But it was possible in years past for movies to make in the hundreds of millions while portraying realistic humans in realistic scenarios that could realistically happen on planet earth. That simply doesn’t happen anymore.

Yep. No one’s denying that many superhero movies ARE bad - but refusing to acknowledge that there are good movies being made in the genre is disingenuous at best. And so what if she doesn’t want to make a $200 million superhero movie - no one’s forcing her to. The really off-putting part about her comments is that she…

I disagree. Sure, The Fugitive did well in 1994, but John Wick 2 did twice as well in 2017. Are they different? Of course. But they’re not that different. But they’re both action-heavy movies that drive the story forward with chases, dramatic fights and set-pieces, and rely on real-world settings, costuming and plot…

Exactly. The superhero movies clean up at the box office till but there’s still plenty of room for original films to do well and tell human stories: Get Out, Lady Bird, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, The Big Sick and so forth.

Was it really, though?

I wonder if there were laments about the Western when that genre was king, since what we’re actually talking about “blockbusters” (of which superheroes are the dominant flavor now). Hollywood—at least the movie making portion of it—is competing against tv and streaming. Honestly, spectacle is the one thing it has,…

I think that Jodie Foster is overly-romanticizing the era of a bygone movie industry. Hollywood has always relied on more on spectacle than substance.

I was at an event with Hoda that involved taking a bus from a meeting point to the event itself. She waited in line like the rest of us non-celebs, never complained about the wait, chatted with everyone, could not have been nicer. Very happy for her. Nice people deserve nice things to happen for them.

The Hoda I know would probably hug you. It’s best you didn’t. We shouldn’t take advantage of our beloved’s kindness. But she probably would have. Once I was in an elevator with her and she offered me a piece of candy because she was having one. I kid you not. And it doesn’t come off as broken nice or like insecure…

I saw her at La Guardia once and I swear to god she glowed a little bit. She radiated warmth and comfort and I —infamous grouch and personal space fanatic — felt an inexplicable urge to hug her.

TRUE STORY: I work in Rock Center but NOT for NBC and a colleague of mine had a broken leg. One day she was struggling down the street on crutches past 30 Rock and Hoda walked out to get in her black car. Hoda did NOT know my colleague, but because Hoda is a dream, she gave my colleague her black car and told it to…

who shared a video on Monday of him and a friend wandering through Japan’s Aokigahara forest and discovering the body of someone who had died by suicide.

I’m still just completely blown away that she essentially wore armor, and all the ways that can be interpreted.

I actually think it’s weirder for a trophy wife than for a former model. The women I know who’ve modeled haven’t really been all that well-dressed or even interested in having a personal style. It’s a job, and a lot of people who go into it are there more because it fits their qualifications than because it meshes…

I’m super curious about her foundation garments. What has happened to her breasts?

I can see why they used an inauguration photo as the official picture instead...

It’s like ...Vegas Goes to Tea.

It’s Erdem. A designer that I consistently feel goes for, like, full frump, but everyone oohs and ahs over it anyway.

It’s her shiny pink Princess Costume from the dress-ups box! But - oh no! She forgot her pink plastic crown.
