I just rewatched all 3 of the original films and that “human work” exchange really does stand out as an great narrative moment. Shit hits hard.

Imagine using historical discrimination against Black people to justify present-day discrimination against Black actors on the basis of “authenticity.”

I love Garner. I am ambivalent about the Surfer. I am also not sure they really need to be dragging yet MORE fucking Marvel nonsense into this attempted reboot of a reboot of a title. FFS, can we just get an establishment movie made and not synergy blast all over the fucking thing?

Kissing Jessica Stein came out at a very important time for me artistically. I was in my junior year of undergrad in a Digital Film/TV Production program and KJS was one of my first indie film interests. I was fairly mainstream-minded before then and mostly consumed mainstream material.

she seems sober and charming in interviews, ain’t gonna knock a girl who has been knocked too hard and too many times in the past.

You have to be pretty smart to play that dumb.

I know you’re trying to sound way too cool for school, but you’re accidentally 100% correct.
