I think Disney’s IP should not be respected because I hate them.

Star Wars isn’t very good.

No else was in the room where it happened/The room where it happened/The room where it happened...

No prob.

I think giant franchises—Marvel, Star Wars, whatevs—are not only bad in themselves, they have actively atrophied movie people’s ability to make other kinds of films. They take a neat, modest little concept like Dr Doolittle and it gets barfed out as a huge, bloated, warped thing, refracted through the dark mirror of…

Reading Steven Fry’s book “Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold”. Helpfully clarifies a lot of the family relationship between the First (Primordials), Second (Titans) and Third Orders (the gods) of Greek mythology, plus all the triplet-sets of their progeny (the Muses, the Oceanids, the Charities, the Dryads, the…

Post some ISIS videos, that’ll do the trick. Be sure and use your real name!

I’ve probably already missed my chance to see the thing I most wanted to see in the theaters this year—Weathering With You—when I missed the Fathom Events ‘cast earlier this week.

I flew to Japan back in 2009 when Bird Flu was a serious concern. We got to sit on the tarmac while some guys in Level I suits boarded the plane and walked down the aisles with laser thermometers scanning us. Somebody probably experienced that and came up with the idea for The Strain.

A *lot* of them look exactly the same . . . except for Buttigieg who takes on a real Neanderthalian aspect. Suddenly his entire brow/forehead region seems HUGE.

Sure. So instead of slapping people’s smart glasses off for trying to surreptitiously film us, we’ll just punch them in the face and/or gouge their eyes out. I’m on it!

What, you prejudiced against Franciscan families, HUH?!

No, he’s Poe’s *slips down sunglasses* half brother.

I don’t want to play video games.
