The Weekly Review: May 20 – 26

 

Damn you, Netflix, you’re doing what Blockbuster used to do. You’re changing the cover art on titles so that unsuspecting rubes (like me) watch a movie, forget its title and then, months later — and because the cover art is new — wind up watching the same damn movie. Or at least the first ten minutes of the same damn movie before recall kicks in.

The Handmaid’s Tale — have you heard about The Handmaid’s Tale? If you surf the Internet, of course you’ve heard about The Handmaid’s Tale.

Hulu is showing The Handmaid’s Tale. The Handmaid’s Tale gets nominated for awards and gets lots of praise from critics.

But has anyone actually seen The Handmaid’s Tale?

The good news: TBS might be forced to finally run something other than The Shawshank Redemption.

This news that Tomi Lahren participated in a wet t-shirt contest annoys me. I live just minutes from the Minneapolis restaurant where she got doused with water, so I certainly would have been there if I’d known she was going to compete.
