They did it. Those crazy bastards really did it

If you see the guy you think is out to kill you stab someone to death while saying “die, <your name>, die die” would you run past that guy, who hasn’t seen you, as you try to escape? Or turn around and run the other way?

Movie came out in 2016, Gotham started in 2014. Is it possible Kartheiser was up for Gordon, didn’t get it, hate watched the first season or so, and then decided to show Gotham what it missed by bringing his Gordon to the movie? You could probably do some compelling side by side comparisons

Maybe “vaguely retro noir detective” as a character brief simply produces one portrayal but it amazes me how you could easily take footage from one actor, stick it in the other work, and have it slide into place with zero friction. They’re even doing the same voice along with the hair and costuming

Finally clicked that Vincent Kartheiser is in this, somehow looking younger than when he started on Mad Men despite the movie releasing a year after the show ended. Also seems like they wanted Ben McKenzie for the role because the character is a 99% match for him as Gordon in Gotham

Just as I hit send the flashbacks start so maybe I was hasty

Maybe the second half of the movie will use flashbacks to fill in the gaps from the first half? Not expecting much from a movie that fumbled a femme fatale doing a torch song by putting her not in the typical, period appropriate dress but in a sequined blouse and pants combo

I’m not exactly watching this movie but it sure seems like his wife is both “never touch me again” and “if you ever leave me I’ll kill myself and everyone will blame you for it” while also imagining he’s fucking someone else every single second he’s out of her eyeline and it’s really confusing

It is an amazing show of restraint that Wilson hasn’t starred in every Amityville inspired “man driven to murder his entire family with an axe because they can never stop complaining for one single minute” movie of the last 20 years. Like he was grown in a lab for that exact purpose

The “I’m trying to tell my family I’m pregnant but I’m having a hard time actually spitting it out and in the meantime my sister breaks down about how she can’t get pregnant” scene is just

The VVitch except the closing scene with Anya Taylor Joy gleefully joining the coven is the opening scene and they go on to have a grand time brewing potions and cursing drunkards

This is why every woman should have at least one coven of the crustiest witches imaginable with a network of cabins in the local forest on speed dial. I’m talking about Nic Cage in Pig levels of crust, fully independent of society, who are dying to dry herbs and stir a huge kettle with you all day

I’m not even mad at the ham fisted “but what about my band?” dude who’s entire purpose is to be the worst

Might also be a fan of rollerskating girl movies but all I can come up with at the moment is Boogie Nights (ok) and Whip It (on my short list), plus maybe Battle Angel Alita and the various iterations of Rollerball if we’re getting expansive

I’m a fan of the “newly minted woman who is an extravagant mess but is also trying her best” genre but it is not on the same continent as “disgraced priest is the only one who can do the exorcism that will postpone the apocalypse” for me

Just saw an ad from one of the other Lt Gov candidates about how he opposes yet another goddamn casino in the DMV. It does not feature the candidate in front of a “crowd” of what I assume are campaign staffers and, crucially, had not played in every single YouTube ad break for the past week

Between Dogma and His Dark Materials I think we’ve covered the whole “exorcising God from a mortal vessel” angle covered for the rest of my lifetime, barring the emergence of a new genius or unthinkable technology. Let’s just stick to the hits: exorcising children possessed by demons

Prodigal son returns to cult trying to summon God to bring about the second coming is a pitch made entirely of the same elements I am composed of. There’s a cute blonde and some decent cosmic deity visuals. This should have been a layup

Every time I see Reirden fail and drop down a level when he became The Guy after the Caps won the Cup

This also applies to whacking any random Panther in the face when he’s down on the ice

Meanwhile a pair of former Caps greats, Connor Brown and Nate Schmidt, grabbed each other. I assume it was to debate the virtues of District Taco vs Taco Bamba

Could get downright decadent and do a slice of swiss alongside the traditional slice of american tomorrow because I have a lot more swiss left than ham and use it in far fewer situations

Screw hot beef injections, by the time I hit bed tonight I’ll be hip deep in hot ham infusions

May have just drank the leftover melted butter that didn’t get brushed (spooned, because lazy) over the top of the rolls

This is after I had a full on ham and Swiss sandwich on the frozen Asiago loaf for lunch. I am as unstoppable as the Kool-Aid Man (excluding high blood pressure, which has done a great job of stopping me)

To each their own. Lots of people like bananas, or shrimps, and to me they are the devil. I could almost get onboard the can’t be too sweet train except one time I got hoodwinked into mixing Coke and orange juice and that was objectively Too Sweet
