A character will say, “It makes no goddamn sense.” And because I’ve seen movies before I know the response is going to be “It makes perfect goddamn sense.” But the questions hovers above it all: do they wish they wrote something I couldn’t have guessed instead?

STRANGER THINGS is at a weird cross-section of pure referentiality while also trying to exist as a standalone credible drama. And nowhere is this friction more apparent than the dialogue.

I’m not the first to say it, and I’m looking forward to rewatching them on streaming, but AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH feels like the first Cameron movie that isn’t a revolution. I want to see the Na’vi roaming the Manhattan streets at night like Frankenhooker. WAY OF WATER is my fave.

This is an ideal Movies and Chaos episode: four people who have devoted their lives to movies discussing what matters: the '90s live-action TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Trilogy! Just a little holiday treat! 🐢🎅

I watched “Avatar: Fire and Ash” in 3D IMAX. People often say, “God is in the details,” but truly seeing that philosophy carried through in the act of creation is not an easy thing to do. This film shows absolutely no compromise, right down to the finest details, in the

But you don’t get it, no one talks about AVATAR, unlike such box office hits as THOR: THE DARK WORLD, FREE GUY and every live action Disney remake of the past decade.
It’s incredible how angry people get when you tell them AVATAR does, in fact, have cultural relevancy. I’m sorry your world is so small and anecdotal you can’t see it, but movies don’t make THIS much money THREE times without leaving a huge impact. Never bet against Big Jim.

I’m writing a strongly worded letter to Nova Scotia Power about how the wind BLEW OFF THE 3D for ten minutes in the middle of AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH IMAX 3D yesterday.

I like the that the next Oscars are going to be on YouTube instead of an exclusive for Canadian cable subscribers. It used to be no one under 60 knew how to watch them. Now no one over 60 will know.

I think analysts minimalize how much the death of the movie star era is connected to younger generations’ distrust of the rich and to many celebrities’ fear of expressing their views at a time when authenticity is becoming prioritized.

Any movie made before you were born is an old movie. Any person whose head is beneath your eyeline is short. I don’t make the rules. I just write them for future generations.

People complain about movie audiences now but they forget or never experienced the late ‘90s laser pointer era. You’d go see SCREAM 2 opening night and there’d nearly be a riot because some jackass kept aiming a red light on Neve Campbell’s forehead like it’s a Predator crossover

That’s not what I asked. What does Wendy’s think of ZOOTOPIA 2?

People complain there’s no monoculture when really what’s happened is former subculture interests have risen to equal footing in the mainstream. Maybe the real issue is there’s no counterculture.

On this note, and with rising illiteracy rates, read more books. It exercises your ability to focus. Read long daunting books that are like climbing Mount Everest.

The surest evidence that phones have hijacked our brains is that so many people (even older generations) have trouble sitting through a movie without distractions. The best defense for movie theatres now is that you’re forced to watch movies without interruption.

Still catching up on STRANGER THINGS. I’m surprised Eleven hitting her bully with a skate didn’t become more of a political wedge issue. There’d be replies to celebrities like, “Oh, so Jenna Ortega is saying everyone she disagrees with should be clocked with a rollerskate!?”

Not to be crass but do you think there will be more Zombie Dong than the last one? The porn version title writes itself.
