I love this. It reminds me of that clip from CSPAN where they were talking calls from viewers to discuss a body armor shortage in the military and the host had to stop one caller in the middle of her tirade to ask if she was Cher (she was).

I remember when the Pixies reformed and were on their first tour in ages. They played their first NYC shows in over a decade at the Hammerstein Ballroom. This was, like, late 2004 or so. The place was fucking packed and every degenerate rock n roller in the city was there. TV on the Radio was the opener. About 10 minut…

As an audience member, I don’t really care if she wants to silently be anti-vax. If she truly isn’t promoting those ideas of the Black Panther set (or other ones) than it doesn’t really affect my enjoyment of Black Panther. It’s the same to me as Tom Cruise’s Scientology. If Tom Cruise was pressuring people on sets…

“_seemingly solidifying his new status as a single solitary filmmaker who doesn’t need his brother around."

Bill Burr maybe, different style though.

Jesus Christ how old are you

“They’re gonna ban the toy guns... but they’re gonna keep the fuckin’ real ones!”

I don’t think box offices are that affected by industry talk.

I have a radical take, Siskel and Ebert weren’t actually that good as critics in terms of what they rate thumbs up and thumbs down and might even have gotten high on their own supply (and by extension their perceived influence).

After spending his entire career telling people the goddamn future and nevertheless having to watch them all go merrily skipping into the abyss anyway, he’d earned every inch of that nihilism. He’d earned it ten times over, and I’ll never think less of him for being so bitter near the end of his life. He was decades…

White Castle only exists in a fairly limited market, that didn’t stop Harold and Kumar from being a success. 

does anyone ever say anything positive in the comments anymore? or is it always a gripefest.

Gaspar is cool, this looks cool, I’m interested in seeing it.

...with an *amazing* cast.

Working with Mike Nesmith (RIP) must have been quite a drawing card for a bunch of quirky actors (Tracey Walter would later figure majorly in the Nesmith-produced Repo Man).

I feel like new George Miller and new Cronenberg is an embarrassment of riches. Now we need that David Lynch official Wysteria announcement.

Idris Elba as a genie? I’ll take my time with those three wishes, am I right, ladies?

Chuckles in ‘90s stand-up comic.

Mortensen was noting that no one uses the word anymore, unlike in the time The Green Book was set, and in process of making that point said the actual word instead of saying “the n-word.” He then apologized pretty strongly for it. Mahershala Ali, asked about the incident, was unequivocal that it was wrong, but also…

I’ll answer that question after you wait in my office for six hours. (Actually, I won’t answer it until the very last minute, and you’ll have to scramble to find an apartment.)

I was thinking the exact same thing. This obsession we have with paying attention to people in their teens and early 20s is such a social illness. Kids deserve to have a voice and space in society, but honestly it feels like way too much of the visible mediascape is catering to them (and/or to people forever stuck in…

I’m just glad he’s doing well after the cancer scare.

he probably refused to fill out the FAFSA because he understands that no university degree is worth $200k and didn’t want to saddle himself and his son with crippling 6-figure debt before the age of 22. that’s how i read it, anyway.
