  1. Five THOUSAND National Guard troops coming to Texas?? Jesus Christ.
  2. I have, and I'm assuming (hoping) this is a compliment.
  3. I really liked it. It's a very faithful adaptation of the story, and like you, when I read the story I couldn't imagine it as a feature film. But it's surprisingly feel-good, considering the first act, and has tons of great cameos. I don't think I've seen Mia Sara in anything since Ferris Bueller and she was great here. If you're a Flanagan fan, and a Stephen King fan, I'd definitely see it in a theater.
  4. I hate these assholes as much as y'all, but I really wish we'd lay off calling Abbott "Hot Wheels". He sucks because he's a bootlicking Trump syncophant, not because he's disabled.
  5. Well...it didn't make me like billionaires. Interesting concept that just wasn't well-executed.
  6. Just saw and loved this. I read the short story back when the book came out and thought it was fine, but the movie does a great job of bringing it to life. It was a bit on the nose with the central theme (although it's fair to assume we're a nation of idiots who need to be beaten over the head with the point to get it) but still a lovely film. And if you're a Mike Flanagan fan, a ton of his mainstay actors make cameos.
  7. Off topic but there's a restaurant in Austin called Tommy Want Wingy.
  8. I liked it, but if I'm ranking the Philippou brothers' movies, Talk to Me is still #1. I thought A Dark Song was a better meditation on grief. The acting was great, especially Sally Hawkins (of course) and the kid who played Oliver. Some nitpicky thoughts/questions below.
  9. Going to see it tomorrow with my son! Can't wait!
  10. Aww, y'all get to share a handbasket.
  11. Let's stop using "gay" as an insult. Incel, sure. She is in the episode of Modern Family that introduced Fizbo, way back in 2010 or so. That show wasn't perfect, but that episode was when I knew it would be around for a long time.
  12. Listen, the NY Post does a lot of things wrong, but writing headlines is not one of them.
  13. Totally agree about the soundtrack. There were times when it reminded me of the Nic Cage movie Mandy, with booming orchestral rock. So fun.
  14. It looked awesome in IMAX but I'm sure it's still great in a regular theater.
