More Taco Bell Musings

I always feel like I am in the minority here. Feel free to disagree. I'm just looking for a compelling argument.

The crunchwrap supreme from Taco Bell has so much potential, and yet I can't bring myself to enjoy it much. I order it every once it a while hoping I change my mind, or that the...

March Movies

What films are you looking forward to in March.

The Animatrix

This is a really random question...but if you've seen the Animatrix, what was your favorite animated short used?

ANORA coming in strong

Interesting...

Topic Question

Name a movie that you think has aged poorly overtime, and why.

Oscars

We will discuss a lot more in depth for the Discord hangout later on (TBD), but I just wanted to get an overall idea of what ya'll thought of the Oscar nominations.

February Reviews

I don't really want to but...I saw Emilia Perez. I'd rather review that one than do a new release like Love Hurts/Heart Eyes. But what do you guys think? Let me know.

Which Film Should I Review?

I am pretty sure I know the answer to this already, but I'll ask anyway:

David Lynch

Yesterday was a rough day. But please feel free to share any personal feelings, stories, thoughts you may have about him. Anything that has been sticking out in your mind during this great loss for the arts. I will be trying to put together a little tribute video for him in the next day or two. <...

February Movies

Which movies in February are you looking forward to seeing, and which ones should I review?

The Substance BTS

BTS featurettes are rarely very good these days. But I'm glad they came out with this one.

Which Scorsese film do you prefer more?

I recently saw Taxi Driver in 4K in the theaters, and it got me thinking about this question quite differently than I had before. What's your opinion?

2025

What is your most anticipated film of 2025 and why?

Top 10

Hey guys. I know it's been a while. I've been taking a bit of a break for xmas. Will be back at it in January. I'm going to try and get my top 10 list up by next week sometime. I know we talked about it on our Discord hangout, but I'd love to hear what some of your favorite movies are from 2024. ...

Key and Peele

What is the best Key and Peele sketch? This is something I contemplate now and again.

Topic Question

Name a director you think is overrated, and why. Remember that if I've covered them before on a previous topic, I likely won't again, unless there's something interesting you offer in your opinion that could be worth discussing.

January Movies

What films are you looking forward to in January?

Avary and Tarantino

Chipping away at this whole interview. But yeah...obviously the final cut of Eyes Wide Shut has always been mysterious for the reasons mentioned. But glad they talked about it here. What do you guys think?

CEO Murder

I just keep picturing a Sopranos situation. This kid who is person of interest, is Jackie Jr. in my mind. He's young, and he makes the idiotic mistake of showing his smile to some young receptionist at the hostel. When you have a smile like that...best to hide it, duh. And the moment that survei...

It's So Creepy

I know lots of these interviews are going around. But God. This one stuck out to me for whatever reason. This is crazy. ><

Happy Thanksgiving

I thought this video was super adorable. Warms my heart. Thought I'd share it if you guys haven't seen it already. Good holiday video. And a good advertisement to watch Lord of the Rings during the winter lol.

What should I see?

What should I check out and review this upcoming week?

Tropic Thunder BTS

I'm so glad this whole thing was released. It seems they kept more the stuff from the earlier takes in the actual film. But yeah just fun to see them in their flow state. Especially considering the tone of the scene in the final result.

GLADIATOR 2

Just so ya'll know, yes I've seen it. Won't have time to do the review until tomorrow. But it's coming. Got me thinking a lot about the original. How do ya'll feel about it?

Topic Question

Name an actor you think is overrated and why.

Deep Question

What is the best sandwich? I think about this often.

Conan O'Brien Hosting the Oscars

Thank God Kimmel isn't doing it again. He probably turned it down because he's busy still crying XD. I think this is a good step in the right direction for them. Conan is one of the few who may not have his finger on the pulse per se, but he at least gets it. I have mad respect for him, and I am ...

December Movies

Some big ones. But what are the movies you are most excited to see? I'll be reading your answers and debating the ones I should review first. Thanks as always guys!

RED ROOMS

Who has seen it? I might do a review for that this week. Haven't decided. But I really liked it.

HERETIC and A24

I feel we've reached the point where we've completely overshot the elevated arthouse horror era, and this film is the perfect example of that. I gotta tell you...all these lofty, cerebral horror films we've been seeing this year that just haven't clicked. They get to wrapped up in their own machi...
