Did not really like WAKE UP DEAD MAN!

Rian Johnson Takes His Murder-Mystery Series to Exhausting Ends in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
A more personal Knives Out mystery for Benoit Blanc, Wake Up Dead Man is stylishly realized but feels more fatiguing than it ought to be.

I interviewed the winner of WINGS OF VOICE on Nathan Fielder's THE REHEARSAL. We talked about what contestants were really told about WINGS, whether people knew what the deal was, and how winning the "competition" changed her life. www.decodingtv.com/p/an-intervi...

About a hundred pages into PROJECT HAIL MARY and I need someone to convince me this thing is actually worth finishing because right now all I’m getting is a pretty meager sci-fi adventure with a main character who can’t stop doing nerd-tastic quippy Joss Whedon remarks

I have seen the AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH trailer in 3D. I love Cameron’s devotion to this world so much, and really value him pulling together all the resources in the world to tell dorky sci-fi fables that look legitimately technologically advanced. Looks sick, can’t wait. I’m AVATAR-pilled for life.

Really liked the new Superman, which splits the difference between the old and the new by embracing the classically optimistic ideals of the character while sticking him in an exceedingly modern superhero blockbuster of inter-dimensional adventure and universe-building. More than anything: it’s fun!

Media literacy of right-wingers is so nonexistent I'm convinced their freaking out over the pro-immigrant themes of SUPERMAN, like, as a character and concept, is genuinely a new relevation for them. Also funny for a director to be like "my movie is about human decency" to be met with BOOOOO

The fiscal conservatives in the GOP just added $4 trillion to the deficit to give the wealthiest people on earth a tax cut. The pro-family party just took healthcare away from 17 million Americans to give ICE a bigger budget than Brazil’s military. The single most inhumane bill ever passed.

MAGA, for the people at the top, ultimately means creating a social structure wherein the working class helps enrich the wealthiest people alive, and doing so means propagating lies about how our problems are because of immigrants and “socialist” welfare programs. Absolutely sadistic ideology.
