I don't have the day off. Ian, unless you spend all day performing
anti-racist acts and remembering how the legacy of slavery is all your
fault, you should not have the day off either.

The Marvels (Disney+) - Actually, I didn't hate this.
   In fact, Stinky Cheese Larson is mostly tolerable in this one. (They
obviously made a concerted effort to tone her awfulness *way down*!)
   I think Arthur remarked that he liked the first part of the movie
better, where the three women keep switching places (upon using their
powers), and I agree that that was the best part of the film.
   The movie stars dragging and becoming less engaging probably right
after they visited the planet full of musical theater nerds. . . .

I can't read any more. Are they the enemy, or just the enemy of good
taste?
