I think that Banksy’s couch gag broke something in me. I stopped watching the Simpsons about then.

The best part about it is the subtlety. Tiny shifts across a season. Few changes in visuals across the entire run.

It is the most lovely theme song I’ve heard.

The Bourne films.

There is no other answer than this.

M-I:2 was a miss on so many levels.

John Woo tried his best. That script couldn’t be saved.

I say this as a person whose guilty pleasure is a rewatch of any M:I movie. But, I can’t give any time to this turd sandwich.

Lilo and Stitch is the best Disney movie.

Many, many spoilers below. But, seriously, this movie is 21 years old. Get over yourselves.

Check it: a young girl adopts an illegal alien (killing machine from deep space) and protects him from the U.S. (and galactic) government (Military-Industrial complexes), while keeping her incredibly depressed sister (slices both ways) from giving up completely as they keep their Indigenous Hawaiian family together in their co-opted homeland. One sister works a series of dead-end tourism jobs; the other has anger issues. The hate each other and love each other fiercely, though they are about 12 years apart in age.

Oh, yeah, and their parents are dead.

Meanwhile, the alien is a political refugee and freedom fighter fleeing from his own people who want him dead for —get this— existing. A lab-grown, indestructible terrorist, he seeks asylum on an island — but he can’t swim.

He does learn to surf.

The only downside to this film is that Disney produced it. And Elvis.

“Ohana means family. Nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”
