Day: March 19, 2025

I’ve had it with “This Is Heavy Doc.” He’s posted his last slash-and-burn insult comment. I was sick of his Anora hate anyway. I zotzed his ass just now on the site (12:30 am), and for added clarity’s sake I told him he was terminated by direct email. His real name is Chris; also Mudd. Good riddance.

Earlier this month Jeff Sneider passed along loose talk about Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride (Warner Bros., 9.26.25), a woke-feminist re-imagining of James Whale’s The Bride of Frankenstein (‘35). And with musical interludes!

Sneider had heard the film is “pretty weird.” He might have added “too weird for the room” — a judgment indicated by WB distribution having given The Bride a new release date — 3.6.26.

..would he have become a proud member of the transgender community, or would he have just stuck to his shoulder-shrugging, cross-dressing guns and let it go at that?

Ed Wood is HE’s all-time favorite Tim Burton film, and the harem-dancing scene [below] is my second favorite scene in this 1994 Touchstone release, second only to the “Bela Lugosi wrestles with the rubber octopus in the pond” scene.

The dignity and empathy that Martin Landau brought to his Oscar-winning Lugosi performance…one of the greatest supporting performances of all time. Seriously.

The thing I loved about Bill Murray‘s “John Bunny Breckinridge” is that he played the character with tiny little hints of “not really”…faint spritzings of camp, a little bit mockingly. It was Murray’s way of telling the audience that his version of “Bunny” doesn’t actually chow down or bend over, Sam Rockwell-style. He just flits around ironically…a kidding-around, old-school, way-before-Ru Paul thing.

Just call me “happy”. Whistling while I work. So delighted that I’ve decided it’s not worth catching tomorrow….Friday will do. Sometimes hate is a warm bath of joy.

Now I really fucking hate it. A movie aimed at money whores who ask “how much does this apartment cost?” Not to mention a matchmaker who smokes? That snippet when some angry dude says “is that my charger?” and then throws it into the kitchen sink…what is that? Chris Evans: “When I see your face, I see wrinkles and children that look like you….where does that leave us?” I kinda hate Dakota Johnson‘s breathy, inconclusive, opposite-of-Lauren Bacall voice. And the guy who says he doesn’t want a girlfriend “who’s over 20 BMI”? Isn’t that atypical? single women these days generally have a 30 BMI, and a fair amount are at 40 or over…right?

A chick flick, Materialists (A24) opens on 6.13.25. Be very, very concerned about a film from Celine Song.
