Just got back from Fantastic Four. While it wasn’t quite up there with Marvel’s best and honestly I did enjoy Superman more, it’s still a really good film.
The cast is great, Galactus is finally represented as he should be, and there are some brilliant references for those in the know.
Rewatched Toy Story for the first time in years though this gaslight edit of the entire movie. Absolutely hilarious what was put in. Tight ass screenplay outside of the edits. It goes through settings and scenarios so effortlessly. Such a well thought out movie. Watch this version if you want something to laugh at. You can find the link to the full movie in one of the comments in this Twitter link.

Saw the Fantastic Four: First Steps today ! The Fantastic Four were in it
– Sue was in it, and she was pregnant ! She must’ve had SEX ! I thought, surely…she shouldn’t be fighting in that condition
– In fact, you don’t see them fighting [with their powers] much until the end. I liked Superman better in this regard
– So, the main antagonist is Galactus. I’d’ve thought he’s too big for the Four to take on physically, unless they built some kind of Anti-Galactus laser or something. In which case, what’s the point of them having superpowers [?]
– Well, I guess you can take him on physically in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
– Ending was a total Pokemon: the First Movie ripoff
One of the Fantastic Four gets turned into stone???
And then a bunch of critters cry, and their tears magically bring him back to life???
I saw Sean Baker’s Prince of Broadway. I’m a big fan of his naturalistic style of filmmaking as it often transports you to real places you might not find yourself. PoB puts you into the world of bootleg hustlers- specifically through the eyes of undocumented immigrants and immigrants in green card marriages. It really drives home how difficult it is to get out of the poverty especially when you have parental responsibilities without losing sight of the joys to be found in community and family. Great flick!
Not stone, exactly, but one of them appears to die and then gets all better thanks to [SPOILER]
I was half-kidding, but I asked myself how often we see this happen at the end of movies. Pokemon was the first one to come to mind
Oh wait, yeah–one of the Four DOES get turned to stone
Watched the Blackberry movie. I knew they fell to Apple but man, it was so heart breaking. Highly recommend!
Great flick. Anytime I think of Waterloo, I remember that’s where the vampires hang out.
I watched the most recent season of Lego Masters as I do every season of Lego Masters. Each episode is God breathed, and if Will Arnett invited me to join a cult, I’d join. The show is a 45 minute advertisement for Lego made by people who hate the network that hosts them featuring contestants who love Lego and Lego Masters more than life itself. Theres something so pure in that dichotomy that makes for great entertainment. And the people often make things that are genuinely impressive, but acheivable? It makes me believe that I could complete a big Lego project. It makes me believe I could be a Lego Master. It makes me believe in myself. What greater gift can a show give me?
Also, Will Arnett taught me that you can rock a thinner mustache.
Was that line a reference to something? I didn’t really get it.
Also I think I spotted an error. At one point Doug is wearing a Wolfenstein t-shirt. It’s supposed to be 2003 or something but that logo wasn’t around until New Order in 2014. 
TAIYI’S NOT MIKE POLLOCK IN THE DUB 
. Already saw it in Mandarin, one of my favorites of the year.
Watching season 3 of Fargo. It received the moniker of “the bad season” long ago, so I didn’t watch it. But the new Noah Hawley Alien show put it on my mind, and two episodes in, this thing boisterously slaps ass. There are so many beautifully complicated characters. I don’t want anything bad to happen to any of then because they are fun to watch, but I know a Coen-esque fiasco is afoot, and I’ll just have to cross my fingers Carrie Coon makes it out alive. Speaking of which, great performances all around from Carrie Coon, Ewan McGregor (twice!), David Thewlis, Michael Stuhlberg, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. If I were in a relationship with Mary Elizabeth Winstead, I would stay out of trouble by listening to Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The show so far is creating a narrative about the interpretation of symbols, and I am excited to see where it goes.
This was labeled the bad season? I didn’t know that. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
I’ve heard that narrative a few times, but so far I’ve enjoyed season 3 all the same.
I really don’t have a Fargo season I didn’t enjoy. Same for all of Legion. I just generally really enjoy Hawley’s work.
i like the king of the hill revival. johnny hardwick is dead so dale sounds weird and the first episode spends a lot of time resetting the table, but i like the three episodes ive watched. its nice to see hank reckon with bobby as an adult. their relationship was so stuck in time and that parent/adult-child relationship such a focus in modern times that checking in feels fascinating. kinda feels like the perfect show to revisit if it werent for everyone involved with it dying all the time.
plus bobby is a chef now and you can tell they took some time to actual understand the industry which i love. i’d happily work for bobby hill.
well at least it should be better than the halo series.
Never watched Halo, but I did hear how bad it was.
This will probably surprise no one, but I loved the new Naked Gun movie. Very much my comedic sensibilities. It’s the funniest movie since Popstar (a film I missed in theaters), and it is the hardest I’ve laughed in theaters.
