ehhh... Wasn’t big on Eastern Promises. It felt like he was trying to be respectable again. If you liked it, I can see why - it’s not like it was a badly done movie or anything, so I’m not saying it was bad. But for me it didn’t click at all - it didn’t hit me as good and for me it wasn’t bad enough to be interesting.

I am far from snobbish in movies - I like MCU as well as other, more serious stuff. But it can’t be denied that there is a certain sense of assembly line filmmaking in MCU. Some of their movies stand out - and I have to be honest and say I haven’t seen this one yet so it may very well be one of those - but even for…

I’m actually more surprised Lyle, Lyle Crocodile is doing well. That was a movie that I assumed would pop up, do well for one week and then go to streaming.

I haven’t seen that, TBH. So it may be good.

Well, obviously Loki and Thanos.

Used to be but.... Recently Cronenberg has just been reliably boring. Ever since “A History of Violence” he’s been too respectable to be either good or entreatingly bad.

TBH, Speilberg is one of the few directors whose name makes me notice a movie. Him, Scorsese, David Lynch and Baz Luhrman... that’s about it at this point. With those directors I am not always guaranteed a home run but at the very least I know I’ll get an interesting failure. And odds are I will get a good movie.

Actually... Not only would Brown be a good person to cast as Spears but I could easily see that biopic quickly becoming a guilty pleasure for me.

I think Boseman was a fine actor. It’s mildly sad he never really got a role he could have truly sunk his acting teeth into, but what he did get he tended to elevate a bit.

My opinion - Boseman was good. But that first Black Panther movie was... not as great as many people want to claim.

I am excited to see the second season. In the first roughly 2 episodes I was kinda on the fence about season 1... and then it seemed to kinda click together. Once season 1 did that it was great.

People realize that Dobby wasn’t a real living thing, right? I mean, I know we have to deal with flat earthers and anti-vaxxers and all but I just kinda assumed that we hadn’t become stupid enough to think that fictional characters have a physical gravesite...

When I was way too young to be doing so... every Sunday night my father and I watched 60 Minutes, The Waltons and MASH. To this da the latter two’s theme music takes me instantly back to those one-night-a-week TV binges.

It makes sense, actually. Black Adam is a Shazam villain, yes, but he’s a rather complex one and trying to do his introduction right in a Shazam movie where the focus does have to be on Billy, would not work well.

It depends - if they try to pass it off as perfectly okay it’s one thing. If they do a Ske-Hulk style self referential comedy in terms of it... that might make it work.

Wow... a movie made to basically advertise Spirit Halloween stores actually has a trailer that looks more upscale than the Munsters.

Yeah, definitely Santa Clarita Diet - great show.

Really hoping Stranger Things reins in this bloat to their episodes... This season has consistently needed to cut out about 15-20 minutes per episode. It was a good season but it would have just been better if the pacing was thrown off by what feels like padding.

I thought the last episode was pretty clever. Not particularly great but clever - making the ghost that was bothering the characters be Rod Serling was kinda smart in a meta commentary way. Peele is good when he’s playing in that space and so it generally worked for me. But a lot of the rest felt just kinda bland... I…

I’m looking forward to Sandman. It sounds like Gaiman is actually trying an adaptation rather than a straight translation with that series and that excites me a bit. I wish more stuff was done like that - Movies/TV are different from Comics/Books so adapt, don’t just translate.
