‘Ebony & Ivory’ is the worst movie I’ve seen in a decade or more. Totally irredeemable in every way.

Anti-comedy provocateur Jim Hosking does a revisionist take on Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder's 'Ebony & Ivory' collab, but there's no harmony here.

My review, as promised. There’s a lot wrong with 28 Years Later, but the misses in the action choreo surprised me the most. Boyle has officially lost his fastball, @scenestealreric.bsky.social

’28 Years Later’ Movie Review
Misshapen, inert, and incomplete, ’28 Years Later’ feels like the bad first episode of a bigger story that’s only just getting started here.

Review coming shortly, but 28 Years Later = stunningly bad. Like, I’m shook. Wasn’t expecting it to be nearly this awful.

Sometimes I think about the ever-narrowing scope of things I allow myself to give a fuck about, and it worries me. Like, not today, but sometimes.

Getting older is just the crushing, daily realization that you’ll never have a boss as awesome as Joe from Empire Records, and that your expectations for good management crested at 16 years old.

New Reacher season drops tomorrow, and it’s [Larry David voice] pretty, pretty good. Even so, it has some issues in the back half when the changes from the book start catching up with the show’s version of the story. My review: theplaylist.net/reacher-seas...

#cassandro is pretty good…great, even. Was hoping for a little more out of the 3rd act, though. My review: www.scene-stealers.com/reviews/prin...

No one ever talks about how getting older just means being tired all the time and getting fatter and depressed because your favorite clothes don’t fit any more…just kidding, everyone talks about that shit. And they’re right.

30 years now and 99% of the radio airplay Nine Inch Nails gets is “Closer” (ironically, one of their least radio-friendly songs). A dozen albums and at least twice that many damn good songs and still…”Closer” dominates. [sigh]
