This is good stuff, Jolie. One quick question: when you say “Rinse the pan well with warm water, dry it thoroughly, and re-season” do you mean the whole 60 minutes in the oven-seasoning process, or do you mean the 5-minutes on the stove after a light coating of oil-process? I assume it is the latter (and that’s what I…

I thought the mockumentary format had a lot of potential, but they flubbed it with bad writing. It just wasn’t very funny.
This looks fantastic!
You just won everything today. EVERYTHING.
I’m all for exploring this conceptually. I guess where I lose the script is on this narrow point: who makes the arrest? The proposed example of the car theft presupposes an arrest ... “and the culprit is caught...” but caught by who?
I appreciate that mine is a controversial take!
Can we all finally come around to the fact (that’s right, fact!) that Pontypool is fucking terrible? UGH Stephen McHattie over-acting in a virtual one-man show for over 90 minutes is painful.
Spot on. And, for me, that side effect is the most problematic. Melatonin has helped me fall asleep, but it leaves me feeling really groggy most of the next day. The negatives of that side effect (again, for me) outweigh any benefits.
There isn’t too much framing. The film itself is featured in full and accounts for probably 90% of the film’s run time.
Nonsensical is the word I kept returning to as well. The conceit is solid ... but the film-within-a-film itself is just ... nonsense. PERHAPS if the older sister was a young teen it might make it easier to swallow, but she’s obviously a mature teenager, at least 18 or 19, and more likely a young adult. So why on…
Look, I don’t know what you’re going on about or why you’re so bent out of shape. It’s weird. But here’s the thing ... your response confirms to me that you aren’t remotely capable of basic reasoning.
“the 2 million dead Americans”
If you are a spotify user, the music function of this thing will blow you away. The 245 Music is a godsend, because I don’t have to have anything but my watch and headphones when I head out for a run. Easy to load up playlists from Spotify.

This is an OUTRAGEOUSLY good deal on this watch. I have the Forerunner 245 Music, which I love, and was about to order the same watch for my wife for $299. Then I saw this deal!

Unimaginable ball sweat
I just said the EXACT SAME THING (with far less eloquence) before I read your comment. I was also 12 when the movie came out, and the utter confusion about who the hell they were fighting and why DEFINITELY bothered me, and made me enjoy the movie less. The “why” certainly mattered to me. I distinctly remember being…
Great piece as always, Tom! I was 12 when this came out, and while I certainly remembered loving the action stuff, I distinctly remember that the vagaries of the conflict at the end DID bug the hell out of me. I remember asking my dad ... “wait, who are they fighting, and also why?” It makes the movie even more dumb…
you definitely don’t know what a Ponzi scheme is
Like he’s not even doing anything illegal? He’s just a sales rep for Asti Spumanti? I’m in.
Yep, I’ll echo this comment. I’m 46 years old and can say that the notion in 1987 that Beatty was a huge star was even difficult for me, a child of the 80s, to really grasp. I remember being somewhat confused (?) when there was such a big hullabaloo about Dick Tracy. The movie was so hyped because he was the lead and…
