Well I didn't know that Emilia Clarke was in it so I'm upgrading from "not interested" to "would rent on itunes."

Being a big Community fan, I'm enjoying Dong Lover's turn from manchild to genius. I want to see all of it. He'll probably do the English Patient at some point, but I'm glad he's still interested in fun stuff like this, and happy that he gets to do it.

I was pissed Lord and Miller got the boot.

I watched both Blade Runners and would like to reiterate what a snoozefest the first one was.

The second one wasn't much better.

It pains me to say it because Villenueve is one of my favorites, but i must take a stern but fair approach to this.

Movies that put me to sleep every time: Thin Red Line, Blade Runner, last 30 minutes of Monty Python’s Holy Grail

[The Third Man]

That'll only leave an hour for posing with cold hard steel expressions at the bad guys they're about to fight (seriously, did you see the SB trailer?). There's probably a way to make Infinity War a good show, but damn, it would need to be counted in seasons, not hours.

Boy oh boy, is my answer to the right way to deal with MCU nonsense not "even more bloat."

I don't know how they'll tell this story well without 40 minutes of scrolling prologue or the kind of "Sidewinder! my old sophomore chemistry classmate who was my best friend until you killed my mother and then we briefly joined forces anyway to battle AxeSword but now we hate each other again" lines that make me dislike the source material's genre: I guess there are different kinds of bloat.

The best way to fix the MCU is to put it to bed for 10-15 years.

I heard Thor Ragnarok is great, and I'll see it at some point because I like Taika Waititi a lot. But I'm almost certain I'd like that movie better if he told the same story with characters built from scratch. I thought the indulgences allowed were fun for a while, but I'm pretty bored with the genre.

started watching the 4 hour "Woodstock" documentary (TCM had it on). Surprised I hadn't seen it before.

Just to complete my thought, because I don't mean to isht on Marvel just to isht on Marvel: Those Raimi Spiderman movies kind of blew my mind. They were super fun and super dorky, and just a great way to tell an action story. But now that sort of novelty is long gone, and there's an awful lot of the bad 80's/90's action movie storytelling that the comic book movies were such an interesting answer to in the first place. Also I haven't strung together six moments of my life (3, if you include Disney's Frozen; 2, if you also add Star Wars) without Marvel's presence in 10 years.
