Uh . . . Gunther Hermann was a German stereotype. COME NOW

I think this is on the money . . . he was going to adapt Green Hornet pre-Rogen and Gondry but basically admitted in a blog that he got overwhelmed and walked away. No shots fired but what were you building up to if not that, Kevin?

I loved her in Man from UNCLE but she really bugged me in Jason Bourne . . . don't know if I can handle her having three movies next year.

True story: A friend of mine's husband works for an agency that does FX touch-ups for Marvel and the week the teaser dropped, she was giggling about how proud he was to work on the "shot that's gonna bankrupt the company."

They're both in it - the point of the film is that one plays a fantasized version of the other, doofus.

You know Faye Dunaway is in the Bye Bye Man? How the fuck does that work!?

Glad to see Bartkira getting some love! Other great Akira-inspired bits of pop culture include Bwana's excellent record, Capsules' Pride, which is music made entirely from Akira samples.

George Kennedy saying "I'm sure you'll… find love, Frank" cracks me up.

Well, don't really know what to tell them. http://i.imgur.com/DSwJEer.gif

Any word on if they got a lifetime lease?

Yea, you read the Rolling Stone profile from when Around the World in a Day came out and he's waving at strangers on the street and giggling about drag racing near his dad's old place but he's also having to talk suicidal groupies down over the intercom when he won't let them in for sex, you can see the impulse to…

Force whose silence? Nate Parker's or his accuser's?

Yea . . . I'm not that even that involved in alumni news from my alma mater and when a student who wasn't even in my year committed suicide everyone knew about it pretty soon after the fact. Parents of students were asking them about it.

I hope that her family is able to find her some peace in her memory, it does not sound like she had an easy life. The reporters that leaked her name with these court details are shitty journalists and probably not much better as people.

And then Parker's defense hired a private detective to investigate her while she was a college student who revealed details of the case to the public.

Regardless of the circumstances of the case, is it wrong to feel schadenfreude that Fox Searchlight spent almost $18 million on this and must be panicking about the hostility of the response?

Me too. Her issue with Ghost is one of the best standalone issues Marvel ever did.

Beats me, you're the psychic.

I'm perfectly happy with them making one of the sleeper soldiers a bald man with dark skin and one a chesty blonde a la Fixer and Moonstone 'til then.

Someone quoted Lipnick's line about his origins earlier in this thread, which is a joke with a lot of truth attached (he's a Jew who doesn't want to get into his roots in Minsk/the old country).
