Award Winning

Someone asked if I could build an app with a real shot at an Apple Design Award. After thinking it over, I realized what wins the award might run contrary to what helps his business. When you create an award, you create a motivation. Give me a Knight Rider episode any day.

Thor: Love and Thunder

I knew nothing about Thor: Love and Thunder beyond a vague sense that it existed. I tried to watch it. It's unwatchable. Did someone lose a bet, and this movie was the result?

Space Force Tries So Hard and I Want to Like It

Space Force is well done, well acted, a top-notch production, and the vanilla of ice creams: no one hates it, but if a good flavor is available, vanilla stays in the freezer. The Grinder, on a tenth the budget, was the chocolate, until a therapist character ruined it.

Muppets from Space (or The Desperate Need for Quality Family Films)

Finding a movie that satisfies both the CoComelon-tier toddler and the adults is a perennial challenge for pizza-and-a-movie night. Then I stumbled on Muppets from Space. The kids were rapt, the parents weren't bored, no dodgy themes, and Gonzo finds his people.

Metal Tornado

You haven't witnessed true cinema greatness until you've endured Metal Tornado. I won't spoil the ending, except to say Philadelphia was saved and Paris was not so lucky.

Like Independence Day but with no who, why, or explanation. The heroes were fine, but where was the Rage Against the Machine tribute? Still, it beat Cloverfield: at least they used tripods.

"This iiiiiisssss Christmas music!" Run DMC, for the win.

It's no trouble

"No. I'll shoot the cook. My car is parked out back anyway." Brilliant.

Fidelity

Fidelity in relationships matters, so I've committed to not looking at another iPad before mine arrives. Here's to testing the limits of human will power. Maybe I'll just look at a picture of one. That's not cheating, is it?

The Mad Hatter

Johnny Depp. Anne Hathaway. Alice in Wonderland is going to be great. No, not this one. This one. Ha ha ha.
