I’m not interested enough in Bundy to sit through much of this.... But in his excellent book about John Wayne Gacy (Buried Dreams), Tim Cahill talks about Gacy being put through that same technique, of an interviewer asking the killer what it would be like if he WERE the killer. Chilling stuff - Cahill describes Gacy

The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verill is indeed not tremendous, but I feel King as an actor does a pretty good job with his final line.

There is a segment of Creepshow starring Steven King that is basically an unofficial remake of “Colour out of Space,” but it wasn’t very good, to say the least

The biggest clue I’ve gotten so far is that they’re planning on making another one.

I’m upvoting you just for the Ferrara reference. I loved his films as a kid (Driller Killer and Ms. 45 are stone cold exploitation classics) and his films are always interesting. 

I think the closest director in attitude if not in style (although I think that argument could be made by someone other than me) is Abel Ferrara. I really enjoy (if not love) most of Schrader’s directorial out put. I just watched Light Sleeper which while not a classic was a lot of fun; Dafoe was fantastic. I think

Wait, you mean he wasn't nominated for The Canyons?

Ja Rule is essentially just a wedding singer version of DMX.

“So New York City is like another character?”

Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Melissa McCarthy, which was a fine movie that is unfortunately best remembered for how much it infuriated sexist pieces of shit on the internet.

Are you......arguing with someone who agrees with you?

“Okay” is pushing it, IMO. 

I still love that the GMG sites were so desperate to make the 2016 movie great that the io9 review basically devolved into “The comedy is weak, the plot is a mess, and the acting is OK at best, but they use their proton packs like action heroes so the movie is awesome and a must-watch!”

Mediocre is giving it a lot of credit. It was every crappy thing about modern comedies rolled into one. 

While I actually found much of it to be pretty funny, Hemsworth was by far the funniest thing in it.

Ironically, the only funny thing about the lady Ghostbusters movie was Chris Hemsworth.  The rest should have been funnier but it wasn’t. 

She needs some perspective, she was in a 100+ mill movie from a major studio that bombed. So they are moving on and trying to recoup their investment elsewhere. This isn’t an independent art house movie it’s product design to sell more products.

Are we still having a pretend fight that the only reason Ghostbusters (2016) wasn’t a super rousing success critically and box office wise (almost a quarter billion worldwide is no small feet, but with a 140 mil budget, it definitely wasn’t the success Sony wanted) was because of misogyny and not that the movie wasn’t

I mean, Mulaney’s pretty open about his past drug/alcohol issues and sobriety, so the fact that they’re hanging out is probably a good thing.
