Never been married, never had kids, no obvious reason the blatant divorced-dad fantasy of Is This Thing On? should have appealed to me. But it makes everything so easy! Don't we want easy, at least some of the time, and isn't the at-least just a disclaimer really?

The likelihood that Harry Potter will mean about as much to future generations as, say, Winker Watson does to today's kids? Yeah, that's less about whatever definition of "liberalism" you can reconcile with being a transphobic freak, more just the unstoppable march of time.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Younger generations “have fallen out of love with Harry Potter because they have fallen out of love with the worldview the series represents,” writes Louise Perry. “Which is to say that young people have fallen out of love with liberalism.”

I'd like to thank the Academy for ensuring I never have to sit through Wicked 2

La La Land. Not a bad picture, but... kinda redundant after seeing this? youtu.be/je0aAf2f8XQ?...

Think I've seen Mars Attacks! five times and I just can't bridge the gap between the idea (😁) and how it actually turned out (😐)? Still remember seeing it on 1st release and feeling my enthusiasm drain away over a 30-40 minute opening stretch where LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS.
What is the movie you have seen the most times that you would say you do NOT like?

I happen to be partial to a well-placed needle drop, but for years I've longed for less obvious ones. An album track, a B-side, an interesting cover? No, it's always Sympathy for the Devil/Space Oddity/Under Pressure/that Tears For Fears one urr-GENNN.
Something must be done about the plague of needle drops. Marty Supreme and OBAA both nearly ruined by them, particularly in their endings

HGL again. My new year's resolution is to finish that fucking box set.

Did *everyone* get Dafoe this year?

I can work with this.

Nothing confirmed, but I suspect this new Animal Farm movie may take certain liberties with the source material

Don't wanna harp on this more than it's already been pretty comprehensively harped on, but in another timeline QT is on the promo circuit for The Movie Critic right about now and his in/famous verbosity is skewing more positive, maybe?
If Tarantino feels so starved for attention lately he could always pull his finger out and make Movie #10? It's feeling a bit George RR Martin at this point (y'know, if Martin spent all his time ranting on podcasts about what an overrated fucking hack Diana Wynne Jones was).

This is a Bill Simmons game, but you’re stranded on a desert island. You can only have one actor’s filmography. You get it all, including cameos. But just the one performer.

I’m taking Cate Blanchett: Talented Mr. Ripley, LOTR, Life Aquatic, Black Bag, Tár, Ponyo, Hot Fuzz, Eyes Wide Shut, Thor

Donate to political organizations dedicated to keeping UBI a thing, bc if we've learned anything in recent years it's that good things, even popular ones, are never entirely safe.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?
