Everything @tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social does is great, and she’s finally unveiling her magnum opus!

I'm at the Elio
I'm at the Bad Guys 2
I'm at the combination Elio and Bad Guys 2

Yeah, that explains it! Thanks!

That seems likely! The main ones I remember from that are "Just a Girl" and "Celebrity Skin"

The drive-in played "Come Get Your Love" and then "I Want You Back," so I thought maybe it was a Guardians opening song thing, but then the next song was "Cherry Bomb" rather than "Creep" so I guess not.

Also, Netflix by mail was already kind of a dinosaur by then, right?

I can't say that I'm too excited for either Bad Guys 2 or Elio, but it's always a joy to be at the drive-in

A ★★★★½ review of Beauty and the Beast (1946) The Criterion Century #70: Beauty & the Beast (dir. Jean Cocteau, 1946) When I started this project last winter, a co-worker excitedly told me that I *needed* to include Cocteau's Beauty & the Beast. ...

Turns out Warner Bros. put tape over the hole of their VHS copy of Casablanca to tape Air Bud off HBO so you won't be able to see Casablanca anymore

Fantastic Four #98, in which:

- Kree try to stop the Apollo 11 Moon Landing
- The Fantastic Four stop them
- Ben spends the whole issue complaining that he didn’t get to watch it on TV.

Only four issues to go, but Lee & Kirby are still knocking it out of the park!

I get it, but I gotta tell you that the first sentence has big "Harriet longing for the chocolate oranges from home" energy

There it is!

Episode III should have ripped off . . . I don't know, The Robe? What happens in The Robe?

It's so much fun that Cushing and Lee played Star Wars villains 25 years apart

The gladiator stuff is genuinely so terrific, although it is pretty funny that Phantom Menace did Ben-Hur and this one does Spartacus.

I love that Count Dooku is just Saruman exactly, like Lucas heard that Peter Jackson had Christopher Lee as Saruman and decided he wanted that too.

I’ve always called it my least-favorite Star Wars movie, but actually it’s pretty fun?

Miles and I just finished Attack of the Clones.

He loved it so much, and I regret to report that it's considerably better than I remembered.

This Kickstarter was the push I needed to finally subscribe after meaning to for a decade! Very excited for the year ahead!

Good news for fans of light-hearted mystery shows: the absurdly charming SHAKESPEARE & HATHAWAY is now on HBO Max as part of their BritBox tie-in!

I NEVER KNEW YOU WERE THAT GUY IN THE DISCORD!!!!

Based on the four episodes of Andor that I saw, I don't think Miles would pay attention for a second.

All hopped up on Episode II, Miles wants to watch the Obi-Wan TV show after we finish the prequels.

I never watched it, due to lack of interest. Is it appropriate for a 7-year-old who already loves Star Wars?

A ★★½ review of So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993) The Criterion Century #69: So I Married an Axe Murderer (dir. Thomas Schlamme, 1993) This was a flop when it came out, but over the years it's been rehabilitated into something of a cult classic. Some...

My kids decided to watch My Neighbor Totoro this morning, and it’s making the entire house feel cozier and more pleasant.

Did you miss the part where she was playing Luthor the whole time? I thought the new movie treated her really well on that front (less so her attachment to Jimmy)

Dark Shadows shout out in Fantastic Four #94 (January 1970)

I was truly floored by how bad Nine is. I’m no big Rob Marshall fan, but his other movies are competent!

A ★★½ review of Melvin Goes to Dinner (2003) The Criterion Century #68: Melvin Goes to Dinner (dir. Bob Odenkirk, 2003) It should be clear by now that I'm a big fan of movies where people sit around and talk memorably at one another. Earlier in ...
