    My local theater posted showtimes on Facebook for “Pussy Boots” and boy that was a fun comments section for a couple hours before they realized their mistake.

    I'm sorry, I looked up the plot synopsis as I didn't think it'd be for me but...

    THAT'S HOW IT ENDS?

    Last year right before I saw Tar I had expected to like it and had hoped I wouldn't feel the runtime

    I point that out, and I posted the tweet of the song, because never once did I think that film or its premise would play out anywhere near as funny as it wound up being. Definitely not a comedy, but still had two or three of the funniest scenes of the year for me even despite that
    the whole Apartment For Sale scene, the ending reveal, and her ruining the concert she's been replaced in

    I think everyone I know who's seen Tar has said that the ending is hilarious, but it probably wasn't intended to be.

    I didn't think it was hilarious.

    None of the "comedic" moments were ha ha funny to me. They were like 'whoa, mouth agape' funny, if that makes sense.

    It was a drama with character.

    Anyways I liked it. 4 stars outta 5.

    It's doing a "look how fall she's fallen, playing VIDEO GAME music in the Philippines" and both of those things just kinda rub me the wrong way.

    I'm glad the Oscars are helping these more niche films get more play, so there's that.
    How about putting Decision To Leave in more than two theaters per state?

    I just started watching GoldenEye, as I'm going to play through the N64 game this week on Xbox.

    I haven't seen this in probably two decades.

    This movie is still a classic.

    And so incredibly sexual, even by the standard of other Bond films.

    some youtube video or other recently reminded me that Goldeneye was directed by Martin Campbell.

    Martin Campbell successfully rebooted James Bond into the modern day twice. TWO TIMES.

    Checking the Tar Wikipedia, Marin Alsop said "I was offended as a woman, I was offended as a conductor, I was offended as a lesbian," lol. I haven't seen the movie but I can see why she would dislike it. I don't think that makes it anti-woman though.

    Happiness is within reach!

    Speaking of Martin Campbell, I showed my kids The Mask of Zorro for the first time tonight.

    Huge success, much loved by both of them. Blew their minds when I told them that they'd been watching Elena all week as the villain in the National Treasure series that we've been burning through. My daughter could not wrap her head around both of them being Catherine Zeta-Jones. My son loved pretty much everything, but especially the sword fights. I think my daughter's favorite part was easily when the horse moved out of the way as Antonio Banderas attempted the large drop mount - pretty sure she laughed hard enough that root beer came out of her nose.

    Anyway, it was a joy to watch and even moreso to watch it with them.

    Henry Rollins was born for this deadpan comedy

    finally watched M3gan and it wasnt nearly as crazy as I was expecting, especially compared to Malignant. It was very well done though and well written, but I cant have been the only one expecting it to end with
    A smash cut of all the firby things waking up with M3gan infecting them? Like yeah shes infected the internet via the alexa thing, but I thought a Firby ending wouldve been funnier and was what I was expecting based on eveyrone saying it was crazy

    maybe im mixing it up in my head with the response to Orphan First kill? Which i havent seen

    Also my god, I finally forced myself to watch Halloween Ends. It makes Kills look like a coherent masterpiece. And I think Kills held the record for me in worst drop in quality between two films by the same creative team. Kills was the most I’ve been disappointed by a sequel in recent memory, and Ends makes it feel like a solid and coherent film by comparison. Mind boggling

    I’ve never seen a trilogy so thoroughly and completely shit the absolute bed after starting so strong. It’s the same actors, creators, and yet 2 and 3 areso utterly and completely terrible. It’s astonishing. my god it was so bad, it was beyond bad, it was stunningly moronic and insane, like half the movie is about this kid who is trying to become micheal Myers apprentice, with all this backstory and shit, it’s absolutely insane

    I feel like Kills drove the trilogy off the cliff, and Ends couldn’t even provide the explosion of the car hitting the ground. Instead it’s more like watching EMTs drag the corpses from the wreckage and inform the families

    Kills and End almost seem like homages to terrible horror movie sequels, they make exactly the same mistakes the worst sequels do.

    All they had to do was keep going from where the first movie ended, and instead they are these absolute messes of backstory and new characters and incoherent pacing and plot lines.

    Ends is the worst, it’s like trying to be a Scream movie almost, just utterly incomprehensible badness. Like it would be difficult to make worse films as sequels to what the first one did, which was pare things down and focus on intensity and a singular through line.

    I feel like anyone on earth could’ve made a better film out of this even if they had never seen Halloween.

    So fucking depressing. I would’ve loved if Kills had basically been a part 2 and just picked up right away with action and chases. It fucked that up by spending the first hour on new characters as if it was the first film in a different series. This third one, Ends, my god, it’s like someone tried to put a Scream script into a Halloween movie, and not a good one. It was tedious and dull even on its own merits, I barely could get through it just skim watching it after a while

    Fuck

    Hiking up the price of the vaccine to $110-$130 is legit dangerous, but yeah I shouldn’t be shocked at all a celebrity was more mad about it existing at all than about its cost. Sigh

    Also not sure I’d post an unironic “looking forward to the Flash” post from someone with a bio of “#ezramillerisinnocent”

    That's not Watterson. The account handle is 'calvinn_hobbes', which is misspelled to get around the most obvious copyright searches. Plus, Watterson is pretty famously reclusive. I doubt greatly he'd ever bother to make a Twitter.

    I didn't think it was him. I just found the association of C&H with what I thought were a lot of internet ballbags worrying.

    This is like, extremely well documented in interviews and the like.
    As Watterson explains in the Tenth Anniversary Book, "Hobbes is more about the subjective nature of reality than dolls coming to life": thus there is no concrete definition of Hobbes' reality.
    Watterson explained: "Calvin sees Hobbes one way, and everyone else sees Hobbes another way." Hobbes' reality is in the eye of the beholder.

    Any and all times when you are not THE Calvin, then no, Hobbes is not a real Tiger, but a real stuffed animal.

    Those times when you find that you are cartoon drawn by Bill Watterson named Calvin, you will find that you are also best friends with a real-ass tiger.
