Huh, as far as I can tell there are just shorts, with the most recent being from the 40s.

When are we getting our Krazy Kat feature!?

Lyle Lyle Crocodile (the movie) is not without charm - the cast are great - but it plays like a second rate version of Paddington where the day is won not by humility and understanding but by showing off.

Sigh. I long for the days when a film such as The Graduate could rake in hundreds of millions of dollars and end up the highest-grossing film of the year. What a concept.

No Way Home really felt like a reactionary film made specifically for handling Sony’s attempt to pull Spider-Man out of the MCU if they didn’t get more proceeds. It seemed to only exist to cut all the ties Spider-Man had to the rest of the MCU since they had previously been building him up as Iron Man’s successor. Now…

I’d agree that Loki is one of the most interesting villains. He might win the sexiest Marvel villain (along with Killmonger).

No Cronenberg?

Alex Garland and Robert Eggers are that for me now. 

You’re right, it feels like the smart play would be to establish one of them (oh, I don’t know, maybe the freaking Oscar winner who plays a great character?!) from the go as the lead character; no pussy-footing (cat euphemism, get it?) around and being coy about who’s the lead character even if that character doesn’t…

I thought the movie transitioned very awkwardly from the Ulysses Klaue half to the Killmonger half, and yes, the final battle was just bad. I liked the first film mostly because I was already a fan of T’Challa and I liked Boseman’s performance, so, there’s really no reason for me to go see this film.

Yeah - I got the sense that the optimistic premise of Wakanda, a technologically advanced African nation that had never suffered colonialism was the major draw.  Strip that aspect away, and it felt like a fairly generic Marvel movie.  They all use the same “hero’s journey” plot anyway, but you could probably drop…

The first film suffered from some pretty significant pacing issues (and the godawful CGI); the setting and performances were the only thing that elevated it. It was a perfectly serviceable film, but Fury Road it was not despite everyone out here acting like it.

Yeah. I remember sitting down to rank the MCU movies after Endgame (I make no claims to be a movie expert, a cinema expert, a comics expert, or anything other than a person who likes watching movies) and Black Panther was smack-dab in the middle.

Honestly I kinda agree? I loved Black Panther, and I absolutely understand and appreciate what it means to a lot of people since it was a huge cultural thing, and very, very important. But the actual movie itself, when you take away all of the significance and its impact, probably isn’t a top three MCU movie for me. I…

I think there’s something to be said about a great performance. This comes up with awards a lot where people will be like “well, I don’t understand how this is the best picture but that other movie had the best actor...” Some movies are excellent as a sum of their parts, some have one excellent cog.

The ‘Full House’ House is a popular tourist attraction in San Francisco. Same with the ‘Seinfeld diner’ in NYC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom%27s_Restaurant)

Eh, that sort of shit has always been a thing.

A random balcony in Verona was labeled “Juliet’s balcony” by tourism promoters, and for the past 20 or so years, busloads of tourists have come to photograph this structure where a fictional character never stood, and the author of the most popular version of said story never even personally observed or knew anything…

Charles Emmerson Winchester III was NOT a Brit. He was very famously from Boston -- hence the uppercrustean accent. 

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since the critics and the Discourse didn’t seem to pay much attention to them, but in Netflix originals that have wrapped*, I’d give hearty endorsements to F Is For Family and Santa Clarita Diet.
