I know you guys are rarely able to watch every episode of a show, but please watch episode 3 of The Acolyte. The homosexual overtones aren’t light at ALL there. The series should not be viewed by anyone, especially children.

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD: I saw “In a Violent Nature” in the theater yesterday with a couple of friends. Afterwards all three of us gave it 6 out of 10 stars. Yes, there were some imaginative kills, one of which we may have to name a whole new yoga position for. I thought the dialogue was horribly clichéd, but one of my friends suggested that may have been the point, as a homage to the cheesy slasher pics of yesteryear. The endless scenes of the killer tromping through the woods could have been shortened. And the final sequence with the old woman in the SUV? I have not idea where THAT was supposed to go. I’m glad I saw it, I don’t think it was a waste of money, but I’m a bit disappointed, and I’m surprised that the film currently clocks in at 85% at Rotten Tomatoes.

Since “Furiosa” got criticism for releasing on Memorial Day weekend (when a lot of families are spending time with their children instead of rushing to see movies like this, as someone else pointed out to me), I was curious about who would be the box-office winner, between that movie and Garfield, the weekend after that. This most certainly answers that; according to the numbers from Box Office Mojo, “Furiosa” seems to be heading toward settling for a third of what “Fury Road” made, especially with Bad Boys 4 (the previous movie had a budget of just over half “Furiosa’s” and won 2020’s domestic box office) and then Inside Out 2 coming up fast. Oof.

By the way, the Haikyuu movie already made $76 million USD overseas, which seems quite solid to me. I wouldn’t mind seeing more traditionally animated Western movies instead of just mostly CG films.

Thanks for reviewing “Lunch” from Billie Eilish’s new “Hit Me Hard and Soft” album. I hadn’t heard about her being gay, but honestly when I originally heard the lyrics, I figured they were a perspective-shift reference to how a lot of un-Godly men and boys treated her. “Oh my gosh, that poor girl.” (I’ve been in more than one situation where I mentioned Billie Eilish to someone and the first thing out of their mouth is a lurid statement about her figure.)
