We’re showing the kids Lord of the Rings for the first time. It’s also my first time seeing it in about fifteen years.

And it’s so weird how it goes along like a perfectly normal epic fantasy… and then all of a sudden [MEME!] and then normal fantasy… and then [MEME!]

It’s also disconcerting after fifteen years of Sam being idolized as the most perfect character on the internet to see again how hypocritical and judgmental he is when it comes to Gollum. Continue reading “Re-Watching Lord of the Rings”

If I controlled the universe, every day would be filled with 60s style pop songs about spaceships, sung by talking animals.

That feeling when a man has asked you to help him learn how to be better by pointing out when he does something wrong, and yet when you do so, he makes it all about his feelings instead of the actual thing.

I rewatched Dead Again (1991) for the first time in ages, and that script is tight. So smart and well-written. So, I looked up the writer’s other credits…

Scott Frank wrote Logan (2017). Yeah. Continue reading “From Dead Again to Queen’s Gambit”
