Reminds me very strongly of the first stage combat class I ever took, back in 1988. I was about that coordinated.

The same reason Grover Dill was a sniveling toady to Scut Farkas: if you bow and scrape hard enough, the bully might decide to pants someone else. It’s both pathetic, and pathetically common.

Thanks for the reminder, I’ve been meaning to watch The Substance.
I liked Weapons okay: I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with Benedict Wong, and the dark comedy of the ending was fun. But I thought the structural choices worked against it, and I have to admit I really didn’t find it scary.

Tough call, but I think I’d go with the airstrip fight from “Raiders”. Exciting, funny, and both fighters reveal a lot about their characters with almost no dialogue at all. Ford especially, as he rolls from clever to desperate to furious with perfectly corresponding changes in physicality.

These are the same fake-outrage f*ckwits who were claiming that “Captain Marvel” was playing to empty theaters, while it was grossing over $1B worldwide.

Loved She-Hulk. But yeah, the shrieking and snivelling from the “fans” over what was clever and very funny series, because it dared to both show women succeeding and to point out that yeah, sometimes guys can kinda be dicks.

I rather suspect that Alito has never personally experienced a joyful event in his entire shithearted life.

I’m right with you. My beloved spouse is away until Sunday, and I’m already trying to figure out how many different ways I can include bacon in a single meal…
