IMO, this was not good at all. Not very funny, not very romantic, and didn’t care to delve into any of the truly interesting issues that the plot kept touching on. The only good thing I can say about is that the pop songs were well-written. Most of them sounded like they could be real boy-band radio hits. Sad they…

I really wish Amy Schumer would stop getting work, but I guess it makes sense for her to appear in this, given that Seinfeld’s making the news for being tone-deaf.

I can tell you exactly why he didn’t write an hour of stand-up about it instead. My friends and I saw the Seinfeld/Gaffigan tour last year and it was pretty tough. He had some potentially funny premises but the only punchlines were an exasperated voice. Luckily Gaffigan’s half mostly saved the night but I was…

Oh, Charles. Charles, Charles, Charles. So naive.

Jennifer Westfeldt being involved is what piqued my interest about this movie; her writing is great. I remember being about 12 years old and riding my bike to a video rental place outside of my neighbourhood because I was convinced someone might see me renting Kissing Jessica Stein and tell my parents I was queer...

There was a time not too long ago that this site would’ve been rightfully mocking pop start ego-wank like this. Now you’re writing about it like it’s a transcendent film-making experience? This sucks.

Except in this particular case the bakery has thrown out a perfectly good loaf of bread, so the options are either take it and eat it, or let it go to waste. You cannot buy the bread because the bakery refuses to sell it. So taking the bread is the most moral option; at least that way you’re not wasting the result of…

My friend, I generally agree with you. Until this month I had max, paramount, apple, Hulu, peacock, showtime, shudder (included with amc), youtubetv, Disney plus, amc plus, mgm plus, and Jason. I don’t mind paying for the thing. But in extreme cases where there’s no physical media or a digital copy once it’s off a…

It seems to me that a self-inflicted loss shouldn’t count the same way, but then again I’m just a random guy and not a massive multi-media company with expensive lawyers and accountants on the payroll to lobby for and then exploit dumb tax loopholes.

I was happy for the that shining window where I could pay for maybe three services and get nearly all the content I wanted.  Unfortunately it slammed shut once everyone starting pulling their shit to their own service.  I think cable was cheaper than having a half-dozen or more streaming services.  I still pay for…

I’ve been mocked for holding onto my DVD collection. This is why I held onto my DVD collection. 

Ahh, it’s the old “This doesn’t personally impact me; therefore, this must not be a real problem, so I’ll just make fun of it instead” reply. Gotta love those.

In my case, that is definitely true. I’ve dabbled with some of the other streaming services, but Netflix is the only one I’ve maintained a subscription with since the beginning (either my own or using my SO’s). I’d say a solid 50% of their original content I would never even consider watching, but their back library…

To me the second piece is the more important one. Having a deep library that justifies paying a monthly subscription cost instead of getting it for a couple series. I remember getting Netflix when it was the only game in town and thinking I could watch for months and not repeat myself. Or when HBOMax finally levelled…

It seems to me the draw of a subscription to any of these streaming services is twofold: the buzzy new, original shows/movies (each of the streamers has at least a few), and the back catalog of older TV shows/movies that will sustain subscribers between seasons of the new stuff.

By depleting the second part of that…

“Licorice Pizza? Eating that sounds worse than getting shot by Alec Baldwin!

the rape discussion with the coach and the football players was such that I thought they could plausibly show that to high school boys to get the point across about consent. Funny and informative can be a killer combination in the right hands and to the right purpose.

I stole this, but the real joke was: “Alec Baldwin is here, expecting his seventh child. Man, do you ever shoot blanks?”

It’s just so... labored. She’s taking two ideas that have no relationship to one another and just trying to awkwardly mash them together. The punchline is a total non-sequitur, it’s like one of those Family Guy cutaway gags. You could just as well say: ‘The Power of the Dog? More like the Power of Alec Baldwin’s Gun!’…
