I agree that NONE of the characters are getting their due here. It’s not just the female characters. The whole thing is like a half assed high school play version of the story. The reviewer has a narrative that she’s pushing, a perspective she is coming from, and this is not uncommon. You should have been here when…

“Goddamnit Coppola! If only you’d stuck with that idea about the kid in the body of a forty-year-old man!”
It occurred to me that, with just the tiniest tweaks (mostly the language and Glen’s weed vaping), this entire TV show could be rebranded as “Christian” and distributed via religious networks.
“Damn it Francis Ford Coppola! Your arty little film will never be a success! No one will even remember The Godfather existing in two months time!”
I guess they missed a trick by not calling this episode “The Long Walk”.
Ed Burns is probably a perfectly nice guy in real life — an easy-going and congenial Alec Baldwin, perhaps — and may be the poster boy for marrying up by scoring Christy Turlington because goddamn, his movies are garbage. Deeply awful, how-did-this-get-made garbage with plots somehow so perilously dull yet absolutely…
OK, serious question here...does anyone, literally a single person in the world, like wax figures?
He was raised by women so he knows how to speak to older females.
What’s wrong with you?
Flight was an unexpected gem. The movie took you through several characters who were well thought out but not married to the plot. The connection between he and John Goodman was also unexpected. It made you pay attention I think; because the topic of heroism was still fresh in everyone’s minds due to similar events in…
I got a very Lloyd Bridges in Airplane! vibe. Doc picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue!
I somehow never realized until reading this that Glenn Close has never actually won an Oscar. That’s wild. I assume that, at least on one occasion, the voters thought they were voting for her but cast their ballots for Meryl instead since - at least for me - they’re the Paxton/Pullman of esteemed women actors.
I was in Malta (where it was filmed) in the before times. They turned the artificial village created for filming into a Popeye-themed amusement park/”historical” reenactment center. It’s a bizarre mini-Disneyland just for this one movie.
It currently has a 5.3 on IMDB.
Something about Doc Brown’s pose makes me think of someone in the middle of a dance-off who’s just heard his car’s been towed.
The “waiting for the pill to kick in” face is accurate though
“... and that’s why short selling is neither good nor bad but exists in an eternal grey state. It’s very Machiavellian.”
The “I’m a very serious stocks guy" comments in this comments section are hilarious.
Do you actually believe short selling is “greedy”? Is that your actual position or just one for the sake of snark. Because it isn’t Shorting a stock is not greedy. However, one could certainly make the argument that certain investors on Reddit have pumped and dumped this stock. Which you appear to helping them do.…
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope? Just kidding. Uh, the only thing that comes to me is that some of the later Friday the 13th’s are actually pretty good, while the first several are not. Maybe Bride of Chucky? Bond movies? Prairies? Lariats? Anyone for tennis?
Commenter chooses to defend a hypocritical rapist who paid off her victim...fuckin loser.
