'Reckoning' fails to exact a toll

Though reasonably entertaining as a journalism potboiler, THE SOCIAL RECKONING suffers from a surplus of Sorkin. Review in @cambridgeday.com!

"The Social Reckoning" has its moments but lacks the punch of "The Social Network."

When I graduated from college my best friend gave me a full case of Surge he found on eBay (which had to have been a decade old at the time). We holed up for a weekend drinking them and watching horror movies, and we both got sick. This is the ideal way to enjoy Surge.

If someone could photoshop elephant trunks onto Ryan and Harrison I’d be much obliged.

I don’t know who this is for, but it’s the first thing that popped into my mind.

Oh, same! But the masses of young people flocking to see THE DRAMA and YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in theaters feel like something new, and I’m curious to see where this goes.

If one were to write a scathing parody of Aaron Sorkin’s whole thing, I’m not sure they could top the scene where Jeremy Allen White mansplains mansplaining to Mikey Madison.

I’m not going to say ten-year-old Oscar *knew* at that moment he’d grow up to be a film critic, but it very much marked the first time it made the list.

Jay Sherman saying “I have the best job in the world! I get to watch movies and eat popcorn all day!” may or may not have altered the entire trajectory of my life.

It would have given him some plausible deniability if he did! By giving it to his true-blue leading man it’s clear that he means it 🤢

I feel like we’ve hit a weird point where the coveted 18-34 demographic is actively clamoring for small, interesting, grown-up movies, but the people in charge of the studios are only interested in making movies for shareholders.

With Aaron Sorkin directing the SOCIAL NETWORK sequel and David Fincher directing the ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD sequel, it seems only fair to let Quentin Tarantino direct a BEING THE RICARDOS sequel.

The rhetorical I always use is “What if you’re stuck behind a member of the B-52s,” because it can either mean “big hair” or “loud talker.”

I want to wake up on a Saturday with a popcorn craving and check to see what’s playing! If I run into a friend on the way to the theater I want to be able to invite them to come along! Not everything needs to be preplanned!

This is 1000% how I feel about assigned seating in movie theaters.

Though upon reflection, since he had long hair and no makeup or glove, he may have been cosplaying as Wes Craven as Fred the janitor.

The other day walking out of PRIMETIME we passed a guy on the street casually dressed as Freddy Krueger, and I really hoped he’d yell “HOW’D YOU LIKE PRIMETIME, BITCH!”

Gotta transfer them off my old iTunes! I’m particularly proud of the titles: “I Spit on Your Groove,” “The Hills Have Swag,” “Last House on the Dancefloor,” etc.

One of the great comforts in this life is the seemingly inexhaustible supply of Halloween-themed novelty singles from the 1950s and ‘60s.

Every year I’ll find a new 80-minute, 30-track CD comp titled something like “Sock Hop in the Graveyard,” at least 50% of which will be stuff I’ve never heard before. There’s always another song about skeletons and gorillas having a party, and I think that’s beautiful.

I’ve compiled a bunch over the years— one of these days I gotta dig out the playlists and upload them for posterity!

I mean, yes, but I’d strongly push them toward getting all four of the Manzarek albums.

I’ve said this before, but Jessica Harper essentially gives an “only human actor in a Muppet movie” performance in SUSPIRIA as it is.

IIRC that was supposed to be the “rare” one, though I feel like I saw it just as frequently as the others.

I got tickets for Saturday the day they went on sale!
