I'm the opposite of a prude, but so much of the romance in fantasy has gotten incredibly lazy and cheap.

At this point, not having romance tells me you focused on story and character over a cheap money-grab.

So, at the very least, I'm interested.

A Complete Unknown Just another biopic

Feels good to have a new Timothee Chalamet film to be excited about, because I'm still trying to wash the taste of disappointment out of my mouth from his Bob Dylan biopic. jakemitchell.substack.com/p/a-complete...

I do not think Alabama should be in the Playoff. I do think Alabama will beat Indiana.

College football was at its best when every single regular season game was do or die and bowl games meant something.

I like that Chalamet is competitive and I like that Tarantino is an asshole. Hollywood has gotten really boring and sanitized and that is a reflection of this weird polite veneer that everyone in the industry insists on wearing.

Talk shit! Say you’re the best! Be real and raw and honest!

I'm amazed that democrats still think posting like millennials is an effective way to oppose Trump.

The Shawshank Redemption movie review (1994) | Roger Ebert "The Shawshank Redemption" creates a warm hold on our feelings because it makes us a member of a family.

Rewatched The Shawshank Redemption last night (and, as always, reread Ebert’s review), and am forever blown away by what a perfect film it is. A million movies have tried to do what Shawshank does and end up coming across as trite award bait. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...
