I’m sure this is well made because it’s Spielberg doing something he’s passionate about but I can’t imagine a less interesting project than a remake of West Side Story.  Hopefully whoever the target audience is enjoys it, but I’ll definitely pass.

Just via his movies, it had appeared to me that McKay had crawled up his own ass and bought into his own bullshit as a creator. Apparently he’s done that as a person too. I’m sure Ferrell’s not the greatest guy in the world, but wow does McKay sound like the absolute worst.

If I was a a casting director and had to choose between Ferrell and Riley to play Jerry Buss, I’d pick Riley. He’s a much more versatile performer, is better at drama, and even somewhat resembles the man.

“...and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”

Well, now we know who the asshole actually was

Some of us here last week were talking about how this show is settling into a repetitive rhythm, and this episode confirms it. We’re back to sad Kendall again after he fucked up again from yet another huge egotrip again. Shiv continues get punched down on by her father and Roman, but does nothing about it and keeps…

A Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie?  I’m already exhausted.  

... did the rest of the cast appreciate getting the second hand smoke from this? Movie sets are workplaces, not sure what the rules are in New Zealand but in most areas it’s kind of illegal to smoke in a workplace.

My dear boy, why don’t you just try acting?

I am freakin PUMPED! I been drinking green tea all day!

He grew up in a Hot Topic.

“I don’t go a day in my life without seeing someone wearing a Ghostbusters T-shirt,”

Yeah, I was just reproducing their typo, that’s why I put it in quotes.

“My mom and dad are gonna be so mad at me!”

Heather Graham’s character is in the “Stab” film that is the film series within the film series as it goes along.

“My parents are gonna be so pissed at me!”

Character A: asks a straightforward question

What’s particularly weird about the large (and rather clumsy) ensemble is how seemingly important characters float in and out of focus and even out of the show’s “main” characters, none feel indispensable or even truly necessary (beyond Father Paul, of course.)

It seems at some point someone should have at least said “Oh, you mean like a vampire?”  I mean our lead had horror movie posters on his wall... c’mon.

I love Mike Flanagan to death, and think he’s one of the most talented directors working in horror right now, but Jesus Christ, will someone please make him stop writing his own scripts. He’s got two that are pretty good (Ouija and Oculus) but in everything else he does, the writing always stands out as the worst part…

i only care when the new catholic priest is also a boxer.
