I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I like Michael Keaton, but I've given up on legacy sequels. Are Top Gun Maverick and Blade Runner 2049 the only good ones?

Cobra Kai has been great most of the time.
The 3rd Bill and Ted was pretty good.
It’s divisive, but I thought the last Indy was great.

I'm really looking forward to that. Viggo Mortensen is actually a very accomplished photographer, painter, and author. Curious to see how those skills transfer over to writing/directing. Also my friend Nadia is in this.

I haven't seen Falling yet. But I thought of it, because I've got 68 movies left from (watching a bunch of) 2020 now, and it's one of them.

Mickey, please come back and tell Joe he's an idiot for saying Plemens is whatever.

Thank you.

I like Plemens. I just felt your disrespect of Stone was uncalled for.

She's alright -- I am experiencing a little E Stone fatigue is all. Not her fault.

Argo thinks Yorgos Lanthimos should die, though. Seems a little excessive.
