Rewatching the Trek movies...and getting pissed that this great crew is being retired. Such a pity. They had at least 3 more movies in them.

Hmm. I'm an Eragon devotee (go ahead, ask me my true name), but can the series be successfully adapted for television? My fear is that the minute you take it beyond the page, it loses a certain texture and seems like generic fantasy (the 2006 movie proves my point). deadline.com/2026/02/erag...

For the last (I hope) time, "The Odyssey" has sirens and a freaking cyclops. It's mythic fantasy, not a historical document.

It tends to work out well when Christopher Nolan casts musicians. Just sayin'.

For the record, I was an Olivia Wilde fan even when it wasn't cool :) www.wweek.com/arts/movies/...

James Cameron's “Fire and Ash” may be an “Avatar” sequel, but it is also a cinematic cousin of Cameron’s “The Abyss” (1989), an underwater voyage that confronted (and nearly drowned in) divine endlessness. foolswhodreammovies.com/avatar-fire-...

"Caught Stealing" is frisky fun from Darren Aronofsky, a director who’s at his most exuberant when he’s frolicking in the dark. foolswhodreammovies.com/caught-steal...

Why do so many film festival reviews say that the lead actor "steals the show"? Only a supporting actor can steal the show 😅

Moderate Dems got what they wanted in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Speaking as one of the "online left": If the middle is so great, why do they keep losing to the most extreme right-wing president of my lifetime?
