IIRC, this was around the time where the standard villain was starting to move from a brown man with an accent to a fantastically wealthy white man. Or, occasionally, an Eastern European white man with an accent. Although most of those were either Russian Oligarchs or wannabe Russian oligarchs, so still fantastically

Yeah I mean didn’t he know the answer?

This. She’s bemoaning that briefest of periods in the late 90s to early 00s when indies were a cheap way for studios to buy Oscar noms for original screenplay, or supporting actor. They’d just go to Sundance and buy a few films there to beef up their awards slate. But then a number of those films flopped, or frankly

I certainly understand the frustration that indie filmmaking is struggling and that smaller films are finding it ever harder to find an audience.

I feel like we could have gotten to this point an episode ago, which is a shame because the story and characters are now starting to get interesting and the season only has a couple of episodes left. One of these upcoming episodes is likely going to be la taken up with flashbacks of whatever Sol is feeling guilty

same. I think it’s the showrunners inexperience showing.  It’s almost like I can tell what she intended to do in her mind then it just doesn’t translate in the show.

At this point, I don’t really like  it, but if they save it with some awesome ending I’ll be happy. Honestly, I’d have preferred this whole series goal was to set up the villain.

He also seems to have, for the most part, had fairly age appropriate leading ladies. Sarandon, Sean Young, Amy Madigan, Madeline Stowe, Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio, Patricia Clarkson, Joan Allen, Annette Benning and Sissy Spacek are within a few years of him or even older.

This review sure is mad about something. Would I sound like a cabbie if I said “If yous mad about somethin’ you’ll probably do a shitty job.”
Tell me exactly what’s wrong with this movie - or you could show instead of tell. I watched the trailer and I like what it’s showing me, and if it comes to my shitty town (so

Where is the review of Daddio? I’m sorry, but this reads like a college freshman assignment but the most vital part is missing. You asked a question but didn’t answer it. If there’s a Part II coming up, I’m here for it though.

The problem is, its a good concept, with some interesting ideas, that is extremely poorly told in places.

Music industry person checking in: SXSW consistently fucks over performers, and their sole goal is to make money for themselves.

What I really don’t get about these shows like this and Dickinson is who they are for. Presumably anyone who would want to watch a show about Emily Dickinson or Jane Grey are people with some interest in history and would want a show that is reasonably historically accurate. I’m not demanding a documentary, some

It’s surprising for Grohl to be throwing such obvious shade Swift’s way, first because he’s clearly aware of the consequences of “the wrath of Taylor Swift,” and second because the pair have always been friendly in the past.

Truth? The new ownership loved the original incarnation of the site, and the current editors believe in the concept of “standing on the shoulders of giants.” They’ve endured the G/O era, they’ve got good writers who were stymied by the requirements placed upon them by the previous ownership, and I truly believe that

Sorry, but this season of True Detective rapidly went downhill after the first episode.

The baddie will end up being Qimir or one of the sisters that supposedly died.

This episode was pretty lame to be honest. The short run time kills it, which is a problem across multiple D+ shows. It’s rather drab for the first 25ish minutes with some wooden acting and dialogue and then when business finally picks up, they end the episode. But it feels more like a cheap and cliched tactic than
