Correction: TWO, simultaneous cartoons (wtf?).


I'm just glad it's not another Spiderman reboot and talented people are behind it. Also glad it's not Rogen, Franco and co. I'm a little tired of them.

So apparently Richard Linklater followed me around my entire life and made a movie out of it. Well done. The scene at the end with the mushrooms gave me chills. The good kind.

I'd say the same about Kate McKinnon.

Alas, we're on different teams.

Yes.

Still, I like McKinnon and Jones from SNL, even if it'll be dominated by Wiig and McCarthy. Plus, it guaranteed more of Wiig on SNL...they gave her the huge OTT emotional sendoff, which was embarrassing on its own, but she just keeps coming back. God knows why Lorne loves her as much as he does.

Hopefully it's just a phase. It does seem like a reasonable, or at least defensible, response to the heaps and heaps of content available to people. There are excellent television shows, let alone movies, freely available to me that I've never heard of.

Fortunately for us there is no shortage of places to turn for some incredibly creative stories told well.

Keep in mind, guys, you're not allowed to have preconceived notions about what a movie will/should be or expect or want anything out of it based on the source material. You can't judge an all-lady cast on the merits of the all-guy cast 20- or 30-some years ago. It must, like Inherent Vice, stand on its own merits and have nothing to do with how much you loved the original.
