Nonplussed

Josh is a curmudgeon - to no one’s surprise, surely - but he is in rare form as we tackle Wes Anderson’s take on the Roald Dahl classic, Fantastic Mr. Fox. Much like Ralph Wiggum on live TV, you can almost hear Clancy’s heart breaking as Josh carelessly grouses over a fine film featuring beautifully crafted, cleverly directed, and hopefully ethically sourced puppets.  All research done with Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, and Disney.Fandom.Com. ----- We’re bringing hexy back!

What happens when you take bottle of Dan Brown, combine it with a splash of Indiana Jones, shake with aged Nic Cage and garnish with a withered olive branch of patriotism? A Book of Secrets, apparently. Your mileage may vary, but your goodly hosts are just about done watching a silly putty puppet with bug eyes and a vague air of racism toddle around after Cage’s hairline. - Voight Where Prohibited - Duh-dun… duh-dun… Sharkfest is Coming! https://abc.com/news/cb541cb6-383f-4773-a75c-ff1eac677c2e/category/1138628 [https://abc.com/news/cb541cb6-383f-4773-a75c-ff1eac677c2e/category/1138628]  - More Lakota language dubs! https://ictnews.org/news/the-avengers-lakota-dub-hits-disney [https://ictnews.org/news/the-avengers-lakota-dub-hits-disney]  -   Mudlarking at the Tate https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dion-tate-thames-dig-t07669/digging-thames-mark-dion [https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dion-tate-thames-dig-t07669/digging-thames-mark-dion]  -  Get to know the Texas Embassy https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/The-Republic-of-Texas-somewhat-hidden-history-in-11078329.php [https://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/texas/article/The-Republic-of-Texas-somewhat-hidden-history-in-11078329.php] - Walk on the Wild Side: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ1HKCYJM5U [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQ1HKCYJM5U] - Zendaya is Meechee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx5YqFKjTCY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx5YqFKjTCY] - Saturday Night Live: Miss Universe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0azwTiI-PhQ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0azwTiI-PhQ]  —- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Box Office Mojo.  ----- We are (out and) proud members of the Mischief Media Network!

Yes, that’s right. Sean Connery’s final film. He turned down Gandalf because he didn’t understand the script (that’s right, Sir Ian was a second stringer!) and presumably had the same reasoning for turning down the role of The Architect in The Matrix. And despite the steampunk dumpster fire this turned into, perhaps there is something poetic about his character’s grave being the final shot of the film.  But that’s about as deep as this gets. - Extra Ordinary! - - The Acolyte is doing numbers, to the surprise of no one: https://deadline.com/2024/06/the-acolyte-premiere-viewership-disney-plus-1235961414  - Doctor Who continues its queer agenda, to the delight of everyone: https://nerdist.com/article/doctor-who-jonathan-groff-rogue-character-queer-romance-with-ncuti-gatwa-fifteenth-doctor  -   There’s a Karl Lagerfeld bio series, at the request of no one: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/daniel-bruhl-becoming-karl-lagerfeld-disney-plus-seduction-1235915461  —- Research and references completed using Wikipedia, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Box Office Mojo.  ----- We are (out and) proud members of the Mischief Media Network!

Another live action cartoon? What is wrong with us? Perhaps we have a glitch or two of our own. Truly, there is no understanding why this film got made. Did someone lose a bet? Were McDonald’s and Dunkin’ Donuts owed promotion?
