Watch & Discern

Film fan searching for the Divine in the stories we tell. Thoughts on #culture, too. Loves #Jesus, my wife and daughter, #movies, #history, and #videogames.

. @Criterion Are there any plans to give #LicoricePizza the #Criterion treatment? I’m deciding whether to get the standard #Bluray release.

Who is the greatest dad on television and why is it Bandit from Bluey?

Every time I rewatch #ThorRagnarok, my score for it on @letterboxd goes down.

There is such a thing as too irreverent.

[Masters of the Nerdom @MNerdom]

Wow! I thought this whole time the show was supposed to be inspired by the comics of She-Hulk.

I just left your state, @GavinNewsom. It sucked.

You kept your citizens under some of the most draconian COVID restrictions in the country! And you still haven’t rescinded the emergency order.

Your cognitive dissonance is astounding. https://t.co/6NVAq3ClT4

We’re about to celebrate Independence Day -- but Freedom is under attack by Republican leaders in states like Florida.

Banning books.
Restricting speech.
Making it harder to vote.
Criminalizing women and doctors.

It’s time to stand up. Don’t let them take your freedom.

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

Or what? You’re going to force them?

🙄

You’re either profoundly stupid or unfathomably ignorant of how markets and the powers of your office actually work. Probably both.

Sit down, Mr. President. You’re not a king. https://t.co/p3BXjS9lVz

My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril.

Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you’re paying for the product. And do it now.

July 4th was made possible by people who (1) feared God more than man, (2) loved their country and countrymen, (3) had the courage to fight tyranny, (4) understood freedom would come at the greatest price, and (5) believed their sacrifice would not be in vain.

Celebrate that.

. @JoshMShep Finally saw #StreetGang…took a while. Haha. Here are my thoughts: https://t.co/GETUjZUIXD

Good but could have been better.

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

The fact that you don’t see Filoni and Favreau’s names anywhere near #ObiWanKenobi tells you all you need to know.

What a pointless series.

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

#TopGunMaverick is both a phenomenal piece of filmmaking and great, crowd-pleasing spectacle. No wokeness, no politics. Just a great time at the movies.

Go see it now…and see it in Dolby. 👍

Don't forget what they did in the name of science

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

Two episodes in and #ObiWanKenobi has already broken several key components of #StarWars lore.

The series has now begged many unnecessary questions that it now must answer in order to be successful.

Does Lucasfilm even care about its own canon anymore? Did it ever?

Hysterical idiot politicians today.

“There’s a teenager who can jump through multiple universes…because, reasons. We’re not going to explain it because you’re going to buy it anyway.”

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

In the early days of the #MCU, one of the franchise’s greatest strengths was its verisimilitude—making the fantastical seem believable. There was an explanation for the things we were seeing. There was also an effort to show the consequences of character choices.

“Egyptian gods exist. No need to tell you where they come from or what broader ramifications this monumental revelation has. Just consume.”

[Watch & Discern @watchndiscern]

With the recent entries like #MoonKnight and #DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness, #Marvel seems content just to throw stuff at us and arrogantly conclude that we’ll just buy it because…they’re Marvel.
