So I can’t have been the only one to think that when Dre started playing the beginning of “I Ain’t Mad at Cha” that the 2Pac hologram was gonna show up?

....I definitely lost a bet.

Meanwhile, to Bam Margera’s chagrin, no one noticed he wasn’t there. 

Reading the comments has me reliving my huge frustration with season 1. I thought it was excellent out of the gate. I love the premise and the full context of what they established. But then it fell apart when they decided not to bother to obey the laws of physics or time or space. So frustrating! I mean, I’ll watch a…

I really enjoyed the narrative of Infinite and especially Jen Taylor’s portrayal of The Weapon as this naïve but hopeful character but frankly the “twist” that she was Cortana, or rather the pretence of it being a twist in the first place, was the weakest moment of the game because it’s the most telegraphed I’ve ever…

I think it’s partly the Pinhead effect. People think of Smith as “the bad guy” of the trilogy but the second and third film show that while he’s AN antagonist he’s not really THE antagonist. Smith is an archetypal Shape-shifter (and frequently literally so - as mentioned, the Wachowskis are not subtle) who plays both…

Recasting Smith was going to be a hard sell no matter who they got. My issue with him is that he just kinda...didn’t need to be in the movie? He could have been cut and it wouldn’t have changed anything. All he really does is have one fight scene with Neo and then show up at the end to screw with the bad guy for not…

Huh. I’ve been repeatedly told that small, serious films aren’t being made anymore due to the superhero glut, yet apparently there were at least 25 of them this year. (Presumably more, as this is a “best of” list.) I have *heard of* (not seen) four of these. I feel as though you are making up the rest.

Also he totally missed that both of them have the same last name. Big whiff.

From this list, I saw only Summer of Soul and The French Dispatch (I’m sure I’m forgetting some but I can only think of a half-dozen new releases that I saw that aren’t on this list: Dune, King Richard, The Many Saints of Newark, The Guilty, Luca, Barb and Star..., ; I assume I’ll see most in the first few months next…

The worst part in the rise of the “streaming wars” has been that the amount of content has become more important than anything.

I do not understand the love for The Morning Show. The first season was uneven, but entertaining. This season was just off-the-rails bad. I get that the Globes likes to nominate big stars to invite to their party, so the nod for Aniston makes sense. But they seem to genuinely like the show?

Brian Cox’s vibe towards Strong has a whiff of the alleged exchange between Olivier and Dustin Hoffman on Marathon Man when Hoffman was depriving himself of sleep like his character (“Babe” LOL) and Olivier told him “why don’t you try acting?” even the old guys realize after a while it’s all a goof.

He’s giving a hell of a performance in this role so at least his ridiculous methodology isn’t a complete waste of time.

Dear God, it seems as though they stumbled upon the exact right actor to play Kendall, because he’s essentially Kendall with a few less commas and zeroes in his bank account, but with more awards on the mantelpiece

I’d like to think I’d react to him like Brian Cox does, but I absolutely would react to him like Kieran Culkin does.

That is true, but remember that actors are a breed unto themselves, and film and tv sets have an atmosphere that is very different from your average serious real job. Actors tend to be boisterous, playful, kind of obnoxious people who horse around a lot and make a lot of sex jokes and otherwise behave in a way that…

What does matter is how quickly Mencken and Roman vibe

Wind River is very good. 

I’m pretty sure that the correct title is “Mare of Westburg”.

Jonathan Larson has to think about his whole life before he writes a musical…
