On Trainwreck and the Era of Apatow

I spent this entire movie thinking, “boy, this feels just like a Judd Apatow movie. What ever happened to that subgenre of R-rated comedy?”

Spider-Man: No Way Home

I regret putting off writing this for so long, but those who enjoy brevity may appreciate that I likely have less to say now.

Ranma ½ The Movie 2: Nihao My Concubine

Ranma ½: Nihao, My Concubine (1992) - Where to Watch It Streaming Online | Reelgood

Like Big Trouble in Nekonron China before it, I’ve been waiting over 20 years to watch this movie. But unlike that film, this one…was not so horrible.

Last night I went to the theater for the first time since the Winter omicron surge began. I had been waiting to see the new Spider-Man picture until the crowds had died down some. The experience strengthened my resolve to earn my way into a highly paid field like software or web development just as quickly as I can, because that is the only way I will ever be able to afford the kind of home theater that will save me from the experience of going to a cinema in most cases.

The Matrix Resurrections

Edit: I did come back the next morning and finish it. It was awful.

Brian’s Exploratory Christmas Endeavor ’21: A Miracle on 34th Street (1994)

Last year I watched the original A Miracle on 34th Street, and I liked it a lot. There was another in the 50s, and one more in the 70s before this version which came out when I was a boy. Of the two that I have seen so far, this one is easily the weaker. But it isn’t awful.

Brian’s Exploratory Christmas Endeavor ’21: The Family Stone

My mother has been asking me to watch this film for years. Of course, the year I finally did, it was because my other mother decided to put it on in the middle of a very busy living room, and with me sitting at perhaps a 20 degree angle from the television. I am fully committed to re-watching the movie, but for now, take this review with a grain of salt: I was literally incapable of giving this movie my full attention.

GBU Season 4, Episode 7: Prancer

In a complicated minor Christmas miracle, I managed to get my mothers on the podcast this time.

Brian’s Exploratory Christmas Endeavor ’21: A Castle For Christmas

The fact that I forgot to review this movie (forgot I watched it, in fact) may be an indicator as to how I felt about it. But with that jab out of the way, I have to say: I didn’t hate it.
