I saw a trailer for this the other day that gave no indication this was about the Armenian genocide, so I instead wondered why Bale and Isaac were starring in a Christian movie. The tone of the spot definitely gives off that vibe.

There's so much here I have such distaste for: Durst, lounge versions of songs, magic, La La Land, flashy cocktails, Hollywood bars, etc.

You just blew the mind of that one Wonder Twin.

It sounds like a literary fiction novel from the late 90s. Sort of like "The Arsonist's Daughter".

After hearing the recent interview with James Gray about how he can't afford to buy a house, I don't blame any indie directors for taking a pay day once in a while. Just a shame these movies are so cookie-cutter.

True enough.

In the future, all best Director Oscars will go to those who most directly conform to brand standards.

She was never all that great but she did get worse. I'm convinced she died and was replaced with a CGI double for the reboot.

Amused at the thought of Alexis Bledel winning an Emmy and then holding it awkwardly on stage.

Some of my favorite stuff in that movie is second unit work handled by Roman Coppola. Not sure if Ballhaus was DP on any of it or not.

Yes, exactly. Like it's a battle we've all been waiting years to see on the big screen.

I really miss that stretch in the 80s where Allen consistently made movies under 90 minutes. Zelig is crazy-short (79 min!) and works perfectly. No fat on that film at all.

The Wedding Singer. I could see the mediocrity coming…

That's probably the case but I barely remember anything about it because I've buried the traumatic experience of watching it deep inside myself. The memory of that film needs to stay repressed.

Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever.

No, you're right, it's fucking terrible. A good example to not always trust a director's passion project.

Allow me to vehemently disagree!

Oh, I know all about crocodiles. Most notably, that they are even scarier because of their don't-fuck-with-me prehistoric visages.

Got-dang werewolves are a menace to Bigfoot!
