I'm so behind on Blank Check that at this point I'm scared to go back.

I really liked that movie. Highly recommend.

Also it makes fun of dumb-ass Corporate White people which seemingly never gets old.

I feel that the marketing did this movie a disservice. I feel like I was being sold a fun comedy about a guy's life spiralling out of control because of a lie, but that was the B plot.

I mean you could also just pick the directors you like and start there. I'm a psycho who listens to podcasts when running so BC is great because it's so long.

It was awesome when I used to go to the gym. Maybe that's the trick to go back.

Spoiler!

When they are picking book of the year and the three white people decide to pick ####, while the two black people think its trach:

"We really need to be listening to diverse opinions right now (or something like that)

that killed me!

I think American Fiction will do well. With the Oscar nom, people will watch it after and it isn't an artsy movie so it should resonate well.

Having watched Wright in Bond and Westworld I always liked him, but he was the best thing in The French Dispatch and thats when it hit me how good he can be

You've done it!




Now to get into some pointless multi-page semantic arguments with one of the regulars.

Edit: NM, his multiple posts have already been addressed. His tickets better be amazing.

I think the marketing did a disservice because they did a horrible job selling it. I'd barely heard of it.

Finally watched Dr. Strangelove. Classic, of course. Just as timely as I'm sure it was when released. Like Oppenheimer if it was a Bugs Bunny cartoon or something.

The General going on about fluoride in the water felt like last years Thanksgiving dinner conversation.

That's all. Apart from: Welcome to the community.

As a Nintendo guy, I see 'chozo' and think Metroid, but that's probably not what he's going for.

I dont know what he's going for, I keep reading it as 'Chorizo' so I think he's delicious?

I only heard of it because it was one of the trailers that played before seeing The Iron Claw. It looks really good.

I've heard this rumor before that Universal is going to buy WB, the way it's being run right now, this might actually be a good idea.

I still haven't processed the WB-Paramount rumours

If I was doing a Metroid riff I'd probably do something with Ridley.

Where the name comes from, that's top secret.

Jesus Christ...I dont know if I'm the last person who should be saying this but come on people.

Disney...the 'Evil Empire' buys Lucasfilm, Marvel, most of Fox and now Universal is going to buy WB/Disco/HBO?

What are we going to be left with? Some sort of dual Oligarchy of Media content?

Remember when there were anti-trust laws? Does someone have to Frankenstein a Roosevelt?

Chorizo is Spanish.
