When in doubt, default to movie talk. Good with numbers, but would rather write. Pittsburgh Pirates Fan.

I just went to erase a message (I'm very good at writing things out and not sending them) only to think I'd accidentally sent it instead and must admit the jolt of energy that ran down my spine was quite a thrill.

So, in the movie Playdate, it feels like Alan Ritchson's Reacher character was bit by a radioactive James Corden.

You know, this upsets me on levels I didn't even think humanly possible. The idea of presenting this as anything other than mentally deranged is insane. This world can feel soulless, but that doesn't mean we have to fully lean into it.
For real, check this out. Evil.

Hostile Takeover is an action comedy carried well by Michael Jai White.

Friend Request is a good bad movie. Such great nonsense.

Don't Log Off is a covid thriller with people making the same bad decision.

Eye for an Eye has a creepy Sandman design on top of an okay story.

I give a lot of 2 1/2s

There is a Planet of the Apes that ends with the entire planet being DESTROYED and the next one starts with "And these apes took off in a spaceship before it happened."

You can 100% have him wake-up haunted he had a chance to choose absolution but instead ran. It's could be the film's entire theme
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Well, never a flop; it was the number one movie at the box office when it came out, but anyway…

I understand that bad movies are "bad" and everything, but am I really supposed to hate a movie like 2016's FRIEND REQUEST when it has a scene where a hacker tries to investigate a possessed Facebook page and finds out the source code is just demonic scribbles?

My internal battery has died on my laptop, and the charging cord comes loose easily, so I'm often having to restart my laptop when my cat comes to see what I'm doing, which has made downloading updates rather annoying.

Two generations of employees just immediately quitting.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

The dude who complained about movies paying extras and said they should replace them all with AI?
 Canadian multimillionaire and Shark Tank guy Kevin O'Leary went on TV to say he's upset Zohran won't talk to him: "I and others who invest in real estate have tried to get a meeting to figure out what's rhetoric and what's policy. So far for me it's been crickets."

Whatever sentence of director's jail you want to enforce for "Burying the Ex," I don't see how you do Gremlins 3 without Joe Dante (if he's willing).

One thing I realize is that the amount of people using credit cards to buy groceries is going to sky rocket in the next few weeks. This is going to put people even further into debt that clings and compounds.

Backwards cap "undercover" Jigsaw is a nonsense hall of fame character presentation that never fails to make me laugh. If Jigsaw is ever in a Mortal Kombat game, he needs one design of him in robes (Like Saw 2) and another in that daggone backwards cap look.
‘Saw 3D’ (aka Saw: The Final Chapter’) starring Tobin Bell, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flannery, Chester Bennington, and Cary Elwes trapped moviegoers in the third dimension of terror fifteen years ago this week 🚨🩸🥼 #OTD

You can take the movie presentation out of found footage style but you can't take the found footage style out of the movie. That was a found footage smash cut ending for sure. #FrightClub
