Watch Movies TV Reviews: (411) Killer peanuts + links

Watch Movies TV -

(Yes, I do know it is Thursday but I am finally going to see Ready or Not tomorrow and I want to avoid El Camino spoilers so I'm dropping this RF early)

I rewatched It: Chapter Two and livethirsted it. Oh God. If Bill grows his hair again that is it for me, I won't make it.

I would have fainted:

How did she stop herself from kissing him?! HOW?!

Look at Ben there lol.

In the Tall Grass was awful. So boring, so nonsensical. Patrick Wilson really tried but he couldn't rescue that movie on his own. Netflix is really ridiculous, isn't it, it throws trash at us but once a month there's actually something worth seeing so we keep paying for it. Today El Camino drops, so there's that and next month it's The Crown 3 and The Irishman. But in the meantime they drop so many turds all over this service.

The Blackcoat's Daughter had a great atmosphere and really good performances, especially from Kiernan Shipka, but good God, was that movie slow. If you think The Witch and Midsommar are slow this film moves about 10 times slower than those.

I saw Crawl and that was really great. I'll have Screaming Sunday post about it this weekend. It's so much fun, really a perfect movie for Halloween month!

Then I saw Parasite and while I don't think it's the best movie of the year, it was very good and the screenplay was brilliant. And indeed, see it without watching any trailers or reading about it, it's a delightfully surprising movie.

Then I rewatched Crimson Peak. It looks so great and it's one of the few instances where Chastain was actually well cast and delivered a good performance, but that script was so thin. If only it was as unique, story-wise, and as well written as it looked.

I caught up with SNL. Woody Harrelson was very funny and there was a hilarious moment when the wardrobe lady came in too early. Aidy Bryant could not stop laughing after that. Phoebe Waller-Bridge's monologue was something I liked more than the 5 episodes of Fleabag I watched so far. There was also hilarious bit in Weekend Update where Michael Che listed all the ridiculous stuff Trump did recently and wondered if it's OK to make fun of him....with the strong subtext of "maybe he is slow"?

So just last week I was like "Man, it's a shame Jason Statham isn't in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen" and now this happens.

Do I have powers?

If so....

Let me try something:

Man, it's a shame Bill Hader isn't dating me.

Let's keep our fingers crossed my powers work again.

El Camino premiere was this week and we got a lovely cast reunion (1,2). Mark Hamill was there, having a great time (1,2). Here's the cast reading comments about the trailer.

Aaron Paul was on Kimmel's show this week. And in case you need the series' recap, here he is giving one in 2,5 minutes!

Martin Scorsese shared his thoughts on CBM movies and all hell broke lose.

Granted, he is talking about MCU but I am guessing this is his opinion about all CBMs. Now, if we are talking just about MCU he does have a point. This is like fast food. MCU has a formula and it sticks to that formula. It works, it's fun, but as long as they do this, no movie of theirs will ever reach the heights of Scorsese's best.

I still have Endgame at #1 of the year but let's not pretend those movies are some amazing art. MCU stans going after Scorsese is simply embarrassing to watch. But the actual actors and directors from MCU going after him too is even more pathetic.

Oh no. A degenerate who made jokes about rape is saddened.

Robert Downey Jr. had a very classy response to all of this.

Logan is CBM and it is my fav movie of all time. But why should I care what Scorsese thinks? I don't. The movies I like are the movies I like and that's all there is to it.

Americans betrayed Venom. Let's not even talk about the the rest of the world. At this point is it even worth mentioning something like this? This is the world where people shamelessly went to see Bohemian Rhapsody knowing full well their money will go to a rapist who will use that money to silence his victims.

Don't talk to me about merits of this movie when it leads to something like this. Shit like this makes it so much safer for women out there, huh?

Joker breaks records and when Ewan McGregor talks about Birds of Prey, one of the first women-led CBMs to happen, because even though it's 2019 those are still rare, replies like here happen. So let me get this straight - men, in addition to all the male-led CBMs they were getting, are also getting movies idolizing CB psychopaths now, and that's fantastic, apparently, but us women cannot even get the third female-led CBM in years without having to read shitty replies on every single tweet about it?

Wonder Woman 1984 allegedly screened to mixed reactions? They are thrilled. Birds of Prey news and promo drops? They are there telling everyone that his movie is gonna be flop.

Why are all the replies and social media reactions from these "men" so frequent? Where are the good guys? And where are the ladies supporting those movies?! How the hell is it possible that under that tweet ALL there is negativity? There are women on social media, where are they? Why aren't they there? I understand not jumping in now because those morons will just verbally abuse them but when that tweet dropped where were the women to say "good", "awesome", "I wanna see that"?

Reddit is like that. Twitter is like that. Message boards are like that. Is there some sort of a digital gag placed on women I am not aware of? What the fuck is happening?! Are all the women on tumblr writing fan fics and making gifs? We need you elsewhere, we need your voices out there!

Man, what the fuck?!

On the bright side, even Todd Phillips' cast has no respect for him..

The Academy is trying to grow a moral backbone after giving 4 Oscars to Bohemian Rhapsody. Aww shucks, you whores.

Just to level the field of awful, here is a woman acting like a total disgrace (1,2,3)

Moving on to the good things, Daddy Hopper, who is hosting SNL this weekend, was on Seth Meyers' show on Monday and he was delightful (1,2).

I finally watched NYFA talk with Bill and tweeted some clips. Why can't all men be like him? Or at least, one in tenth? To balance out the fucking awfulness? Come on, universe!
