The Pitters' Place

Plagiarism and Stan Lee's presence aside, Marvel movies just plain suck (9 out of 10 times).

There's nothing about a public movie theater that prevents me from wanking off to the sex parts.

Yeah, Sicario was kind of flat and empty.

Ex Machina was great. It's funny that the two male leads are both in the new Star Wars.

The Big Short A lot of technical jargon about banks and real estate that I didn't understand adding up to explaining the housing crisis and global economic collapse in the mid-to-late-2000s. Entertaining performances from Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt, Steve Carrell and others. Ultimately...

We still have a drive-in. It's awesome, just not my first choice.

I saw about half of it. Not bad. I should probably make time for the whole thing.

I'm going to see The Big Short tonight and The Hateful Eight tomorrow, probably. Two important ones that might make the list.

There's a local theater called The Tower that I've always loved and is basically my second home. It's small, what some might call "quaint", and aesthetically beautiful. It plays the small "indie" flicks and occasionally airs classics. Every time I'm there is my best theater exper...

I liked the juxtaposition of the sun being completely drained and Kylo deciding to kill Han. The sun's light and Kylo's light got sucked out at the same instant. Not bad. It's like he was actually considering indulging in the light before that happened. And I generally agree with the thought that Re...

Macbeth - 9.2/10

Very good. Marion Cotillard and Michael Fassbender doing Shakespeare was a great idea. Highly recommended.

The originals suck. The prequels suck more. This new one, I suspect, will be to Star Wars fans what the new Star Trek movies are to Star Trek fans. Nah, the originals had a good mixture of heart, humor, wonder, and adventure. The Han Solo character brought most of that too. If it weren't for Harris...

Birdman is awesome. You're both wrong.

Edge of Tomorrow - 7.75/10 Really good. I think it was overlooked because people seem to have a problem with Tom Cruise these days for some reason. The Theory of Everything - 8.25/10 I like Eddie Redmayne and am in love with Felicity Jones. And Stephen Hawking is interesting. The Judge - 7/10 Prett...

it surprised me when I heard people criticise moderate Muslims for staying silent. They're not silent, they're really mad. Yeah, I know. It's weird that people think that, but it's probably simply that that that sort of thing isn't reported on the news and therefore cannot possibly be real. [none] ...

Bay Area residents are experts at jumping on bandwagons. I swear to God. When the Niners started being good a few years ago with Harbaugh, everyone and their mothers jumped on. And there were Giants fans before they started winning multiple World Series, but after 2010 that shit got insane. A bunch ...

So, it's been 22 days since posting here, and I've seen probably a hundred movies in that span. No way to remember them all. Mostly older things on Netflix. I also saw Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in 35mm at my local classic theater, which was great. One of my all-time favorites. Notable th...

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Y...

There's a thing called "strength of victory", which is yeah basically strength of schedule. Take the combined winning percentage of teams that they've beaten. So, Denver's just played teams with slightly better records than the Pats. And both of them slightly more than the Bengals.

Halfway through the regular season, this is the playoff picture:

AFC
1. Broncos
2. Patriots
3. Bengals
4. Colts
5. Raiders (

6. Jets

NFC
1. Panthers
2. Packers
3. Cardinals
4. Giants
5. Falcons
6. Vikings

I typically read while at work. And then after work it's either movie time or outside playtime with the boy or some variation of the two. And when I have the day off and he's at school I'll probably be watching movies. The little fucker's eight and he's seen more movies than most people will their e...

It's things like this that really make me sad Malcolm X died before anything could get figured out. We're all fucked, and no one in the public eye is smart enough to say anything worth listening to.

The onus of maintaining peace is on the trained professionals whose job it is to uphold peace and protect citizens, not a citizen who may or may not be disrespectful. No level (no level) of verbal disrespect deserves violence from anyone, let alone the fucking police. The police are supposed to be t...
