what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “Part of who we are is dependent on our memories, on where we’ve been and what’s we’ve done with our lives, how the past has shaped us. But part of it depends on how others see us, too. If everybody treats you like a loser, it’s hard not to be a loser. Buddy treats […]
{4/5} “‘If one person vomits in my pool, I’m going to divorce you.’ ‘That’s fair.’” Mystery Men, released in 1999 The Shoveler, the Blue Raja, and Mr. Furious are superheroes, sort of. They try to be helpful, but they’re really not very good at it. Captain Amazing, on the other hand, is a professional. But […]

What did you get for yours?’ ‘The Avengers.’” — Talos & Fury Secret Invasion, aired in 2023 When Nick Fury returns to Earth, he is informed that the Skrulls on Earth — who can look just like humans and survive in abandoned nuclear […]

{4.5/5} “You can’t gestate a baby in lunar gravity — it leads to birth defects. And you can’t raise a baby here, anyway. It’s terrible for bone and muscle development. When I moved here I was six years old — that was the minimum age for residency back then. Since then they’ve bumped it up […]

The two of them took half of it from the Nazis in the old days. Now Basil’s daughter, Helena, has taken it from Indy and intends to sell it […]
{4.5/5} “You three are going to sing like a doo-wop group from the 50s but you’re going to sing about Mandy, who died tragically in a garden store-related accident.” Whose Line is it Anyway? season 20, aired in 2023 Several episodes contain outtakes from other shows — they are funny ones. They even play a […]
{4.5/5} “Pike did his best to respond to Cyrus like an out-of-towner and not an offworlder, but he couldn’t help but be fascinated by this long-lost twin culture, separated at birth and by four hundred very different years. The town’s infrastructure was the work of volunteers using donated goods. Want, when it existed, lasted only […]
{5/5} “He’s a natural magician. Course you can’t trust him.” The Prestige, released in 2006 Borden and Angier are rival magicians. Angier’s wife Julia was killed when she couldn’t escape from a water tank fast enough. Angier blames Borden because he’s the one who tied the knot around Julia’s hands. When Borden does a bullet […]
{5/5} “Small pleasant moments of recognition were everywhere. The smooth oak banister of the staircase was familiar beneath her hand, its satin luster hinting at recent waxing. On the hallstand at the top, an antique washstand jug held another of Nora’s Christmas bush and flowering gum arrangements. The jug was Nora’s favourite, despite the chip […]
