Bob Marley apparently liked it too, because that tra-la-la riff turns up in Buffalo Soldiers, which is too weird to be a coincidence but maybe it is I don’t know I need more coffee.

I’m old enough that I think of him first as Dragos from “Jason of Star Command.” (It was a live-action Saturday morning show about a guy named Jason based out of a command post on a big asteroid, and it co-starred James Doohan.)

They’re saying this Joker won’t meet that Batman. That doesn’t mean this Joker won’t ultimately face some other Batman. If this Joker is grounded in reality, it could set the stage for a Batman that’s really grounded in reality, too, meaning a mentally disturbed rich kid whose gadgets don’t defy the laws of physics.

> my guess is that most people revert back to their old habits.

I don’t get Pete Davidson. I don’t know what he adds to SNL. He’s hardly ever in sketches, and, when he is, he only has a line or two. He doesn’t do characters. He’ll do Weekend Update sometimes, but he’s never actually funny. I honestly don’t know how he got hired or why he’s still there.

Sure will be awkward when those siblings finally get around to do a DNA test.

Lucas actually had 3 good ideas: The original Star Wars, the original Indiana Jones and American Graffiti. I read somewhere, though, that he hired a shadow director to work with the actors, but whatever. American Graffiti is a great movie.

Hollywood doesn’t care whether an adaptation is a bad thing for fans of the comic or book. Hollywood cares about making money, and if that means completely reworking the source material and keeping only the title and the names of some of the characters in order to help the marketing department, so be it.

I did this. Cookie not do street names. Cookie just say turn here, turn there. Cookie got me lost. Cookie best at eating cookies NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

Somewhere, I have Roger Ebert’s book of movie cliches, and one of them is the “idiot plot,” which is a movie that would be over in 10 minutes if the characters weren’t idiots. Season 2 seems like an idiot plot to me. Why would the women make what happened a big secret? It’s not like they conspired to kill Perry. It

I used to want to climb Everest, but then I read Jon Krakaur’s “Into Thin Air” and saw the IMAX movie about the completely avoidable 1997 Everest disaster, and then I was like, NOPE!

Then don’t listen to it.

“...even staunch conservative and planet-despoiler Mitch McConnell (R-WV) publicly admitted that humans cause it a few weeks ago.” Actually, Mitch is from Kentucky, but if West Virginia wants him, that’s fine. 

So, in Episode VIII, Ren said Rey’s parents were nobodies. Episode IX is called The Rise of Skywalker. Do you suppose Episode VIII is the Godfather Part III of this trilogy? It’s canon, but it’s OK to skip it or pretend it never happened.

Solo wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t necessary. I can imagine Star Wars becoming more of a TV property after Episode IX (kids today just don’t care), but I can also imagine Disney trying the Marvel route and cranking out a bunch of more-or-less freestanding movies, like a Rey movie and a Finn movie, and then bringing

“... the question of whether or not they want to return to Bonnie’s room is one with which they’ll have to grapple.” NARRATOR: They do return to Bonnie’s room.

Minute for minute, the funniest show on TV. 

Chuck Woolery hosted from 75-81. That show’s been around a long time.

Go Set a Watchman was basically her first draft of that story. She wrote it first, stuck it in a drawer and retold the story from Scout’s perspective. So, even though it takes place after the events of To Kill a Mockingbird, it’s not really a sequel. If anything, it’s a curiosity.

“Remember that since this TV thing is your idea, your boss is going to expect you to own the results, good or bad.” Nope! If good, the boss is going to own the results. If bad, then it’ll be the employee’s fault.
