Smashed three car windows already to save dogs from the heat. Haven’t found any yet but I’m not giving up.

Pet peeve that I came up again and now I want to voice: I don't understand why the movie industry pretends movies still come out on Fridays. Midnight releases haven't been a thing for over a decade. Movies come out on Thursday nights, I don't know why we pretend they don't.

Reasons for writers to use "big" words: 1) The "big" word conveys a nuance of meaning that the "normal" word may not, being too vague 2) The "big" word sounds cool (as in, the word actually does sound cool and not like the writer is trying to get sapiosexually laid) 3) You fucking feel like it

I made something stupid

I think there's a REALLY good case for John Goodman being considered the greatest actor alive. The insane amount of range he has is genuinely mind-boggling and more often than not, he gives the best performance in every movie he's in. Even when he's not the lead. Like we can keep going!

Over on the Patreon bonus feed we're talking about the excellent conclusion to Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe animated series; Revolution. Skeletor punches Keith David's Hordak in the balls and he goes "You dirty motherfucker!" (not really, but he should) www.patreon.com/c/alexanders...

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

Now available on the School of Movies podcast feed: We talk about the new Masters of the Universe. It's a fun mess and even if you haven't seen it, this show will still crack you up.

ICYMI,

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

Would very much appreciate shares and follows and such on this one - THE FURIOUS hit the Top 10 at the U.S. box office, but only barely, and we need to get the Good Word out as far and wide as possible.

You know how it is; Saturday night, coming home, you think "I could murder a kebab!" Happy Birthday to Me is the batshit crazy 1981 slasher we're currently talking about on our Patreon bonus podcast feed. www.patreon.com/c/alexanders...

Someone asked which muppet is most out of pocket on Sesame Street in the wake of the Knicks win. While there are lots of good answers, we actually have photographic evidence for this one

Stunned myself with the realization that RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983) is a recapitulation of the Biblical Binding of Isaac where Abraham decides to kill God instead of his son
