DAWES!

Bye Felicia.

I couldn’t make it through the first episode.  It was so glacially paced and just knowing there were nine more freaking episodes to follow just killed my willingness to stick with it.  This should’ve been a feature length film.

“Look to the Pop-Tart Elaine. Look to the Pop-Tart...”

You make some good points. There’s a lot of bad improv. Good improv feels organic, so you can’t tell it from what is scripted. But bad improv draws attention to itself. You can tell they’re doing it. It’s why I can’t stand Joe Swanberg’s films, because he relies so heavily on improv for dialogue out of a misguided…

I’d reckon most conservatives don’t even know what a tortoise is, let alone why they should save one on its back.  Let the free market decide!

I won’t go so far as to say the franchise should end or has no future. Far from it. The problem is the same old problem we’ve seen before, the vile contagion of fan service. Of making films that tickle the nostalgia of aging original fans, but do nothing to build new fans, which is how you make a franchise…

She’s number one on my list of actors who have not won an Oscar, but who I want to win.  I really really hope she gets one more, stellar role that gets her that award.

“I refuse to sit next to someone who is considerate enough to wear a mask in public.  I mean, what kind of twisted freak tries to limit the spread of contagions to others?  Who does that?”

I never understood the dislike for Hathaway.  Not when history’s greatest monster Anna Kendrick roams free.

Why in god’s name does this movie cost 200 million dollars?

One of the benefits of becoming an Operating Thetan.

And all the while, Duffy is so oblivious to the fact that he’s the biggest tool in the room. I’ve heard rumors that Weinstein/Miramax had no intention of ever producing Boondock Saints. They just signed Duffy on as a publicity ploy to boost Miramax’s brand. If Duffy proved himself, then the movie would get made. But…

Yeah I was pondering who fucked up their opportunity worse.  I give the edge to Duffy.  Trank at least had a semblance of a career before he self destructed.  But Duffy blew multiple opportunities right out of the gate. He didn’t even make his first movie before his ego and delusions of his own grandeur blew up…

Troy Duffy is the grandmaster of the self own. If you haven’t already, you MUST watch the documentary on his rise and fall - Overnight. It’s the best documentary ever made about Hollywood.

Then Stone interrupts and Carvey says, “Can I finish?”

My thing was it felt like such a rote rom-com.  The kind of film that littered the ground at Park City in the late 90s and early 00s.  If it wasn’t for the LGBT angle, it would’ve been a Hallmark movie.

And boy he made so much out of a role that could’ve been a one-dimensional red-baiting McCarthy-ite.  But he has that amazing scene where he confides in Oppenheimer his own private war traumas, and you get an understanding for what motivates his anti-Communist zeal, however wrong his actions might be.  it’s a really…

See I don’t think we’re missing much without Baldwin and Davis.  Because you’d have to factor in how they’ve aged, which seems incongrous with ghosts, unless you give them a ghoulish look, which I’m not sure would work either.  

Ack!
