It seems that, like the Adam Sandler bemoaner, he took the challenge as an "If I could turn back time" exercise. That is, if AS hadn't made the better movie, he wouldn't have made alll the worse ones. If Ellen Cleghorne hadn't gotten a homogenized sitcom that didn't show her talents she'd have honed her skills on SNL…

I loved that JA used the premise to focus attention on the loss of a promising actor instead of giving extra attention to the some forgotten ratchet or lame song or one of the best of often excoriated movies(yes I remember the horror of having to wait in line at the bank while an Adam Sandler movie played loudly,…

Well I was "just a girl" back then and totally identified with EB, because I did jazz dance & trusted people. It seemed realistic to me at the time—-a cautionary tale. Back then I didn't know about old classic movies like "All About Eve" and "A Star is Born," and haven't watched any of the three in years, but aren't…

The cheesy jazz routines In ShowGirls were not only fun at the time but reemerged as the sububan pole dancing craze of the 2000s & is actually much less porny than this year's "stage" solos on SYTYCD!

Maybe the mad scientist & his hypnotist c0-commander picked teenage versions of themselves: awkward, bright not so popular guys and pretty manipulative girls, mostly white,with a sprinkling of Asian & two Black kids. No accident that it looks like an Anglophile prep school. Maybe they picked the most…

I think by the time I first heard it on the radio nobody knew what it meant any more—I certainly didn't because I'd never heard anyone use the word that way in real life or read it in a book either. Wonder tho if it got played on white radio back when it first came out or was quietly banned?

But he does this herky jerky mannerism thing when he's alone talking to a man, which reminds me of his foppish portrayal in GOT. Then with his emotional harem he is all seductive foreplay & macho control. When he's herky jerking it's comedic & even his face is unattractive.

British actors doing New York accents are pretty awful, too. and whatever accent DD's old partner had was so far from any Los Angeles accent——more like an east coast gangster/tough guy movie from the 40's. Back then many LA cops were white male "native Californians" by which was unironically meant, born in the state…

"Good Golly Miss Molly/Sure like to ball/Whenshe's rockin and she's rolling/Can't hear her Momma call."

"Balling" was i think an even cooler older term & just what a jazz musician's son would have said, especially one who considered himself cool enough to banter with Negros in the course of his job. "Good Golly Miss Molly, Sure Like to Ball" probably couldn't be played on white radio back then, even tho most white folks…

I watched two, and both were very predictable, heavy-handed & lacking suspense. No incentive to see what happened next. Nice set decoration & some good settings, not the usual palm tree shots of LA, but I only watched the second in hopes it would be better. GOT or even Criminal Intent(will Detectiv Goren implode?)…

??? but who's been not hibernating & with the resources to mint up to date coins?? You never see anything being produced/manufactured in the town/by the townspeople. All the occupations we have seen are make-work service or office jobs. If new products/items are being produced, they would have to come from a place…

Wonder who did the captioning tho—accuracy varies wildly from show to show. If not provided by the show, it could be "distant creatures on the other side of the fence" or "faint animalistic noises" as easily as "house pets on the other side of town." As Ben's handler told him,"It's not a very big town," and I don't…

None of the pines in town look all that wayward.

Or maybe the people outside the gates?

"Do you eat meat?"

Very clever—when Beverly originally said "there are no crickets" I only got the wink wink, that sound you hear is electronic surveillance—look at the devices all around us. But for sure part of the indoorish Hollywood movie set vibe of WP comes from the fact that no one does any of the typical nature related…

Banksy's only enrich the lucky property owner.

"because they're already dead"?

Remember he claimed it happened about 4 plus five ish years ago, and it could have been much longer. Ethan thinks Carla disappeared weeks ago, but she's been living there for years in Wayward Pines Time.
