Jurassic World Rebirth:
It’s amazing what slightly competent direction, on-location shooting, good lighting, and a few real actors can do. No clones. No mosquito lore. No Trevorrow.
It has its problems, but compared to the dreadful Dominion… huge improvement and had quite a bit of fun with this 1

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The penultimate arc of “Andor” echoes colonial history—from the British Raj to modern Gaza—resulting in nail-biting, heart-wrenching genre television. Star Wars has never been more invigorating. It feels, in a way, reborn. joysauce.com/andor-uses-r...
‘Andor’ uses real colonial horrors to re-forge the Star Wars saga (Chapter 3: Ep. 7-9)
The latest chapter of 'Andor' is a powerful, pulse-pounding trio of episodes defined by small acts of resistance.

Dems are a party of losers that would rather pay lip service to the working class, marginalized people, and young people, instead of actually fighting for them. Much easier to yell “fight” than it is to do.

Mitch McConnell ran a playbook of total opposition after the 2008 election and it resulted in Republicans flipping 6 senate seats and 63 house seats two years after the biggest Dem victory since LBJ

For what it’s worth I’ve been out on Star Wars TV for a while (minus Andor) but The Skeleton Crew is absolutely delightful!

I had been hearing good things about WICKED for months, but it far exceeded my expectations! Ariana Grande and Erivo are incredible in their respective roles! Having just seen the Broadway play I can say this is a great adaptation of the show!

Ridley Scott is about to turn 87 and just directed the hell out of GLADIATOR II! That’s fucking sick, no ifs, and, or buts. A true titan!

Seeing a little movie tonight. Not saying what the title is but based on early buzz I’m hearing this movie may be quite… POPULAR.

Liked but did not love EMILIA PEREZ. Performances are strong with Saldana being the clear standout. Half the musical numbers worked exceptionally well, but the film struggles to overcome a cliched and hollow story.

It’s very important to remember I saw National Treasures when I was 6 and the sequel when I was 9. But yes, these are the films that made me study history in college.

For those who do not know me, I’m Ben Tito Friedman and I spend my days talking about movies on the internet (primarily YouTube) and also spend a lot of my free time heavily invested in a basketball team that has caused me so much pain over my 26 years on earth. But at least we got Bibby!

At this point I think it’s safe to say that Kang the Conquerer is a failure within the MCU, and giving the Majors of it all I am perplexed why #MCU isn’t changing course, especially since we know they don’t mind beginning from scratch…

@kphipps3000.bsky.social joins me to discuss Martin Scorsese’s THE IRISHMAN.
Glad I got the chance to rewatch. When this film released it was during my Sr. Year Finals week, thus I was forced to watch in chunks on my iPhone between studying and exams. Took me 5 days. Much preferred this experience!
