I introduced one of the tiny anarchists who live in my house to Mario Party on the weekend. It’s important to teach your children that everything in life is random bullshit and nowhere near as fun as it probably should be.
Greetings from my hovel on the shores of the Bow.
I watched PLAYING WITH FIRE with the kids yesterday. It’s the latest film in the rich tradition of big strong pro-wrestlers being saddled with small children and being forced to care for them and along the way learning valuable lessons about themselves. Your enjoyment of it will likely depend on your tolerance for that particular sub-genre. I found it cute, occasionally pretty funny. I called literally every single beat along the way, but I see that less as a damnation of the film and more that it knew EXACTLY what it was and what beats it’s supposed to hit and hit them all well. Plus, John Cena does the “you can’t see me” thing with his hands at one point.
Just read that we lost Martin Pasko. His work doesn’t get the praise it deserves. He wrote or edited and revitalized many of your favorite DC comics and was co-writer of the canonical best Batman film: MASK OF THE PHANTASM. A true giant of comics and animation. RIP
