Pitch meeting:

Oh, God. I think I remember Bennifer. They made a movie where he delesbianised her and there might have been a disabled child...

No, they left out a comma. Hilaria wants you to live, clearly.

Did Brad & Jen have a portmanteau or was that all so long ago that portmanteaus hadn’t been invented?

I see you baby, shakin’ rat ass...

Maybe, but with the big franchises being sequel-dependent, it’s not a given that people die and audiences are wise to this. Marvel wouldn’t even kill War Machine in Civil War and he’s hardly the star of that film.

It’s reasonable to expect a bit of memorable music from any Star Wars movie. Not knocking Giachino. His Star Trek theme was great but he only had a month to score this movie and it shows.

Kaytoo SASS-Oh! was excellent. I liked that the rebel commanders were skeptical of Jyn and Co. I liked that Felicity Jones delivery was in keeping with a character who has suffered greatly and is just hanging-on through grim determination and street-smarts.

Bring me the head of Qvale Mangusta!

Considering what he’s doing to traffic in Manhattan, it’ll probably rain refrigerators.

So if we’re talking about a retired rapist...

It’s just a matter of carefully educating yourself on how to spot the signs.

Something-something just showing her my briefs, Yer Honor...

Hard to begrudge at this point.

And starring Peter Facinelli as Generic Handsome Composite Man.

Maybe Paul Ryan should go everywhere with Trump and translate for him, see how long that lasts.

There is such a thing as a “successfully bad” business person. These are the ones who understand that as long as you don’t stiff your lawyers or accountants you can stiff everyone else.

The oil price went in the gutter not that long ago because there was a glut of supply. The energy lobby doesn’t want industry access to all fossil fuels because it would drive down prices and profits. Wall Street doesn’t want that either because it would dilute the value of oil shares.

Chicago Cubs fans can wear it until the heat-death of the universe. They may need to.

Stephen Makes-me-nod-off.
