Reno 911: The Hunt for QAnon is bad. It’s very bad.

That’s what I read. Already deleted it from TiVo.

We went to the Academy Museum today, and it was pretty great. It's literally at the other of the block I lived on for 6 or 7 years, so it was also a return to my old 'hood. The exhibits are a little thin, but what they do have is excellent. There's a film about sound design that's narrated by Ben Burtt (they break down the opening temple escape from Raiders). I bought us a season pass with unlimited admissions for a year, and I think I'll go back at least once and spend the whole time ogling the Carlo Rambaldi xenomorph skull from Alien.

Ghostbusters Afterlife was okay. Expected better based on some of the comments here.

My kid is home sick again today. She gets to watch movies when she’s sick… generally no questions asked. Today she’s going for the Bruno hat trick:
Encanto

The problem with the Butler theory is that he doesn't reveal he was in the room with Kane until after almost 2 hours of movie have elapsed; another character revealed Kane's final word to the movie world and set the story in motion. It's either a plot hole or bad writing and directing.
Either way, it's just about the only flaw in the film.

Speaking of movies with very few flaws, I watched Howard the Duck. Holy ****, that is one weird and horny flick. No idea how that got made. Also not sure how it got put out on 4k, but that is a very nice looking disc.

just watched Lethal Weapon for the first time in like 20 years. How come there’s so much hoopla about Die Hard being a man xmas movie and not Lethal Weapon? LW is almost overtly a Christmas movie

*sigh*
The Die Hard trope is only about 10 years old. It's just a thing to make slow people feel clever.

I admire his tenacity. Extending the position to go so far as to say White Christmas is not a Christmas movie is stunning. I will readily admit he has been living rent free in my head since unloading that one.

I know and I get the joke but it’s weird to me that Die Hard is the chosen action film and not Lethal Weapon as LW seems to have a lot more Xmas elements in it*sigh*

maybe it’s because Die Hard is a much more popular (Die Hard has 844k reviews on imdb, LW has 250k)

The plot of Die Hard is reliant upon it being a holiday party; you satisfy all the requirements for all the characters converging at that same point in time without the need for additional exposition. Its plot is more dependent on it taking place at Christmas than is It's A Wonderful Life.
The events in the plot of Lethal Weapon are not reliant on them happening at any particular time of year. Setting it at Christmas is nothing more than set dec. I've read a theory that it qualifies because of the themes of family and whatnot, but I find that vague and unconvincing.

Maybe because Shane black wrote it and just about all of his stuff is around Christmas time.
