What in blazes in a Wimbley Woo and how does that relate to a Dingly Dell? No, this isn’t some kind of … er … adult discussion. (My Dingly Dell is just fine, thank you.) But it’s pretty sad when I was able to accurately determine where (geographically) Wimbley Woos are from. Otherwise, Redbox and Disney continue their squabble, a whole crapload of trailers have come out because of that sportsball thingy, and that Ultra HD Blu-ray might not be as good as you think.

I don’t watch movies that are DCP only, even when they come out on home video. I just don’t. But even with that being said, I have to ask the question, WHY IS THERE NOT A SEQUEL TO THE 1987 CLASSIC “SPACEBALLS”? Seriously. It would be dcp only most likely, but it would still give me a little tiny bit of a smile to know that it exist.
One thing I’m glad about ( the deployment of traitor-vision (dcp) ) is not having to watch superhero movies anymore. I’m sick of them, even though I tried to go see Justice League in 70mm just to find out they had it only a short while and it’s gone.
I still am tracking my Film in the theatre series, I’m up to 180 something. My plan is to have some kind of presentation to this stupid industry, showing all the films I’ve seen on FILM. Why yes, there is a tinny demand for this sort of thing. Trouble is, it’s hard for me to care anymore. I’m like a bitter old ex-Concord pilot, who non-stop thinks about how they will never fly again, and how everything sucks now. Emphasis on the suck.
