It’s officially rotten. Even the professional shills don’t like it. In case you can’t read the screencap. Critics Consensus Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker suffers from a frustrating lack of imagination, but concludes this beloved saga with fan-focused devotion.  59% TOMATOMETER Total Count: 198 Coming soon Release date: Dec 19, 2019 AUDIENCE SCORE Ratings: Not yet available […]

Read More Oh My Glod…The Rise of Skywalker is in Jar Jar Territory

One of my biggest gripes with Special Editions is that they bulldozed the efforts of the original special effects team. Today everything is done by CGI but that wasn’t remotely possible in 1977. The work that John Dykstra and his team did for George Lucas was nothing short of heroic. But because George got a […]

Shocking as it is to me, I can find little fault with these new definitions of old words. “All societies have three human layers. We may call ours gentry, commoners, and clients. The gentry are urbanites, cultivated and ambitious; the commoners are suburbanites, educated and independent; the clients are Marx’s proletariat and lumpenproletariat, uneducated and/or dependent.” Lately, the Left has been […]

If it’s demonetized it has to be good. The sequel was broadcast live three days ago.

I always roll my eyes at people who present this argument as a way of justifying celebrating a Christian holy day, while having nothing to do with the observance of it. There is no point in debating, half educated pedants. It only annoys you and does nothing to elevate the pedant’s IQ. My standard reply […]

I’m cooling on the show, I’m sad to say. The first three episodes, were, if not great, better than TV average. Each of the first three added an element that benefited the narrative as a whole. Together they functioned very well as an identifiable first act, with its respective inciting incidents. We meet Mando and […]

It’s bizarre that I’m looking forward to seeing this, even knowing it’s going to abject piece of shit. There’s a whole, “we’re getting the band back together,” vibe among TLJ haters. I’ll give credit where it’s due, thanks to The Last Jedi, how we discuss movies has changed in America. It was the final nail […]

First up is Klaus. This was advertised as a Netflix Original. Which is a lie but I understand why Netflix does this. Calling it a Netflix Original sounds a lot better than, “Dumped on Netflix.” If you can’t get a distribution deal these days than your best hope is dumping your movie on Netflix. Netflix […]

At the moment, Trump’s reelection looks to be a near certainty. He is a sitting president, the economy is great and there is no credible opponent up for election. The frantic throwing of last-minute hats in the ring is proof enough of the Democrat’s terror of their prospects at the polls. And winning presidents tend […]

This first one stars Ryan Reynolds as an NPC trying out the PC life. So basically an RPG movie but with the usual roles reversed. Well we knew that variant was coming sooner or later. I hope it doesn’t suck. Please Movie gods, let them get it right this time. I think the kid is […]
