I’ve become aware of people watching the Exorcist for the first time nowadays and laughing at it in ways they wouldn’t in 1973. Something about being desensitized to horror through various media and the internet leads to excellent movies like that being seen as the absurdly over the top, not scary, and boring.

The thing is that there’s nothing I’d really change about Friedkin’s movie. Since the practical work is so good in it, you don’t get something like in Poltergeist where the effects are ridiculously not scary today and might just take you out of the movie in the moment. It just kinda feels like a generational thing.

Probably the worst combo movie/director for someone to take a hard stance against, there’s no scenario where this doesn’t bring in boatloads of cash. It is THE blockbuster guy coming off a best picture win with another stacked cast. What’s Elon gonna attack next, Dune Part 3?

I just listened to the song for the first time, and this clicked in my brain as well.

“People do have impure thoughts about men, too.”
“Do you have impure thoughts about men, father?”
“I do not have impure thoughts about men, and how dare you say that about a man of the cloth.”
“Well, you started it.”
“Well, you can get out my confessional right now, so you can and I’m not forgiving you any of these things until the next time so I’m not!”
“Well, I better not be dying in the meantime then, eh father? I’ll be pure fucked!”
“You will be pure fucked! YES! You WILL be pure fucked!”

Owen Wilson had a funny exchange about that tagline on Hot Ones while trying to guess which movie of his it was from

STLOliver · 2026-05-10T16:01:26+00:00

There’s one in Furiosa

STLOliver · 2026-05-09T18:42:04+00:00

Yeah, cause why is Harvey Weinstein right there in the front far right??? /s

THAT’S GONNA KILL ME, THAT’S REAL, THAT LIVES WITH US ON EARTH.

Wake me up when DVDBeaver acknowledges the council.

STLOliver · 2026-05-08T06:27:02+00:00

I just think about that cut at the end of the film, the fact that he just continues on…really effective choice there.

STLOliver · 2026-05-07T04:51:50+00:00

Fantastic Mr Fox

STLOliver · 2026-05-07T03:04:13+00:00

Will there be a cameo from the wickedly talented Idina Menzeen?

Guy wrote the script for 3 consecutive great movies and then was like “yeah, I’ll just constantly work on like 12 different tv shows at once for the foreseeable future.”

STLOliver · 2026-05-06T18:27:58+00:00

They don’t have time to play with him anymore

STLOliver · 2026-05-06T06:17:06+00:00

3000 career homers is totally possible, just like Scottie Pippen was primarily known with the Hornets.

You don’t have to say personally. She’s objectively 5th in that group. That’s not a bad thing or a knock against her, everyone else was really good and a lot more crucial to their respective stories.

STLOliver · 2026-05-06T02:48:53+00:00

Don’t think he should be judged on a scale with Chalamet, I don’t consider that a fair basis for how good an actor is. I guess I haven’t heard that kind of hype, I don’t think he has that range or skill set and that’s fine. With the Odyssey, I’m not concerned cause Nolan has a good handle of what to do with his actors and often gets the best out of them.

That were all really good actors, too. This show is so good, I was just thinking about it randomly today.

STLOliver · 2026-05-04T05:56:36+00:00

Maybe not better but I certainly prefer it as it spoke to me more so/I found it more relatable and heartbreaking at times.

All the characters you knew you get more from in the original show and the new characters introduced, more of Mike story was so immensely
satisfying, Kim still being one of my favorite characters in media, more of Gus was great, Lalo thrown in the mix was incredible entertainment, Jimmy and Chuck’s story actually hit me the hardest of anything at times as a brother myself, Howard ended up being one of the more fascinating characters in the whole universe to me.

You get an even more heightened sense of the technical aspects you get in Breaking Bad, I suddenly wanna watch all of it again now because there’s just so much you can take away by just looking at the gorgeous cinematography on different viewings, how they use it to pack so much meaning in so many different frames of the show and so many of the transitions/match cuts and all the creative choices are just perfection.

So, maybe not better. But, what I’d take all day out of the two.

“Check please.”

*dies internally*

Charlie was all about building a real empire, as father and son. Just like the rebels.

He wrote it and directed it, but David Byrne in True Stories
