His willingness to not take himself too seriously and to take oddball/dorky roles make him far more interesting to me than the usual Hollywood star. I’m (very) cautiously optimistic about this.

Try the Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp miniseries for his turn as a reclusive singer-songwriter. He saves friendship with his song.

God I loved “The Nice Guys”  - I wish that film had done better and we could have gotten a sequel. Ryan Gosling shrieks better than any male actor living

Looks like a good entry in the Bumbling Noir genre. I see more Inherent Vice and The Nice Guys in it, from the trailer. He’s got too much energy for a Lebowski comparison, in my opinion. He is a bearded loser, though.

Either way, I’ll go see it. I tend to love these movies that are clearly noir that get broadly panned…

Getting as much or more Lodge 49 vibes.

I came across Smokin’ Aces the other day, and it made realize Chris Pine should try more odd or just plain weird roles*. I’m not saying Poolman will be good, but I’m willing to give it a try.

I’ll reserve judgement until I know how his character feels about the Eagles.

Robert Goulet!

Salaries for Phoenix & Lady Gaga, music licensing, Penguin’s cut, Falcone’s cut, Maroni’s cut, Cosa Nostra’s cut . . .

Do you know how much necromancers charge to raise Astaire and Rogers from the grave?

While Jeffrey Jones was very good in Beetlejuice, the absence of Glenn Shadix will be more missed, who is unable to reprise his role of Otho on account of being dead.

There was, but I think the people who called Joker a “remake” of King of Comedy vastly overestimated how much.

“Zazie Beetz, whose character, amazingly, survived the first movie,”

The first one made a billions dollars, so all the key people’s fees went through the roof. 

on the one hand, this seems to have nothing to do with the first movie, which was a fairly grounded drama without any overtly comic-book elements.

So what you’re saying is it’s about ethics in tabloid journalism.

I realize you’re a troll because you had the same toxic “cancer is karma” take regarding Olivia Munn’s recent health disclosure. Congratulations, it was so fucking stupid and cruel that I remembered you.

She released the photo because she thought that would put all the talk to rest, not because she wanted it to ramp up. That ended up being a huge mistake, of course, but it’s not like she was hoping the photo would spur more discussion.

You miserable cunts happy now?

Once again we have learned that the internet is full of awful people that should mind their own business.
