Clueless. I thought of it for years as a chick flick for teen girls, then finally I saw it and realized how charming, smart, and funny it was.

And Kyle MacLachlan as Paul. So what if he’s 62?

In a timeline where people who get hung up over trivial shit don’t exist, Villeneuve could have cast Stewart as Gurney again, and everybody would have loved it.

If it doesn’t have Sting in a winged Speedo, it ain’t Dune.

“The Emperor gives stewardship of the dessert planet Arrakis to Duke Leto, home to the colonized Fremen and the only place to mine Spice”

No, “Doon” was the “dessert planet” in a lame National Lampoon book parody whose only funny part was the glossary. “Dune” is a “desert planet”.

No Sting?!   (sorry)

Does the world need another Marilyn Monroe biopic though?

I’m not super strongly motivated to defend Tarantino as a writer, I think his strength is more in directing, but if you think his writing is outright “terrible” then it’s all the more impressive that he makes his scripts work so well in his capacity as a director.

Let’s face it, the guy’s a real heel.

Why was this a story deemed worthy of coverage when Andrew Dominc’s fight for creative control with Netflix wasn’t reported here at all? His Marlyn Monroe biopic is was pulled from festivals by Netflix for being an NC-17 art film and not the Oscar friendly crowdpleaser they were hoping for. Netflix built it’s Originals…

Yeah, even Louis CK didn’t get anywhere near as much vitriol as this, and dude’s an actual sex pest.

People really piled on him for this. I saw it everywhere. I don’t understand that. For me, the story is very clearly indicative of his mother being a toxic figure in his life.

So she’s allowed to be shitty to him because he owes her for the privilege of being born?

You know what’s perverse? Using perverse as a verb is perverse.

I think folks confuse ‘no mommy Cadillac’ for ‘no love or support at all for this woman’. I remember getting my very first paycheck from my very first adult job and being really happy about it and wanted to take my mom out as a celebration/general ‘thank you’/low wage Caddy. Heard her quite loudly and obviously…

If by sarcastic, you mean cruel, mock and threatening, totally!

Goddamn right. Good. Belittle someone, don’t expect shit ever from them. 

Found the entitled parent.

An important lesson. Learn to keep your goddamn mouth shut sometimes.
