Benoit Blanc being into show tunes in WAKE UP DEAD MAN (via two excellent diegetic needle drops) after being Zoom buddies with Sondheim in the last one is so good

Great casting and performances all around of course, but Josh O'Connor in this movie, holy moly. And my boy Noah sports some incredible facial hair.

I made the mistake of starting NG+ in Elden Ring before the DLC came out. No way am I going through the rigmarole of unlocking Mohg again on NG+ just to play the DLC

Green Monster, the brain lady, and the headbutting guy just before the brain lady have been the biggest brick walls so far. The latter being the worst, given that he's not even a boss

Yeah I have hit that guy up a lot. ...a lot.

227. Never ever use CGI or AI when you can simply recast. There are 160,000 members of SAGAFTRA alone. Someone can do the job. A casting director’s job is to find them.

Cassian and Jyn's dynamic works only when you see it for what it almost definitely is, which is "halfheartedly malicious compliance with studio notes"

Fuck man, I stayed at a friend's house this year that had built-in bidets in the toilets and it was a life-ruining experience for how it made all our regular toilet infrastructure seem Stone Age in comparison

This is 100% it. Rewatched in the wake of Andor and while it does benefit from proximity to that show, its core problems feel even more dramatically creaky now. Solid spectacle in there though

My extremely allergic (to near everything) partner and I thank you for your service!
