  • I did a John Wick run this week. You nailed the series as a whole. I'll still give Ballerina a chance. Now onto Die Hard!

  • No Time to Die: The Making of the Film by Mark Salisbury. A lot of interesting details that I didn't know. The one thing that I will spoil is that Blofeld's death was generally written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. We sometimes joke about Cubby, Harry, M…

  • Looks actually somewhat promising. I’m standing by that Scarjo is overexposed. Also, does it seem like her voice seems a bit huskier than usual? Also, I’m really happy that they are looking at the original JP novel for influence. There’s a lot of go…
  • As for F4, like a lot of MCU stuff these days, I could go either way. I feel like they REALLY nuked the fridge with the whole multi-verse thing. Also, one thing that really hurt the first 2005 F4 was honestly The Incredibles. They took A LOT of the …

  • I heard recently that Quentin Tarantino might write novelizations of his Reservoir Dogs and True Romance scripts. I would like to see some of the old Bond stories get a similar treatment. As I've said before, Everything or Nothing, Bloodstone and Sk…

  • I gave into the hype and watched Wicked (2024). I’m not going to lie, as someone who isn’t the biggest musical fan, I enjoyed it. Plus, our own Michelle Yeoh is one of her generation’s most talented actresses. Ariana Grande kind of reminded me of Je…
