I had too much to dream last night

Song in my head:
"When You're Young" by the Jam

The newest edition of The Onion AV Club's Commentary Tracks of the Damned: this year's remake of the Stepford Wives. I wouldn't be surprised if they added the The Girl Next Door track.

These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
