“The only good takeaway” is objectively false here. Without this absolute flailing trash inferno of a movie, we wouldn’t have Lindy West’s* poetically savage and savagely poetic takedown of it, and frankly, our lives would be all the poorer. Do I revisit this review every so often just to bask in the reflected glow of

Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich, Malkovich?

You think that's weird? My closet has a secret portal into the head of John Malkovich! 

Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, and Eduardo.

The Baldwin’s have had like six kids in 4 years and Bindi Irwin has been pregnant with her first child going on two years now. That's how it seems when I look at People at least.

Satan has already come out publicly denouncing any association with the Republicans, making it clear that even they have standards.

There is no professional diversity in our politics, like in some countries where people from different sectors of the private and public sector go into office. We end up with mostly lawyers taking office. It always amazes me we trust so many lawyers with: disaster management, public health policy, infrastructure,

Some of those smarts went toward self-preservation, which is why they never ran for office.

Smart people don’t have a chance in hell in the GOP.

Unless Satan himself runs I’m pretty much expecting this to be what we get.

I have to say, she always looked a bit older than she was. I was kinda blown away when I learned she was only 24 at the start of X-Files.

I was expecting a totally different movie based on the trailer and posters. I was like "wait wtf that's how it ends :/" right until the credits rolled lol

She doesn’t cure him. That’s the point.

Did he ignore Ronan because he’s actually Frank Sinatra’s son? The photos of them side by side lend credence to the theory IMHO.

“The boy might not be my son? Better start fucking his sister and leaving close-up polaroids of her spread pussy in the children’s therapy room!”

It wouldn’t surprise me. According to Mia Farrow, Soon Yi had learning disabilities, and a pretty horrific early childhood that likely caused psychological problems as well. Those would have made her susceptible to the grooming overtures of a pedophile, especially one that had a custodial role in her life.

Adrien Brody worked for Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. Go figure.

You just sent me down a 3+ hour wormhole of Orson Welles interviews. Time well spent. 

Also, Allen’s movies are boring, contrite, overwrought, and pedantic. I have no idea why everybody puts him on his pedestal.

The comment about “Woody Allen the steamroller” (as opposed to the public image of Allen as a neurotic) reminds me of how Orson Welles absolutely pegged him for what he always was decades ago.
