Any episode with angsty Jack has something going for it.

The more I learn about Brie Larson, the better I like her.

That could easily be remedied if Pete's screen-right exit were overdubbed with the sound of a speeding car, followed by a loud "Splat!"
Followed by a "whaa whaaaaaa" from a trombone.

I want to see Old Man Steve mentoring a team of young Avengers. I can see him commanding them from the new Avengers compound, radioing them to stop fucking around. I love the idea of him as grizzled old man and I think Evans would relish playing the part.

I totally missed that the "on your left" line was a callback to the jogging scene with Cap and Sam in "Winter Soldier." I'm really going to have to watch this film again to see how many other callbacks I missed.

Vin Diesel does a good job saying "I am Groot!"
That's all I've got, folks.

One last thing about Gelina ... I always felt so sorry for her. All she did was fall in love with Crichton and get killed for her trouble — which happened a lot to people who fell into John's orbit, now that I think about it.

Watching "Nerve" as we speak. Crichton: Aeryn or Gelina? Gelina or Aeryn? Aeryn? Excellent choice, Sir.
I always liked the Gelina vs. Aeryn dynamic for John. Gelina, IMO, represented a more normal type of life that he would have been more than happy with on Earth, which is why he was so attracted to her when they first met. Aeryn, meanwhile, was representative of his new reality in the Uncharted Territories. By the time of "Nerve," Chrichton had bid hail and farewell to his old life —and, consequently, Gelina.
Or maybe I'm just overthinking the whole thing.

The Priors are the No Fun Bunch.
The Priors were probably one of those ideas that was better in theory than in execution. A foe that is implacable and relentless could be fantastic, such as the Borg on Star Trek, but that didn't translate to the Priors. Maybe religious fanatics are just boring.

"Microwaved Bee Gee" cracked me up.
I liked how Roger and Brie embraced like "two humans who have chemistry." Damning with faint praise, indeed.
On the subject of the couple's mad dash into each other arms, may I just say how impressed I was with Sophie Skelton's running skills? She was picking 'em up and putting them down like she was competing in the 100-meter dash ... in a Colonial-era dress.

That said, I don't give any figgedity fucks about Brianna and Roger's story.
Thank you for adding a new phrase to my vocabulary :-)

I never saw it, either, but I went out of my way not to see any hints of 'ships on his show. It's not that I'm against 'ships; I just didn't trust the writing staff to get them right.

The one good thing about the “revenge of the ‘copter” episode was the Susan/ Chuck storyline in it, but they messed that up eventually, too.
Oh, yeah ... I can stomach Return of the Evil Copter because Sherry Stringfield just acted the hell out of that episode. And I even liked Donal Logue.
CHUCK: "They brought their own nurse and that bitch wouldn't let me ride."
SUSAN: "That bitch saved your life!"
Of course, TPTB had to screw up even that semi-sweet relationship.

The casting had issues, but the writing was worse. All the recycled plots, all the contortions to bring races that don't belong. And then there was "A Night in Sickbay'. What in the bluediddly fuck was that?
Preach it! Season 2 of Enterprise was pretty good in spots, but almost unwatchable in others. Scott Bakula is one of my favorite TV actors, but I almost gave up on the guy during this season (he redeems himself pretty well in Season 3, though). The problem, I believe, wasn't with Bakula but with the gawd-awful writings in places. You've mentioned "A Night in Sickbay," and I never will defend that mess, but at least it was a hot mess, compared to the lifeless whatever that was "Precious Cargo," which is my least-favorite ENT episode. What made these horrible episodes so especially frustrating was that Season 2 also had some really good episodes, like "Dead Stop" and "Cogenitor," so it wasn't as if the writing staff was simply unable to put out quality episodes. I guess they figured, "hey, it's Trek ... those morons will watch anything."

"Homeless for the Holidays" remains the best Christmas ER episode.
It is a really, really good episode, but I'm still partial to "A Miracle Happens Here," from Season 2 ... all the goodness without the Amanda Lee creepiness at the end.

I don't care if Dottie dropped the ball on purpose. It's not important. You will never get your answer. That was never the point. We will never know if the top stops spinning at the end of inception or who is the the thing at the end of The Thing. It's not answered in the movie deliberately.
This is my opinion.
When I think back on this movie, I hardly recall the scene at all, but I will remember the telegram scene or "There's no crying in baseball" or "If it was easy, everybody could do it" probably forever.

The part that had me in stitches, though, was when Scott kept trying to get an ant to take him to the ferry, but the sea gulls kept eating his ants. For some reason, that just tickled my funny bone, and I just could not stop laughing.
"Murderer!"

Season 9 is almost unwatchable for me because of the Carter-Abby shenanigans. I never minded the show for displaying the characters' flaws — perfection is boring — but that pairing from hell was a train wreck waiting to happen from the word go.

Finally saw this and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was much better than the first one, IMO.
The funniest part, of course, was Luis' truth serum monologue. It was very satisfying to see that his motor mouth exasperates the bad guys, also. And I loved how Luis' mates had his back ... Dave saying, "You pay the dime, you've got to listen to the whole song" was a great line. I think I would pay to see an X Cons movie.
The action sequences were marvelous, especially the chase scene through San Francisco. Three or four times through that sequence, I caught myself asking, "How did they do that?"
The mid-credits scene was, of course, a major comedown from the light-hearted shenanigans, but at least it did firmly tie the Ant-Man franchise into the MCU as a whole.
Dang, Michelle Pfeiffer is still a gorgeous woman. Does she have a Dorian Gray-type portrait stashed away somewhere?

I have decided that at some point, I will be channeling my inner Benton and shouting "Come on people, let's move! Let's move, people!" I'm likely never going to get the chance to do it again, so why not?
Bonus internet brownie points is you scream, "Is he conscious? IS HE CONSCIOUS?"

I love "Blizzard".
Oh, my goodness, yes. There is wall-to-wall greatness in this episode, but strangely enough, my favorite little part is a blink-and-you-miss-it scene at the end of the third or fourth act: The camera is panning around the chaos in the ER before it settles on Haleh comforting a small child. Gradually, all the sound except for Haleh's singing — and, boy, can she sing — is removed as we go to commercial.
Perfect. Simply perfect.

But what the hell about Sally Field/Maggie Whatever says Memorial Day?
Well, if the purpose of Memorial Day is for us to remember, and remember is the same thing as "stuck in our brains forever, no matter how much we'd love to forget" then Maggie/Abby episodes are definitely Memorial Day material.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)
in Movies
I agreed with one review I read that the movie was enjoyable partly because the cast looked like they were having a blast during filming. If there's such a thing as a feel-good zombie flick, this was it.
Didn't really buy the Wichita-Columbus love story, but everything else was more than fine — and Zooey Deutch practically stole every scene she was in.
