Very big win. Showed really good fight. These guys need to be visualizing made FTs in their waking moments and their sleeping ones.

Sucks. I liked his work with Charlie Kaufman in Synecdoche and Anomalisa, and he made an impact with every little role he had.

Finally watched this. I was huge on Wes Anderson since I saw Bottle Rocket in a theater when it came out. Tenenbaums is a top 20, maaaybe top 10 for me all-time. But I’ve had Wes fatigue for a long while now. For whatever reason, this one broke that streak. Really came together for me. B+

I watched Bookie about a year or two ago for the first time and loved it. Ben Gazzara, man. A couple great bit roles of his in Buffalo 66, and Happiness. Still haven’t seen Opening Night, but Woman Under the Influence is an all-timer for me, and Shadows, Faces, Gloria, and recently saw Minnie...

I dig it. It takes a lot of flak but I love playing bar shuffleboard, and it has a very similar concept and strategies.

Hailee Steinfeld in that one is one of the better child performances of recent memory. Though she was a little older. But I’m telling you, this little Hamnet kid just blew me away.

I didn’t like that at all either. But I’m not a comic books popcorn movie guy in the least, so I wasn’t the audience for that one. I’ve seen maybe 3-4 of any of the marvel or DC movies in the past couple decades, never seen a Mission Impossible or John Wick or any of those. Just not my thing...

When I posted about it months ago I mentioned Dusk and also Crossroads. I’m biased against over the top gory vampire crap; but that wasn’t its only problem, just its most blatant one. It was a jumbled mess, had no focus. Coogler got greedy with how many movies to cram into one and didn’t...

It’s a great song and an appropriate reading of it doesn’t let the boys off the hook in the least. I’ve always thought she used it to acknowledge their many shortcomings and failures, while also appreciating their contributions and positive impact. Especially from the perspective of a woman...

Yet through all that, where nobody has much clue what the entire roster will look like next season — many fans demand “cOnsIsTeNCY!!” from game to game and season to season. They will not tolerate less! Because standards!

The way people are usually Beatles or Elvis, they’re also Kane or Casablanca. I’m a Casablanca guy, and was left pretty flat by Kane. Technically innovative, groundbreaking, etc… so I could appreciate some of it, but it felt soulless to me. Ambersons left me the same. So I never even got to...

Not me. I gave it a C+. I was with the first half, that part was an A. Despite the gimmicky twins thing. The vampire crap bored the hell out of me and made me mad they pissed away a great start. Tried to cram way way too much into one movie. There were 3-4 movies smashed together in there...

Creepy, I’m not into it. A toothpaste/tube mess where people only ask if they can and don’t ask if they should. Bad news IMO. But it did make me wonder if the reason Ambersons had left me kinda flat when I saw it years ago was all this controversial editing of the original cut. If I was aware...

Finally watched Marty Supreme. It was fine. I think I’m getting Safdie-fatigue. I didn’t even feel stressed out by it, which means I wasn’t very engaged. Pretty wacky and funny to see Abel Ferrara (!) and Penn Gillette in a crazy scene together. I thought the ‘80s music was interesting and...
