Physicality is really no different than someone doing an accent or a tic. If Redmayne and Foxx can win Oscars for good impersonations, or DiCaprio for crawling around and breathing a lot, then Thurman should've been given consideration for a very physical role that both movies depend on quite strongly. And she also…

It's pretty great that a huge part part of this book, and Wallace's stuff in general, was about his sincere concern over the mind-numbing allure of screens. To give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe it's some commentary on…something?…but it's also someone actually ruining a copy of a book, one of the main tenets of…

I can't remember, were the asides in Pale King just footnotes on the actual pages? I want to say it was way more convenient than the two-bookmark deal.

She seems super well-adjusted and not desperate for attention.

Schrieber doing the Road to the Winter Classic was fantastic, as was that whole show.

I'm a little behind on this one - what else is Mellencamp involved in outside of his own music?

Something about this second correction cracked me up.

I think Chappelle can get in there too, as that's a pivotal component of the scrapped "Time Travelling Haters" skit.

Inhaled flame reigniting within the body. List of things to be terrified of continues to grow.

The image of Thomas Pynchon tweeting is a good one.

Justified is fantastic.

Interesting mix of Oldboy, Drive and maybe a little Unbreakable? Am I reading too much into a nearly dialogue-free 90 second clip? Probably!

Oh, The Fountain! Yeah, Darran Aranofsky. That's also wildly ambitious but yeah, a bit silly for sure. I respect the swinging-for-the-fences approach, but had that won something like Cannes that'd be a bit much.

I haven't seen it since the theater, and while definitely a marathon watch, it's also incredibly beautiful and ambitious. It seems like the kind of movie that, were it made by a world cinema auteur vs. Malick, would've been an unassailable masterpiece. I know Americans have done very well at Cannes over the years,…

Lost Highway did nothing for me (aside from Robert Blake at the party) while I loved Wild at Heart.

Don't tons of things get booed at Cannes? Pretty sure Pulp Fiction's announcement was met with one woman in particular standing and shouting displeasure.

It's certainly not a 1:1 comparison, but the Peter and the Wolf orchestra narration reminded me of the orchestral narration of all the instruments appearing in the symphony in Moonrise Kingdom.

I mean, to be fair, no one saw Now You See Me 2.

Or cocaine!

This x 1000. The lawnmower bit in Dead Alive also made me queasy at first (I've gotten better with excessive / cartoonish gore), but that scene in Bad Taste made me go outside and get fresh air.
