I’d like to briefly brag here: After Endgame I went out and bought the Jason Aaron/Russell Dauterman original run of Jane Foster Thor spanning from her introduction until “War of the Realms”. I was NOT expecting so many lines and scenes to be adapted directly from those books I read.

I wasn’t a Harry Potter kid and I…

I thought she was brilliant in Room. And I’m really glad it was the first thing I remember seeing her in, because that has given her a Free Pass for me for whatever else she has fumbled. 

Glad to see Jessica Jones appropriately high on the list. Krysten Ritter was so good & her sitcom skills really helped salvage The Defenders. 

Goddamn severance is amazing. Cannot wait for the next season. 

“It’s frankly criminal that Rhea Seehorn hasn’t already won an Emmy for Better Call Saul, let alone not even scored a nomination in all these years.”

Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette were good, but the performances I really like in Severance were Britt Lower and Trammel Tillman

These are good choices, but in addition to Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair (as G-Off has already mentioned), Joseph Quinn as Eddie Munson managed to deliver one hell of an arc, starting out as the metal stoner who I felt was offputting in his introductory scene (which I presume was deliberate) to the end where he…

Depp/Ryder was the first celebrity couple that I cared about and I remember being sad when they broke up. But it looks like she dodged a bullet there.

He doesn’t need it to be in public domain. Weird Al’s work doesn’t violate copyright (because parody is fair use, and he’s obviously parodic), he just prefers not to upset people, since his intention isn’t to actually mock them. The “asking for permission” thing is just him being nice.

she lasted pretty long for a celebrity retirement, most are back in 6 months.

I also found it curious that the review seems to criticize the “needle-drop soundtrack.” I literally just came from watching it, and there are a total of seven tracks listed in the credits. Two of them are movie/TV theme songs playing on licensed clips during the film, and two others play during the credit roll. That…

For some reason it isn’t a song I’ve ever heard just once - I won’t hear it for years, and then I’ll hear it several times in the same day. It’s as if, every few years, the universe lets down its guard, and that fucking song races to fill the void.

Despite this review, I'm hoping this is an unmitigated success. Sinister was really well set up, but the last 3rd marred what was going to be my favorite horror movie of its year. The hope is they take what worked from Sinister but this time stick the landing.

This article feels like it was written by some sort of random word generating algorithm.

I don’t know. It’s weird now. He always had pervy comedy, but he presented himself as a helpless, hapless underdog while he was doing it. Now we know he was a very powerful and well-respected comedian whose disapproval could ruin careers, so that pierces that veil and his creepy jokes just become ... creepy.

Shoeless Joe was not a “bad” guy per se. He was really dim IRL and was pressured into going along with the scam by his teammates, but didn’t actually tank during the series (8 Men Out tells that story very well). In Field of Dreams he plays it more as a guy who knows he screwed up and has been paying for it straight…

Excellent film, which I’ve seen observed as a sort of companion piece to Rush.

Narc was sooooo good

He was so terrifying as the unhinged ex-husband in Something Wild that I still remember it as a violent thriller rather than a screwball romantic comedy.
