Reading that took 5 days off my life.

Same, I actually thought the trailer was a joke ad for sneakers and not a trailer for an actual movie.

I mean, Hollywood looked at the story of the Williams sisters and thought the most interesting part of their story was their dad.

“that’s when you walk away from the job not ask the job to change itself...”

I’d just like to take a moment to appreciate the sheer egocentricity of Logan deciding that none of his kids are worthy successors, so he may as well just start making another one at the ripe old age of 80. That man is convinced he’s immortal.

The one huge thing Elden Ring did to make the whole experience open up for me personally was to make it much less of a hassle to get back to bosses when you die. There are still some annoying ones, like Rennala, but they really committed themselves to not making you spend minutes running back to a boss room when you…

A little bit too early on the "The Tide is High" chorus there, Gene. Not moving on yet!

I think the problem is trying to define some movies as “art” or “cinema”, which lets be real, if it’s a movie, its art and cinema. Some can be terrible art and cinema but all counts. 

“No one tried to get Netflix to pull The Irishman or convince Amazon to stop selling Goodfellas DVDs.”

So you didn’t watch my TikTok where I buy up all the Hugo DVDs left in existence and light them on fire?

I’m picturing a scenario where Barry doesn’t want to leave prison; there’s a relative peace there (especially since he can protect himself as necessary) where he will no longer have to make decisions or hide who he is, and if the prison has some sort of theatre rehab program (like in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend or Muppets…

The idea of Barry and Fuches begrudgingly teaming up yet again to escape prison sounds tantalizing. 

That reminds me of the scene in the first season of The West Wing when Leo’s wife was leaving him because he prioritized his job over his home life.

I mean, I kind of get it, but I also think Jennings’s take illustrates a central challenge with the discussion itself. Before anything I think the show’s ending is really bad, I just also don’t think there was a good ending available. The show essentially wrote themselves in a corner by deciding, I’d argue correctly,…

And in a similar respect, how that one idea might be so appealing that a moment removing that idea actually kills the appeal of it.

Yeah, that was a problem. I remember one area where I kept on getting into fights with a way overpowered bird robot that was almost impossible to beat until you were at a higher level.

Obviously haven’t read Butler’s book so I don’t know how he goes about parsing this, but there seems to me a huge difference between Method as it was developed - an approach to preparing for a performance and actually delivering it, which as this review describes split into the differing philosophies of Strasberg,…

Thing is, it doesn’t seem like he wants his career back, it seems like he wants his godhood/worship back. He thinks he’s a good guy deserving of that level of esteem, so he just needs to prove it and clear the record and everyone will come flocking back, I think? He doesn’t really seem upset about the lack of work/job…

People quickly moved on from the pandemic even as it still rages, but will never move on from obsessing over celebrities they hate.

If he kept his head down continued to work on shows like The Nevers, I would given his future work a chance. But this interview.. wow, I mean... its going to be at least 3-5 years before he has anything on a reputable streaming service. He might have to wait a whole year before roku tv or IMDb TV answer his phone…

Oh god this is so true.
