This went against all Vince's instincts. He hated talking to strangers, and taking to strangers about his problems was even worse. But his doctor had recommended it, and his wife had insisted, so, with immense resistance, he trod into the Bells Palsy support group.
He took a seat in the back, as far from anyone else as possible. Gradually others filed in. Eventually someone rushed in clumsily and all but ran to the front of the room. "Sorry I'm late!"
That voice...
"Vince?" Laremy asked, from the front. Vince slunk down in his chair but there was nothing for it. "Vince! Hey buddy! You got the old lop-sided grin now too, huh? Funny old world!"
Vince got up to leave, but as he did he noticed a strange-looking man in the next row or chairs. The eczema on his elbows was unmistakable. Vince leaned over, and in one movement ripped off the man's fedora and groucho glasses.
"Matt? You don't have Bells Palsy. What?"
Matt stood up and shouted "oh what, you and Laremy are the only ones who get to do cool things? I can handle things, I'm smart! Not like everybody says!"
Vince put his palm on his forehead and sat heavily on the folding chair. "Fuck it. Whatever. Let's get on with it. My name is Vince M. and I have Bells Palsy."
I'd love it if "Wanted Man" turned out to be a prequel to 2020's "Money Plane" and Kelsey Grammar is reprising his role as The Rumble. Don't know about anyone else but I think that film really dropped the ball by having Kelsey mention people paying to see a guy bang an alligator without any follow-up.
Come on people. Isn't "Show. Don't tell" the first rule in screenwriting?
I just said out loud to no one in particular, "They're making a remake of Mean Girls and..."
At that point my daughter cut me off saying, "it's not a remake, it's just the musical version." as if I knew there was a musical version that's been on Broadway or something for several years.
Dakota Johnson had a pretty good romcom subplot in The High Note with Kelvin Harrison Jr., who should really be a bigger star. Chevalier, from earlier this year, was fun/on Hulu. That has little to do with Madame Web, but can you imagine being interested in Madame Web? Even the trailers are like "well, we already spent the money, so..."
Vince, I don't know if your kids made you watch the new Haunted Mansion, but LaKeith Stanfield sells the hell out of a Generic Dead Wife Subplot. A weirdly affecting bit in what's an otherwise generic, noisy kid's movie. Great actor.

Sorry about the Bells Palsy, Vincenzo. As for the Madame Web tagline, “she connects them all”. C’mon, it was right there Sony!
John Cena has had the weirdest hair recently. It’s like a flat top with the most glaring bald spot. Just shave your head, John!
The last great caveman film was Quest for Fire. Actually maybe the only great caveman film. Not sure if Caveman with Ringo Starr counts.

Saying "Money Plane" three times is like Beetlejuice for summoning Danger Guerrero

I am now aware
Don't know why, but "could you do it again, only louder?" really cracked me up. Thanks, Vince, for always being a highlight of my week.
Remember when BHC4 was gonna be directed by Brett Ratner?
