A friend of mine while watching MAGNOLIA, snuck in a beer in a longneck bottle. He set it on the floor when finished, later he accidentally kicked it over and during a particularly emotional part in the film you could hear it loudly roll down the sloped concrete occasionally hitting a seat mount, spin, and continue…

Water Goddess birthing? Meh.

With the deliberate pauses in the narration I am getting a Paddington 2 vibe. There just needs a plate of marmalade sandwiches.

I’m showing my age. For years his Grammy wins were mocked as the ne plus ultra of soulless pap voted best by a bunch of old guys who found him a perfectly cromulent choice.

I can personally attest that the Grammy’s are top drawer, way above the banalities it has for years been accused. They’re good people always selecting the top-tier music of every year in every category, representing the values and peerless tastes of America.

Earthlings of AV Club. The Monolith was always meant to be a marker, a sentinel if you will, marking your progress from the Dawn of Man through to the future. We even developed a far more streamlined version in gleaming unobtanium to reflect back exactly who and where you are in the Cosmos.

The copter/car chase was just a bridge too far I cannot deny — a near miss with a truck, dodging cars along the way all of it terrible That Sutherland and Kidman were included in a police copter chase didn’t help either. Honestly if the show ended with a domestic confrontation with Jonathan threatening harm to his…

YOU CAN’T OUTRUN COVID !

The Lynch That Stole Christmas

It showed the scorched wood underneath the new tiles from the building being burnt down.

I look forward to watching the movie when I get old enough.........

I am not sure that color exists anywhere in the natural world.  

Look, Jimmy Stewart talked to an imaginary rabbit and drove a woman off a clock tower............. HOW is that any different than Pete Davidson?

Honey, what would you like to watch tonight on Netflix? A Trash Truck Christmas? Or Nocturnal Animals?

“If this family can’t give me the love and security that I feel I deserve, then I feel I have no option but to break away officially, and to find it myself,” Di tells the King.

At the very least, I hope this episode sent people to dig up Billy Joel’s music video of UPTOWN GIRL. It’s the most fun, 80s thing you will ever see with Joel strutting and dancing like the lead in a regional theater production of GREASE and Christie Brinkley looking impossibly beautiful and sassy, a projection I…

At first Hugh Grant’s sororicide sandwich story bugged me as really poor writing. But the Skype call from his mother to Grace was a great payoff especially outlining a disturbing sociopathy. Extrapolating a bit, the mother didn’t know her son was wired with such little regard for life, empathy and compassion or she…

It’s a compliment. The original was one of my Dad’s favorites. When I walked out of the Coen version, (going in wondering how it could possibly hold up), I was feeling a sense of melancholy that my Dad wasn’t around to watch it. He would have loved it and thought it equally fine. It was a remarkable remake. 

Another requisite dive into Google reveals that a big reason Thatcher did not want sanctions placed on South Africa is because her son (who we already know she held in too high, undeserved, esteem) had a great deal of business there and didn’t want him to fail, hence the 48:1 members of the 49 members in favor of…

Busted!
