I never thought this particular fantasy could be ruined but this is the one time I can't say I'm 100% into the idea of getting sucked off by Madonna.

According to Louis Theroux, the Scientologists were unhappy with him taking roles like Frank T.J. Mackey and Vincent because they aren't as heroic as Ethan Hunt or Jack Reacher, and they're generally embarrassed by John Travolta's roles, so he's kind of stuck.

I thought that was his reputation? If… and A Clockwork Orange are the only two films I can think of where he isn't there for the paycheque or to play off his cult film cred.

72k is only working class if America is in a state of hyperinflation.

Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris have been doing direct to video for years.

Is that why the country is so miserable?

Absolutely. My parents, I assume like a lot of British parents in their late 40s/early 50s, don't believe mental health is real and their big thing was to think happy and if that doesn't work, ignore whatever's happening and just get on with it. Just the slightest bit of emotional interrogation as a child would have

It was never intended to be a serious thing anyway, but finding out the last girl I dated was a monarchist was the moment when the timer really started ticking.

The condescending obsession with making sure the working classes vindicate the democratic process has never been more obnoxious than this year.

What's behind Goldberg's obsession with doing it for the kids? The best in the business have always known wrestling is family entertainment where the money comes when you skew towards kids but the way he talks about it is oddly pathological.

An even bigger bunch of losers than I expected.

It depends on how magnificent they are.

I'd always considered him to be like Curtis Hanson in that he's a solid journeyman who made a few things that particularly stand out but never got enough traction to become any bigger in the industry.

I agree with all of that. I read it a few years ago too but from what I can remember, the enforcement unit was called Breach, but the crime was called breach, so there was a lot of repetitive sentences towards the end when it started to pile up.

I think that if I was ever cursed with a child, I'd want it to be slightly dim because it seems like the bulk of society is aimed at that level. Neither my cousin nor my coworkers are total dunces, but they're close enough, and they're the only people I know who aren't abjectly miserable for one reason or another.

It also says mentions a skepticism about his "polished pop product." He may be a star but Noel's still wary of his actual music.

The kind of person interested in a story of time traveling historical politics isn't likely to stick around for anything more advanced than assassination.

I was reading about how this wasn't initially intended for Netflix release so there were a bunch of songs recorded for the DVD/blu-ray special features, but I have no idea how that stuff would get out there now.

I like how every one of the reviews for this have talked about how great it is while not-that-subtly letting us know they think Justin Timberlake is bad and not really deserving of this kind of treatment.

I liked Wizard and Glass but when I got a ways into it and realised it was all going to be a flashback, I considered myself done with The Dark Tower and don't regret it.
