If #WB/DC wants to earn my trust, I have a wish list:

1.) Leave the #Reevesverse ALONE
2.) Cast #HenryCavill as #Shazam
3.) Keep Gal as WW
4.) Make an animated adaptation of #SupermanLives with #NicCage

Please and thank you👍🏻
When I was able to focus on #TheSmashingMachine (I was battling a pretty intense migraine throughout), I found it pretty compelling. Safdie wisely avoids the standard biopic structure. This is an actor’s showcase through and through, and Johnson is remarkable.

I have yet to be disappointed. It’s been a damn good year.

Choosing #TheSmashingMachine over #OneBattleAfterAnother tonight because I know my local theater and the auditorium showing OBAA is in no way equipped to do that film justice.

Two of my favorite films (Election and Catch Me If You Can) were both discovered during channel surf sessions. I’m so grateful🙏🏻
streaming platforms have robbed us of the randomness that used to be both an essential property of tv watching and a quality that mitigated its addictiveness somewhat. we were wholly beholden to whatever happened to be on! if we didn’t like any of it we were obligated to go do something else!

You best start believing in films where the bad guys win in the end… you’re in one.

One enraging reaction to the LA fires I'm seeing is: All artists are rich/being an artist isn't a real job/they should have planned better/I'll reserve my sympathy for others. If you are doing this kind of sorting, no matter where on the political spectrum you are, please know that you are awful.

Try as I might, I just cannot bring myself to get excited for the new #Superman movie.

It genuinely feels, to me, like a bully (WB) flaunting my failure (MoS) to my face by bringing on the rival team’s QB (Gunn).

I frickin’ love the Kelvin films so much. They’re the reason I went back and watched the originals in the first place.
