I think the Black Keys are tools, so I wasn’t sorry this happened to them.  The main thing that backed this up for me here is that they didn’t come out and admit it.  But, it’s possible that was because of their management and PR team responding to make it sound like it wasn’t as bad as it is...but now that those guys…

they believe that somebody in the audience managed to signal the answer...I don’t think Carey would say that unless he really thought it was the case.

huh, it’s almost like I acknowledged that about those examples.  Were you also aware that LBJ is deceased?  ...all of my examples have been about not documentaries.  Okay you are right, if my saying that will make you go away then hooray.

I think that the opposite of a disclaimer could reasonably be thought to lower the bar. I gave pretty specific examples, and in some of these cases they have amalgamated characters and given bad traits to people who existed for dramatic purposes or because one of the characters was a bad guy. We can look at the…

after doing a very friendly random roles with the star the same day!

it’s so weird to see Dakota Fanning be the tallest person in a picture

Leonard Pierce gives Nathan Rabin’s future reviews an A++!

“This is a true story.” is even more definitive than “Based on a True Story.” First of all...NO work ever needs that. Second of all...one of the only thing I really don’t like that the Coen Bros ever did (other than The Ladykillers) was to put that in the beginning of Fargo. It is pretty very doubtful that person…

totally off topic...not totally...but too many people have slept on The Plan, the movie they made to fill all the plotholes in the show, it was pretty fun 

and even then, the worst Chris was a franchise lead for Guardians and then blew it on Jurassic (and everything else)

It always does amaze me when you find out somebody went to jail over something that was like $10,000, or, these days $100,000. Like, do you know how much money you are now not going to make because of that? Or when you find out a NBA player got caught betting like $500k or something, it’s like maybe have fun in Europe…

and all Xenu asks as a kickback is a couple street kids nobody’ll ever miss

it definitely felt true at the time, but Ghost Protocol was better than it had any right to be because of Brad Bird (and that Dubai tower sequence shot on imax that I saw in IMAX and fucking rocked) and reenergized it, and Cruise kept his mouth shut about having slaves work on his motorcycles. It’s too bad about Brad…

they gotta put em in to take em out

I think they could just recast Max for each subsequent film or few films but that doesn’t really get at why it’s actually not such a great thing if he has become a “legend”: a legend is a type.  It’s hard to memorably play a type, and then you wind up where the film is the star, or the director is the star, and it’s…

has anyone said “autistic child with a snowglobe” yet?

You don’t gotta tell me, I am pretty sure I saw all three of his bad late period films in the theater, dude owes me some sour patch kids.

for some reason I thought this heavily involved a giant puppet like a Harvey the Rabbit you can see? It sounds, like most things these days, that the series format might not have been the best choice for this? Still, it is nice to see Slumberdick Bumblecrotch still taking chances, which is what you want that Marvel…

that sounds exactly right...except it sounds like the 120 minutes all happens up front.

if it makes you feel any better, I saw a much better band give a similar performance: I saw Modest Mouse at the tail end of a tour and they were so cooked from it that they seemed to hate the crowd.  It was in a GIANT space and the sound quality was terrible and with a few exceptions they played a bunch of filler…
