A perfect example of the dialog in the movie that made it so ... non-actory. The famous “ET phone home” scene is capped by Gertie saying very quietly under Elliot’s shouting, “I think he wants to call somebody.”

Good stuff. Sorry about your dad.

No one can tell you precisely how your body is going to react to a virus, and thus inevitably there is some guess work and hedging here. HOWEVER, there is a quite valuable piece of information here, from a statistical perspective: if you have a dry cough AND a fever, you should call your doctor to see if you should be…

I love this. [re. the snot] “Wow ... sounds distracting.”

We are probably of similar vintage.  It’s DEPRESSING when someone suggests PJ is “classic rock.”  Ugh.  I’m so old, apparently.  

what about Taargus Taargus?

I came down here to say “this appears to be everything I hoped it would be.”  And then I saw your comment and I thought “HappyInParaguay gets it.”

formula for success right there

Yeah, this notion that Saul is somehow going to create a thriving practice by giving these folks the ability to call him for free is ... quite a stretch.  He’s been practicing long enough to know that 99% of the folks he’s giving the phones to have zero ability to pay him.  

You say “The fourth paragraph is full of mistakes and misunderstandings” but your itemized list identifies precisely one “mistake or misunderstanding” (the cocaine vs meth thing). The rest of your list is a criticism of Donna’s piece because she didn’t write something consistent with your opinion of the episode. Your…

I would’ve said this 15 years ago and I’ll say it today: Joe v. the Volcano and Heaven’s Gate are both masterpieces in their own right. Joe is joyous. It’s not a so bad it’s good movie. It’s a fantastic movie. And Heaven’s Gate is stunning in its ambition. Gorgeous to look at. It definitely has something going on. You…

a potential room temp Coke, no less.

My two go-to movies are Mean Girls and Hot Rod. Particularly:

“The lady will have the linguini with clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice.”

Spot on.  Raiders has a ton of heart at its core, and Karen Allen is a force.  She’s Indy’s equal in many ways and she transcends the damsel in distress.  All of that, of course, is shat upon in Temple of Doom, where we get Kate Capshaw crying and screaming through set piece after set piece.

my stone tablet is full!

I would have gone with “Marriage Story,” but well-played nonetheless.

The title is bad! It’s a bad title! I am definitely interested in seeing this movie, particularly after reading your review. But we don’t go to the theater nowadays on account of having a toddler at home. As a consequence, I DEFINITELY won’t remember that the Ben Affleck basketball movie is called “The Way Back” by…

same page, my friend!

The PJ fans I know were all pretty excited about Dance of the Clairvoyants.  Color me pumped.  And Superblood Wolfmoon has an energy they’ve been lacking for some time.
