if its people cannot freely travel from the West Bank to Gaza?
Prices have gone up for pretty much every cut of pork except shoulder/butt, which in my area you can still find on sale for $1.79/lb bone-in and $2/lb. boneless. In my house, we’ve just sort of shifted our pork buying—we buy less bacon and tenderloin, because those prices have risen pretty dramatically, and more pork…
I’ve got one place in my area that makes a damn good Chicago style pizza, which is handy because I crave it maybe once a year. But the other 95% of the time, I’m ordering a regular pizza from somewhere because the Chicago style is like triple the price.
I wouldn’t mind if it were just a minute before a show. But nope, they’re intercutting shows with ads, too. As you might imagine, there is no attempt to logically place the ads within the shows, so they often cut in right in the middle of a scene. It’s...not awesome. But I refuse to give Bezos any more of my money for…
Yep. Non-renewed when the contract expired. Nothing to see here. And she really shouldn’t be surprised. The breakout star of the Mandalorian has a trans sibling. Spouting a bunch of anti-trans bullshit on a set that includes Pedro Pascal seems to be a really good way to ensure you don’t get asked back.
Yes, Tom Hiddleston gave an interview probably 10 years ago when he was around 30. He said then that they knew that at this stage of his career, every script that came his way already had Matt Damon’s fingerprints on it. Basically, actors know that scripts make the rounds. Once the first tier actors pass on it, it…
I look forward to paczki day every year! (And let’s face it, paczki day is actually more like paczki week for me).
I’ve lived in this region my whole life and I’ve never heard of White French being A Thing.
The idea that DeSantis thinks he can “course correct” for a 2028 run is hilarious. How delusional is he? If his campaign in 2023 taught us/him anything, it was that the more people were exposed to Ron DeSantis, the more people intensely disliked Ron DeSantis. You cannot course correct your way into being a genuine…
I think McCarthy is about 50, so perhaps Stewart is the voice of his generation? Maybe? But he’s certainly not the voice of the generation that now forms the core audience of Comedy Central and the Daily Show.
This is really interesting to me, because Fey was just on Seth Meyers and they talked about how some of their writing for SNL hasn’t aged well. You would think she would be more conscious of how something like this would land, both in present day and in the future. It’s a weird joke in either context, tbh. It’s…
The crinkle cut fries are for sad dudes like my dad who think the curly fries are “too spicy.”
