It's fair to assume most of the cast is playing about 15 years younger than they really are.

And before they hired Brosnan, they supposedly offered noted tolerant Australian Mel Gibson a bunch of money to star in Goldeneye, which he turned down.

My counterargument would be that I'm pretty sure the rise of ISIS, along with the perception that Obama wasn't "doing something" about it, won Trump at least 100,000 votes in the Rust Belt. Bush created a regional crisis that was impossible for America to fix, and Obama and the Democrats wound up getting stuck with…

I'm reminded of Van Jones practically soiling his pants after Trump managed to read a speech off a teleprompter for an hour without starting WWIII. That's not the bar for good presidenting! The bar is FDR.

That would hardly be the largest falsehood said on a Hannity broadcast.

Brad Pitt doesn't really work with hacks. When he makes a bad movie like The Counselor, the director usually still has a pretty high pedigree (in that case, it was one of the greatest directors of all time). Even Marc Forster directed some quality movies before World War Z. I think Pitt would rightly consider…

I think a good point of comparison is Breaking Bad, which actually had a very similar plot structure, but did a much better job of keeping Walt from becoming the Meth King of the southwest without keeping the plot and characters static. The trick is that while Walt is constantly frustrated in his efforts to move up…

It's not addressed in the dialogue, but the central conflict of the movie is that Alyssa is really a lesbian-leaning bisexual woman, whereas Holden convinces himself that Alyssa is a 100% lesbian who he turned straight with his magical sexual powers. When he finds out she's been with other guys in the past, he freaks…

Part of his exit settlement with Fox may involve him receiving a boatload of money in return for not appearing on TV for a few years and never badmouthing Fox. He'll probably wind up taking the hush money, just as so many victims of his sexual harassment did. Considering his age, I think it's unlikely he ever…

It reminds me of when Trump finally denounced the KKK after a few news cycles of hedging and feigned ignorance. When he finally said the KKK was bad, actual KKK members were all like, "Well, he has to say that to get elected."

And I don't disagree with you — as a father, my experience with breastfeeding is entirely by proxy. My understanding all came secondhand. But I think it's one thing if we're talking about whether Apatow is qualified to explain breastfeeding to the mom sitting next to him in an out-of-character behind-the-scenes…

But Judd Apatow is a father, whereas Lena Dunham has not yet had children. While there are certain things about breastfeeding that a father cannot know, he definitely understands it better than a woman who hasn't had children. Jenni Konner does have kids so I think Judd is still on the hook for mansplaining in that…

I'm surprised that so many people are reading the last shot that way. My reaction was that it was more like the last shot of The Graduate, where Hannah is horrified and full of regret about her decision to keep the baby, at the same moment Grover decides to latch. She's finally made a permanent mistake she can't…

Well, except for the weird Mad Max garbagepeople, who forgot how to speak English only two years into the apocalypse.

It is possible that Leia was always supposed to die in Episode VIII, and all the talk about Carrie Fisher having a substantial role in Ep. IX was just a smokescreen, to the point that her own family assumed she was in it and publicly gave their permission.

I'm pretty sure the phrase "light side" has still never actually been said in any of the movies. Luke almost seems to go out of his way to avoid saying it in ROTJ when he says, "I can turn him back… to the good side." Always seemed wrong whenever the EU went there. I'm not sure Kylo's line really created a light…

Yeah but it just seems like George Harrison going to Eric Clapton's wedding after he stole his wife. The fans may love Billy Dee, but the producers evidently don't want him back.

It's a little sad if Billy Dee keeps showing up to Star Wars fan events without some kind of assurance that he'll get to pop up in the new movies. Episode IX maybe?

All these years I thought I was the only one who saw Speed 2 and Batman and Robin back-to-back. It's really difficult to imagine a worse four hour block of entertainment.

This is like suggesting there's a rivalry between the Pats and the Jets.
