Oh, and it should be mentioned that the antagonist, player by Hart Bochner, would go on to be best known as the bearded LA douchebag Ellis in Die Hard.

“Jennings, Craig, and Spangenberg!”

I keep thinking that Holzhauer, like Ben Richards in The Running Man, is doing too well, so they’re going to have bring the old champion out of retirement to try to beat him, and in this scenario Ken Jennings is Jesse “The Body” Ventura as Captain Freedom.

HOLY SHIT!

That is such a great movie. It captures the awkward reality of family relationships better than just about any other movie I’ve ever seen. Wes Anderson was a producer, and although it feels nothing like a Wes Anderson movie, what it has in common is a swiftness of pace, and the feeling that you’ve just seen a two-hou…

Always loved that movie.  They actually made a TV show of it which I barely remember and which didn’t last long. It is really good material for a TV series, though, with a likable ensemble of characters, and the movie is kind of episodic anyway. They key to making it work would be the actors, and although they did…

Dooley trying to push the disgruntled customer’s car off the lot, Dennis Christopher offering the disgruntled customer a refund, and then it cuts to Dooley lying shaking in bed after obviously having had a nervous breakdown, repeating “Refund!  Refund!”

As mentioned elsewhere, some people have to avoid grapefruit juice because of drug interactions.

I’m wondering how a San Pellegrino blood orange paloma would be.

That goofy expression makes him look like Jim Nabors. “Well, GOLLLLLL-LEE, Sergeant Carter!”

Cute teenage pop star or a nightmare-inducing thing out of some jump-scare horror film—pick a lane, Billie Eilish.

Professor Hulk was also fighting against the stones, the Soul Stone in particular. He said later that he tried to bring Nat back, but he couldn’t. The stones wouldn’t let him.  His injuries could have been a manifestation of his resistance to the stones’ will.

I think you’re right.  Nicely put.

“Oh no. Promootheus.”

Somehow I think if they had him saying stuff like that in the Avengers movies it would have rung a false note. He is full of himself and he knows how powerful he is, but he respects his adversaries for the most part. I love the part in Infinity War where he rests his hand on Stark’s head and says, “You have my…

I like your point about family. Not only did he get a family of his own, but he also connected with his dad in the past and learned how much the man loved him, even if his dad didn’t know who he was. It just occurred to me, did he pick that particular date because that was the day he was born?

I see the Avengers saga and the whole of the MCU as a redemption arc for Tony Stark. He started it all with Iron Man, and became a superhero. The Avengers marked the instant he became a true HERO, laying his life on the line to save the world, but he survived, of course. Endgame fulfills that arc by having him give…

I like how witchy she looks with her fierce expression and glowing red eyes. She is the Scarlet Witch, after all, but with that scene she earned the name.

I was really hoping he would wave his hands and say “Close-up magic!” while winking at Scott Lang.

And Star Wars? Starting in 1980 the franchise was not just continued with a sequel, but bona fide serialized entertainment. This article sounds like just a lot of hand-wringing to me.
