Perpetually tired gamer and movie buff. I created It Was A Sh*t Show and once saw Danny Boyle at the airport.

Watched Poltergeist and Invasion from Mars in quick succession, and it felt like going from a Rolex to a Happy Meal toy.

It’s amazing to me the lengths Rockstar will go to focus on the wrong things.

As a kid (and thanks to reruns), I thought this and The Exorcist were the same movie. It didn’t help that Blair is in both.

Better yet, steal a bunch of money now and bring it to the past to capitalize on reverse inflation.

DRUNK HISTORY CAME BACK?!! WTF I had no idea! Not only is the show unique, informative, and funny, but Derek Waters is one of the most underrated hosts ever. This might be the best thing that’s happened in this truly awful year.

Media literacy is cratering, especially when comes to CGI. As Movie Rabbit Hole said the “CGI vs practical debate is something the audience has invented out of sheer ignorance about how movies are made.” What is the single biggest/best way to change this mindset?

Kinda. Brewvies prioritizes being a bar first. It only has the two screens, shows usually have some drunken shenanigans, and their picture and sound quality leave lots to be desired.

This issue has had a weird reverse effect. We were running late for Spider-Man but knew we’d be ok because of the 20+ minutes of trailers/commercials. But for some reason that showing only had about 10 minutes.

100% People keep talking about going back to theaters, but they don’t talk about how those people in those theaters are terrible . I’d kill for a proper Alamo Drafthouse in SLC.

I don’t give a shit about GTA IV. It’ll, once again, be a Rockstar game heralded as the greatest game ever made but, yet again, be a jack of all trades, master of none. It’ll make billions of dollars and most players will maybe complete 30% of the story before bouncing off. Is… is GTA for casuals?

5 Simpsons lines I’ve said/uttered the most: 5. This is the largest automobile I could afford. 4. Wow, infotainment. 3. What’s wrong with me? - I think you’re crazy. 2. It’s just a little airborne, it’s still good, it’s still good. 1. I see lots of things… - Did you see that? - Yes, I did.

I for one love their obvious daily quota to produce bare minimum content, especially when they spit out riveting lists, like “Ahsoka Seasons Ranked.”

Widow’s Bay started out so great. Funny and mysterious with great performances. Then those last three episodes really petered out. With the truly terrible slasher episode seemingly shoved in via reshoots as the following episodes never once mention it.

While it’s not even in the same league as the original, the simple idea of basically making a carbon copy of the first is truly hysterical and should be lauded for its meta take on sequels as a cash grab.

It is a bit bizarre (and hypocritical) considering Gluck’s last film, Anyone But You, had nudity and was billed as a surprising success at the box office, in an age of romantic comedies failing in theaters.

Brutal bait and switch! Well done. This has been said, but the terrible consequence of AI is we thought we’d be thinking “wow that AI looks real.” Instead everyone is questioning if real images are AI.

Oh no sorry! That was all in jest, referencing the meme. It was meant to be flippant. Didn’t mean to offend. Love your work (and your random appearances on Patrick’s channel).

Outside a few stand out images, Christopher Nolan’s partnership with cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema has been rather bland (from staging to clarity). The scenes and moments are great but individual shots are, at best, adequate. But I don’t think we’re ready to have that conversation just yet.

In Nolan’s Odyssey, there is a death of a character (who had their own dedicated montage) that absolutely ruined me. But because the movie doesn’t allow moments to breathe, the death is immediately tossed off in literal seconds for an unrelated conversation. It’s an unforgivable mistake by Nolan.

Excel works amazingly at like 95% of what you need it for. But that other 5%, can be so infuriatingly wrong and nonsensical, you’ll want to smash it with a hammer and drop kick it into the ocean.

The MCU is a giant tv series. They do the exact same thing in Doctor Who, Arrowverse, and Game of Thrones. Dozens of characters with all their own plot lines. Hell even daytime soaps are more complicated. Not to mention this is how comic books work. But for some reason the MCU gets all the hate…

Umm that trailer is full of great shots. “Terrible” is a bit much.
