Elevated so much retroactively by Andor except for Cassian himself, who is kinda underserved here.

Listen I know this sounds nerdy and overdone but it is an absolute disgrace that Spider-Man doesn't show up in that New York sequence. You're telling me he's got something better to do?

Also I love JLD but she is woefully miscast here and in her previous Marvel appearances.

Not me, I'm in my prime.

I feel like most high school movies do absolutely nothing for me, but this one wasn't terrible

More vampire movies should have Irish folk song flashmobs

Imagine being named Rick Danko

DINOSAWRS

Hoskins totally locked in

Ryan Gosling is one of our greatest shriekers

Keith David?!

wife spy wife guy

What instrument does Roland Turner play?

No ticket!

HORSEPOWER!!!!!

idk where this idea to cast Mark Ruffalo as pompous idiots came from but I like it a lot and would like to see it continue please

Is Forest Whitaker doing a Boston accent in this, or does he always sound like that?

gnarly

Oops, all racial caricatures!

bastard people...

Feel like I can clock a Thomas Newman score from a mile away at this point.

a just-ok movie that nonetheless understands that hard-cutting to someone's funeral is a top-tier bit.

The renovated library looks really cool but I really hate that chair

Bold of Spielberg to begin this pretty bad movie by reminding me that I could be watching a different, much better Spielberg movie instead.

Real father of the year, this guy...

Final act of this one really got away from me, not sure exactly what happened

A whaaaaaat???

still giggling like a small child during the David Lynch scene

Andale, young feller!

A visionary masterwork

Here we go again...

Boyd Holbrook as Timothy Olyphant as Johnny Cash

Spin-off movie about JK Simmons being the ex-cop florist solving cold cases, please. I smell franchise potential, or at least a 3-season minimum Tuesday night slot on CBS.

Then rave she must!

Never fails to absolutely destroy me

Surely colanders weren't that expensive in 1959

Quite possibly the greatest achievement in narrative art this century

Bob Newhart has the coolest voice

A movie sorely lacking in 2 things:
1. Shadow using PG-13 cuss words
2. Olive Garden product placement

Omg the guys from The Game Awards are in this!
