Maybe they could pull off a Chronicles of Amber adaptation?

I think Confederate, no matter who made it, was going to be tone-deaf at best, but even if not.... the reaction online from white supremacist viewers would be a nightmare. I don’t hear about a lot of present day Nazis sighing about Man in the High Castle with “ah, shoulda been that way” although maybe they do. But the…

manipulative schmaltz (which I feel is Spielberg’s hallmark, though I recognize I am in the minority with that opinion.)

Malick should have won best director

Ok, I’ll defend Shakespeare In Love winning Best Picture over Saving Private Ryan

Jennifer Aniston and Jake Gyllenhaal made a movie a few years later called The Good Girl which hits many of the same beats, but with a much more sophisticated sense of class and gender. Everyone watch that instead.

Already looks better than Goodreads

evangelical Christians’ barely-suppressed longing for the apocalypse

the weirdest thing was that this whole thing was set in the last two days before the millennium

I haven’t watched the trailer, but judging from the comments... This is too bad. The art looks to be a faithful reproduction of Addams’ work and if that’s wasted on a bad script with bad jokes... well, hell.

Hm. I guess I would have to see Magnolia again to be entirely fair, but... I’m kinda with Cookie on this.  I just didn’t like enough of the movie or the characters to be enthusiastic about anything that goes on in it.  That said, I love Ricky Jay’s narration (but I love everything about Ricky Jay), and liked Robards’…

So.. 12.99? I could actually swing that and not have to justify it by spending hours every day making sure I Watch Things. ESPN doesn’t matter a bit to me, but I don’t have Hulu now and there’s stuff I want to see there that I haven’t. Add to that some Marvel stuff - and frankly if the new content isn’t good, I’m fine…

Lee might get more shots in, but it would only take a couple of clean licks from the 210 pound boxer to put him out.

Sean Hannity will propose an idea to station retired law enforcement officers at every school, mall and grocery store in America where 30-50 feral hogs might show up.

Back when National Lampoon was good, Gahan Wilson had a comic strip called “Nuts”. In one, he illustrated children’s playground legends - one of which was that if you DID manage to swing all the way around, you would turn inside out. If you’re not familiar with Wilson’s style, you might not be able to imagine how…

I’d have to watch it again but probably won’t because yeah, I got kind of a queasy feeling. But it looked to me that the ropes that hold the swing aren’t really ropes, but solid, like rods maybe? Hope so, or else that last trip around avoided a head-cracking, neck-breaking straight down fall by mere coincidence.

From the trivia quiz in National Lampoon’s Beatles issue:

I like to watch Kill Bill as one movie (sometimes over two days, but still). Same with Richard Lester’s Three and Four Musketeers. Both those projects were split up by the studio, not the directors.

I assume QT was so sick of hearing from people who said it was his best movie that he’s never come close to interpreting other people’s work since.

God damn. No D’arcy Carden for The Good Place? How can someone watch her (especially in the episode Janets) and not nominate her for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy.
