So it’s a conscious choice to be bland. Well done, Jimmy.

Amelia Earhart?

I’m so glad we finally have a President that’s tackling the big issues that Americans care about—namely, solving every subject covered by Leonard Nimoy on IN SEARCH OF.

Willing to make a not at all serious, completely hypothetical wager on that “anti-ICE” bullet:

Some fascist hack started to write “antifa” on it and got told to make it more specific to ICE. Too lazy to just move the Sharpie hand to the next round.

I’ve been pretty mixed on ALIEN EARTH from the beginning, and more than anything it’s because I don’t really care what happens to anyone. I kept thinking about it like WESTWORLD iif the only remotely interesting characters were Man In Black and Bernard.

Not 100% on the precise timeline here, but did The Mouse put out their "thoughtful conversations" statement after they dropped the trailer for their $166M Mandolorian flick and saw they were still getting a bunch of Kimmel pushback?

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

That 16 year old has exquisite taste! Penn is akin to the soundtrack of a John Cusack flick we never got to see but desperately deserved.

Um, we ARE living here with each other. It sucks and it's not working because it's become incredibly one-sided in terms of who must acknowledge whose beliefs.

You absolute turnip.

my loneliness is killing me
and I must confess, I still believe
when I'm not with you I lose my mind
give me a sign
hit me baby one more time

thank you for reading this abridged version of FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk

For Spinal Tap II the RT score should be based on whether the reviewer makes a “ goes to eleven” reference or not.

The policing of people’s reactions to Today’s Event brings the “lawless vs flawless” issue to the forefront yet again.

First Time Watch of 25, #30

BULLET IN THE HEAD (1990)

I have zero idea why I didn't get to this one a few decades ago, but I'm grateful to have seen it now. Terrific stuff, just the slightest of notches below Woo's best.
