Dome Pondering Movie Review: Girl Most Likely (2012)


What is it about? 

A woman comes to grips with realizing that her big break in the playwright industry has faded, and must learn to make make the transition. 

Who is in it? 

Kristen Wiig - Imogene

Annette Bening - Zelda

Matt Dillon - George 


Favorite Scene: 

After dining out the location of their father, Imogene, Lee, and Ralph head to New York City to meet him. What ends up happening on their trip is rather hilarious. 

Favorite Quote: 

Imogene: I'm going to go lay down for two minutes, excuse me.
[Leaves table]

Virginia: It's so sad - how long has she had her drinking problem?

Ralph: Like, two days.

Review: 

I stumbled upon this movie searching for something to put on the other monitor as I completed some work that I brought home from the office. Surely enough, Amazon Prime gave me this wonderful choice which actually surprised me. Quite frankly, much of the options are often very, very bad. Again, Girl Most Likely was not so much. 

Girl Most Likely was very funny, and as always, the character of Imogene was perfect for Kristen Wiig to take on, who does the down-on-her-luck deal so well (see: Bridesmaids). 

The characters are what drives this film, and it's worth the watch just because of that. The plot is a bit weird, but the characters themselves keep you invested with wit and some zaniness that's very entertaining. 

All in all, it's a decent watch, and surely above the other options on Amazon Prime. 

Grade: 2/5

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

TNA Slammiversary 2026: "A great show that felt like it could have been epic with the proper buildup."

TNA certainly came into Slammiversary 2026 carrying some public relations (or perception?) baggage which affected the excitement for this event. For me, Slammiversary has become one of those wrestling events on the calendar that moves the needle for me. This is especially the case after attending last year's historic event.   This year, the hype was not there. And ultimately, the overall creative process for the product for most of 2026 was well...plain. It wasn't terrible. But yeeaaaaaahhhhhhh, nothing felt overly exciting. The company had no major storyline driver. And thus, we saw the removal of Tommy Dreamer as head of creative at TNA after being with the company for almost ten years. Much of Slammiversary 2026 felt like it was pulled together two weeks out. And even heading into the show, with the added drama of Dreamer's release, TNA once again felt unstable.  Fortunately, what we got was a great show that feels like - again, there is that perception thing! - TNA is ...

WWE SummerSlam 2026 Review: "Oba is made in the shade" & Roman vs. Seth Captures Magic

I can't say I was excited about SummerSlam heading into the event. Some storylines have moved me, but, much like pro wrestling in 2026, it feels like yet another incomplete creative vehicle (some good, some bad), with the hope that the event itself will overcome the shortcomings of the hype.  Admittedly, WWE could pull this off this weekend with some memorable moments (and outcomes), specifically from the two main title matches and from Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar. Maybe a return or two as well. Chances are, they likely will.  Personally, I have Penta vs. Chad Gable circled. I might be the only one, I know.  Nonetheless, happy SummerSlam weekend, everyone.  --- Random Tidbits Is it me, or were the overall vibes going into this year's SummerSlam just...well, off? I've already cited build, but there was just something else...ah well.  I know attendance is always a discussion point, but 30K+ is still pretty dam impressive for each night.  The stage was VERY impr...
