I wrote about Nuremberg, a film that would have been an awards powerhouse in the 1990s. Read it here!
Nuremberg is an engaging, well-acted drama (even Rami Malek is good!) but it's a missed opportunity, writes @smatthew.bsky.social

Nuremberg Review: Well-Acted Drama Misses Opportunity to Be More
Nuremberg is an engaging, well-acted drama starring Rami Malek and Russell Crowe, but it's a missed opportunity to be more.

Heres my hot take about #TheWitcher: Season 1 is great and the narrative structure is only complicated if you're not paying attention.
Ie: please actually watch the things you're watching.

I just saw an article calling Ciri's relationship in The Witcher season "controversial" because it's with another woman and team? It's 2025. 2SLGBTQIA+ exist.
I'm so tired.

Watching the first episode of the new season The Witcher and you know what? It's the same show it was before. If you liked it then, you'll most likely continue to do so.
Liam Hemsworth is is totally fine.

I stand by my earliest statement that the Dodgers would be deserving if they won, and they are. What a heartbreaker for us Jays fans, though.
Next year!

I've just learned that Tchéky Karyo passed away today. RIP to one of my personal favourite "oh hey it's that guy!" Actors, who elevated everything he was in.

I keep seeing people in Star Trek groups saying "The Orville is more trek than current trek" and like… no, it's just more like TNG than current trek. It's a TNG homage and you love TNG.
And to be clear, that's fine. I love The Orville, too. But it's not "more trek than trek".

Waking up to a lot of Dodgers fans complaining about Shohei Ohtani being intentionally walked four times as if he didn't also get four hits including two home runs last night.
They're not gonna change intentional walks, there'd be no way to actually enforce it.
