(Regular-ass TV part 2)

Krazy For Decades 2: Wasted! Youth! (THE END!!)


Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017)


My brief snotty comment on the show coming back here.
My bitchy review of "Fire Walk With Me", that makes me want to punch my past self in the face.
My larger review of the career of David Lynch, who I liked even then, and always liked, but with still a bitchy swipe at "Twin Peaks".

So, I've seen it all now, in the proper order.
That order being, the original show, "Fire Walk With Me", then the new ones.

I loved it.
I loved the shit out of it.
I don't know what the fuck was wrong with me.
I really don't.
Well, I'm cured now.
This is Lynch's masterpiece.
Don't know how or why I couldn't see it.

Maybe I'll attempt X-Files again sometime.
There's a lot of that to chew through though....

Anyhoo, I discuss TP more in depth in comments with Billdude here, and here.
Anything I wanted to say in a long rambling review, I said there.
And Billdude said it even better.


I'll retro-link this into "I don't h8 the 90's anymore".

Big 2018 Movies Part 1.


Previously....

2013-2014.
2015-2017.

The big 2015-2017 movie recap.


And we start 2018 off with...

Black Panther (2018)


Previously on MCU phase 3....

And now the rundown.
  • HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!
  • You thought the trailers were awesome? It surpasses them. They did it.
  • You thought Black Panther kicked ass in his little scenes in "Civil War"? Just you wait!
  • Best of the standalone origin movies, hands down.
  • Best Ryan Coogler movie.
  • Best sympathetic villain.
  • Best MCU villain.
  • Everyone brings it and nails it acting wise.
  • Effects are top notch.
  • Black Panther is going to be your new favorite MCU hero. If not, at least in your top 5.
  • It's unavoidable to wade in to the politics, so I'll say it, the world needs this movie. Particularly America. This is the cultural moment for this movie to exist.
  • I'm a dumb white guy, and it made my eyes well up in places. 
  • I don't know where it sits on the Marvel list yet. Definitely way up there. Maybe even in "Civil War", territory.
  • I hope this makes a billion worldwide.
  • I can't picture you not liking this movie. It's statistically possible, but if you hate this movie, it's one of those ones where I don't want to know you.
  • Stay tuned for 2 after credits scenes.
  • Traffic was smooth. For a change.
Can NOT fucking wait for Infinity War now!!!!!!

Go see it.
Multiple times.


Next time, Ready Player One.

Star Wars trilogy...4???


Previously...

This news has been out for awhile, but its time I caught up.


David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, showrunners on "Game Of Thrones", have signed up to do their own series of Star Wars films.

These would be on top of the Rian Johnson trilogy, and the (alleged) next three anthology films.

They'll write the overall story arc, and produce, and hand 'em off to other directors.

No word on what this, or indeed the Johnson trilogy, are going to be about.

If they're gonna do all 9 of these, they're gonna have to ramp up to 2 or 3 movies a year, like Marvel is doing.

I'll call this "the Benioff & Weiss trilogy", or "Benioffenweiss", as I've heard some pronounce it.

Solo: A Star Wars Story update.


Previously...

So, here's the Superbowl teaser.

Linky!!

And here's the post-Superbowl "Good Morning America", full trailer.

Linky!!!


And here's the first 4 character posters.
I say first 4, because Woody Harrelson's character isn't in there, and he's supposed to be important, so we'll probably get him, and an alien, or a droid, and maybe the villains next time.





And, here's an update to the infographic with the Han character poster as a placeholder until we get the final full poster.
