Dahl was pretty much a first-class son of a bitch, so his not liking it doesn’t surprise me.

I’ve never been into that icy dominatrix look, so Ivy never did much for me. However, Taki in that skintight Ninja body suit, good lord...

So basically Mexico City is that friend of yours who ignores any music recommendations you make, but as soon as that music is featured in a movie or TV commercial, they’re all into it?

I enjoyed it a lot and I thought it was a well-made film, but I find myself rewatching Thor: Ragnarok a lot more. And I had quite a few problems with that movie, but it’s *fun*.

The part about Hemsworth’s dog being named “Mike Hat” made me laugh.  And that was seriously about it.

Agreed. And the throne room scene. I mean, good god, that’s hands down the most visually striking thing that’s been seen in ANY Star Wars movie. Lucas took elements from Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (the princess, the old general, the bickering comic-relief pair), but Rian Johnson created something thst compared…

You mean you’ve never mosquitoed before? It’s causing quite a buzz.

Glacially slow pace with a lot of filler and not enough story spread out over too many episodes...yep, I think she found her home.

“Frelong” is how Adam Sandler’s “Cajun Man” character pronounces it.

It was Li’l Sebastian’s non-union Mexican equivalent, Señor Sebastianito.

I’m really seeing Dermot Mulroney there.

Maybe try switching to filtered cigarillos, Joe.
