I’ll be very disappointed if Disney doesn’t use this whole multiverse thing to bring Roger Corman’s low-budget F4 into the MCU.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve had a crush on Annie Potts ever since I saw the trailer for “Corvette Summer.”
Complaining about how people would rather watch a movie on their phones than in the theater always sounds like someone complaining about how no one wants to buy a good wagonwheel these days. The world is changing whether we like it or not.
“Gah, that’s so dark. It’ll look like crap on people’s phones. Lighten it up ... I don’t care that ‘it won’t look right’ or ‘that it’s wrong.’ Just do it!” -- some overworked marketing person at the record label who didn’t know why anyone would give a crap about a 25-year-old album by someone with only one real hit…
If a show is exceptional, it deserves to sweep, but this year, it was like, “We’ve already given a bunch of trophies to ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Barry.’ This year, let’s give’em all to ‘The Bear.’” (I started watching the pilot a few months ago, expecting a comedy, and it was a bunch of people yelling and stressful…
20+ episodes usually means one or two good ones, a few decent ones and a lot of filler. When you’re limited to 6 or a dozen episodes per season, every one of them has to count.
NPH is a theater, magic and D&D nerd. Of course he’s heard of Doctor Who.
There’s a TV version of True Lies? Since when?
Wings is woefully underrated.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
I haven’t seen it lately, but I remember liking it a lot and loving the soundtrack. I remember thinking most of the Japanese characters were 2-dimensional but I think that was sort of the point. We’re getting the story from the perspective of the disoriented Americans. I kind of wish Sofia Coppola had made a companion…
Breakfast at Tiffany’s *really* hasn’t aged well. Also, Tiffany’s is a jewelry store, not a restaurant. I learned that one the hard way.
I get that it’s probably a lot harder to get distribution for an indie film these days — you certainly won’t find them at the average multiplex — but, in a way, it’s a lot easier to see indie movies than it was in the 90s thanks to streaming. I think you have to be more proactive in finding them, though. The days of…
I liked The Mandalorian but thought The Book of Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi were pretty lifeless. Now we have Ahsoka. I hate to say it, but maybe George Lucas was right all those years ago when he said there was no story to tell after Return of the Jedi.
I knew her first from the British sitcom “Cold Feet,” which aired on some cable network. That was a good show, and Helen Baxendale was terrific, and I liked her on “Friends.” I think the problem was she was actually acting while the point of the show was mugging for the live audience and going for cheap laughs.
Hey, don’t forget that Tony Hale recreated Buster Keaton’s house fall on “Arrested Development,” although I bet there were a lot more safety precautions in place when “Arrested Development” did it.
Honestly, I’d watch a show about any of these characters. I’d watch a show about Mae’s pub. I’d watch a show about Sam’s restaurant. I’d watch a show about Rebecca and Keeley starting a women’s soccer club while Rebecca adjusts to surrogate motherhood with the daughter of that pilot from Amsterdam. I’d watch a show…
I’d watch a sequel/spinoff series about any of these characters: Ted’s adventures as a travel team soccer coach, Rebecca’s attempts to balance a new romance and surrogate motherwood while starting a women’s football club, Sam’s life as a restaurateur, Trent’s awkward but endearing efforts to become a football…
I don’t know how many times I’ve been like, “Where the hell do they go from here?” and they end up going someplace really interesting and absolutely true to the story and the characters, so, my 2 cents: Barry survives and carries on as a hired killer, Cousineau goes to prison, Hank sacrifices himself as pennance for…
Return of the Jedi was closer in quality to the holiday special than to The Empire Strikes Back. There, I said it.
