(Since the last time I did this in 2014, there have been fifteen new Marvel movies from various studios released to theatres, so an update was warranted.) THE ONES THAT ARE JUST TOTAL SHIT 47. Fantastic Four (2015) A godawful mess on every possible level, and no, even Michael B. Jordan doesn’t come away looking […]

Ric Flair at Clash of the Champions XI won Worst Match). They […]

10.) John Wick Chapter 2. Here is the interesting thing about John Wick 2: it is, fairly blatantly, a critique of capitalism. John Wick is imprisoned in an economic system with rules designed to benefit the powerful and all he really wants to do is not be a part of it any more, but when […]

Mastodon has seen one of its periodic growth spurts over the last week as a bunch of left-leaning sorts finally decided they had had enough of Twitter’s awful moderation policies and the not-ignorable possibility that it might be run by people at least a little sympathetic to Nazis. This is the most recent growth spurt […]

In comments on the previous post, Disgrunted Manatee suggests: As others have said, without a picture of the selection from previous ages, it is hard to digest this data. I still recall Blockbuster having an entire aisle to display 100 copies of each of the 3 most popular movies at the time, then 3 aisles […]

People who know me know that I continue to be concerned that the transition to streaming services is actually providing less choice to film viewers rather than more. This is not a new hobby horse I’m riding, of course, but my opinion isn’t changing as time goes on, and the reason was recently illustrated to […]

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: I have seen nothing in this category, but: a lot of people are predicting that The Salesman will win, because director Asghar Farhadi is directly subject to Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, and because Hollywood is liberal and doesn’t like that sort of thing. I don’t think it’s going to win, for […]

I see a lot of sentiment from American liberals and lefties that the United States needs single-payer healthcare, e.g.: 16/ Among the three remaining choices — GOP-Care, Obamacare, and Single Payer Universal Healthcare — the last is the winner. — Adam W Gaffney (@awgaffney) December 22, 2016 Now, I understand being frustrated with the American […]

UPDATE: Unfortunately there was a tech snafu almost immediately on our end as a result of an accidental Limesurvey mis-save, which was causing the survey to crash on the third page (it was trying to load data that was slightly different than what existed). We’ve fixed the problem by rebooting into a fresh survey, but […]

Let me just explain why this is bad, because it is bad on multiple levels and thus frustrating to watch. (I checked out around, oh, Moby or thereabouts.) 1.) It is essentially impossible to do. First off, the members of the Electoral College – and particularly the Republican members of the Electoral College – are, […]
