It’s, uhh… it’s Topo Gigio!

Punk toddler mugger made me smile.
]]>
For a Superman movie? Pretty good!

I get it, redheaded girls are important.
]]>
Movie with a vibe I’d like to cultivate.
]]>
Amy putting her own credit over the toilet bowl is a good bit.
]]>
Definitely the worst Blank Check movie that includes a performance of Big Spender.
Moon Unit Zappa does seem cool as shit, no way she’d be into Rusty.

Hits too close to home (Craig Waterman ➡️ Greg Walkerman).
]]>
Too portentous to be super fun and I am not into dark deepsea adventures (thalassophobia) and I’m still mad about what they did to Becky Fergs last time, but I liked the plane stuff at the end! Almost immediately after I clocked that CIA Director to President seemed like an unlikely transition for Angela Bassett, they name-check George HW Bush. So, I guess you win this one, Tom.
]]>
Laughed at the vast majority of Ma Kelly jokes.
]]>
“I’m a little slow today, I just switched to Sanka. So, have a heart.”
I liked when Mary-Kate and Ashley’s nanny delivered Harvey Milk a pizza.
]]>
Fun enough but these things are getting too long!
]]>
I love the wolf blitzer cold open
]]>
Ilsa is my bestie. We ride together we die together.
]]>
I really wanted this to be weirder than it is, or more Bowie aesthetics? I got into much more by the end than the start.
]]>
Oliver is a fucking weirdo.
]]>
Is this my favorite of them, or do I just enjoy Final Destination more in a theater?
]]>
For the first 10 minutes, I thought I might be watching one of my new favorite movies. Energy goes down a bit as the main action starts up though.
]]>
incredibly important PSH movie. Pretty standard M:I movie.
Also a top 2 death of the series.
]]>
Emma Thompson french scenes were easily the best parts
]]>
This review may contain spoilers.
So bizarre that this ends with Dreams by the Cranberries.
Also the Estevez death goes hard, top 2 of the series.
]]>
One of those movies where at different points I say to myself “this only works so well because this actor is so locked in” about pretty much every character.
]]>
Cried.
]]>
Younger Quint could get it.
]]>
hey, I’m a Walker too!
]]>
I think Sebastian Stan might be broken for me as an actor now. All I can see is Trump. 😣
]]>
“You've never seen Howard's End. I want to show it to you.”
Hehehe
]]>
“Your social anxiety is killing my vibe.”
“Joke’s on you, my anxiety is *generalized*.”
]]>
Modern apes movies are a bummer!
]]>
watched on vhs
]]>
I inexplicably had a poster for this on my wall growing up. This was my first time seeing it. Not so keen on any of it, but particularly weird to try to make TNG into Pitch Black/Riddick with the dune buggy shootout.
]]>
Why are these all basically the same movie? So hot and cold on these from scene to scene and joke to joke.
]]>
Kinda rude to JM Barrie tbh

A bit blurry at the end!
]]>
Wright and Keira K really went SICKO MODE on this one!!
]]>
Coogler and Mikey B really went SICKO MODE on this one!!
]]>
Some weirdness I sort of enjoyed, but this one was definitely Not Made For Me.
]]>
Look Meghann Fahy’s been my QUEEN since way back (White Lotus season 2) but some of this just seemed a bit implausible.
]]>
1. Herb? Wild choice for a stage name.
2. Island life seems damp.
3. As someone who spent like 16 hours driving on it this past week, the i5 joke made me laugh.
4. Also, “To paraphrase The Beatles: ‘There goes the Sun.’”

]]>The franchise, ranked.
- Scream 2
Cameo casting is best to make it really feel like the late 90s. Somehow the metatalk about horror sequels feels less trite at this point than the metatalk about horror movies generally in the original (which is just a casualty of it’s own success that it’s become general knowledge, I suppose).
- Scream
Matthew Lillard; no notes.
- Scream 4
Just barely edges out 3 due to 4 feeling more like it’s “era” in the way the original and 2 do. Plus I enjoy the bajillion cameos at the start. Emma Roberts gives great big desperate psycho energy just like her dad in Star 80.
- Scream 3
The first one I saw (on TV), I love the parts on the movie’s Stumacher house set.
- Scream
Not bad, just doesn’t feel as timecapsuley as the rest yet (outside of metacommentary on legacyquels and the anti-Last-Jedi to Jan6 Qanoner radicalization pipeline). Maybe in time I’ll appreciate it more but for now the new cast feels way more anonymous than any previous entry.
- Scream VI
Ya know, maybe you’ll like them. Maybe not. But at least you’ll have seen them.
