Oh my money’s on none. People will find any number of excuses to defend shitty men.

I would have happily seen The Fablemans this weekend, except it’s not playing anywhere near me here in Central Arkansas. The closest theater that has it is two hours from here in Memphis. Even our lone ‘indie’ place didn’t get it. I have a rule that I see every Spielberg movie in the theater (yes, even The BFG),…

man was just doing his best to survive some trauma that is so unique to being a child star, that we can’t even begin to understand, except to lend some compassion,

Your deep contempt for children is disturbing.

You sound sane and well-adjusted.

Aw. :( I would have fucked up a Bill Murray if this were my kid.

You're terrifying. Don't have children. You will abuse them

No. You are not allowed to put your hands on other people’s children. Full stop.
When my kids were young and misbehaving, I welcomed other people talking to them and telling them they’re misbehaving (good back-up for me!), but if anybody had put a hand on my child, there would be hell to pay.

I really love Anya Taylor-Joy but I bristle at a suggestion she’s better than Lawrence. Winter’s Bone is better than anything Joy’s done as of yet. 

The blackboard on which they recorded all the ways Protestants and Catholics are different at the start of season 2 is now in the Ulster Museum.

Is describing his prep work for a role in a response to a question about his prep work for a role “seeking praise?”  

Every iteration of this tale left me thinking he was guilty. Maybe he got a shoddy trial. If that’s enough to cut him loose, I guess that’s the way it works. You could probably argue that O.J. had a shoddy trial. He was guilty too.

i don’t think WW belongs in the same category as the other two.  WW 84 maybe

I enjoyed the ‘90s nostalgia well enough for what it was, so I don’t really have any complaints about the film. Not top-tier MCU, but a fun couple of hours. Plus, I’m in the (apparently very small) group that loves the explanation it gives for Fury’s eyepatch.

If you had to Google what TIFF was, you’re probably not the right audience for this site, however watered down it may be now.

Captain Marvel wasn’t a very good movie, but it’s ridiculous the extent to which people have tried to put the weight of that directly on Larson, rather than the directors and writers associated with that film. It’s not Larson’s fault that her solo movie was more interested in ticking off a checklist of “feminist”…

Hey, in the olden days, they had multiple reviewers at TIFF and a daily recap, but, I mean, who needs to review movies at a major film festival anymore, amirite?

Can there be any Kinja comment section where you obsessed weirdos aren’t taking weak shots at the writers?

I glanced over the reviews at Hollywood Reporter, Deadline and Variety and they all seem to have this same theme going on. Looks great. Pugh rocks. But not much there. A couple are a bit easier on Styles.

I always get sad when I see people starring these kinds of comments.
