Saw Thunderbolts by myself yesterday on my self-care date and in the first shot of Bob, I definitely thought it was Zac Oyama. I had a good time, but I spent the whole morning wishing I had been right and couldn’t get over it.

Oh my god, we’ve been doing a full watch of Doctor Who (1963-present) and we just reached Family of Blood. I just caught a bit of trivia I’ve missed the million other times I’ve seen this episode before. The Doctor, as John Smith, tells Joan that his father was 1/2

a watch maker named Sydney and his mother was a nurse named Verity. This is has got to be a nod to Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman and the shows original producer Verity Lambert. Did anyone else catch that? Am I just slow? Why can’t IMDb ever have cool trivia like that?? 2/2

So I’m definitely back in my Hunger Games era (I just re-read all the books and watched the movies) and I finally watched Ballad. It’s not my favorite book in the series, but the movie just lacked the nuance that makes it good. 1/3?

Also, they took away a lot of Lucy Gray’s agency and cleverness. The impact of The Hanging Tree song is so much less because they didn’t explain it properly. I will give them props for using some younger looking kids in the arena 2/3

(the original trilogy movies were cowards in this respect and I stand by that), but so many “kid” characters were clearly adults. Oh, and Viola Davis was clearly having a great time. But the movie overall just isn’t great. Makes me worried for the Sunrise adaptation. 3/3

I don’t even go here so bear with me. I don’t know if the new Superman movie will be good or not but I do know Nicholas Hoult is a GREAT choice for Lex Luthor.

I hate having a normal conversation with a rider while driving Lyft and they suddenly take a sharp turn into conspiracy theories. What makes you think I want to know about how you think there are nanoparticles in vaccines designed to kill us?? Do I give off a certain vibe, sir?

While driving for Lyft tonight, I picked up some college freshmen who were talking about being born in 2006. These BABIES were born when I was *in college*. Pardon me while I perish.

You are up to date.
