Ironically, the story from RT is that Hackman was a royal piece of shit to Anderson --- and it was Murray who stepped in and told Gene off. 

So the reason why Batgirl can’t be shown is because it was written off as a loss and chucked in the bin since they’re not allowed to make any money off of it. If this is part of that same scheme, how are they allowed to shop it around? I thought this might be just sloppy AVClub reporting, but Deadline says virtually…

I love the story about when he was playing Sauruman in LOTR he complained about a scene where a character gets stabbed in the back and screams. “Someone stabbed in the back doesn’t scream; it’s impossible because their lungs collapse. That’s why we did it in the war in the special forces!”

“George Washington is a very common name - how was I to know you were talking about THAT George Washington?”

Yes, fool me for assuming that everyone knows that Michael Jackson, one of the most famous people in history, very famously died in 2009. He is so famously dead, in fact, that in your other comment you indicated that your knowledge of said death helped you identify which of the doubtless millions of potential "Michael…

If “Michael Jackson” is such a common name why didn’t you just assume that he was another, non-famous Michael Jackson who is also dead? Besides, there are plenty of ways of indicating that he was *that* Michael Jackson, without appending a superfluous "late."

Cousin Larry busted up his nose or something on Perfect Strangers. Apparently Balki ain't shit. 

“20 days after her divorce, Lisa Marie and the late-Michael Jackson eloped in a 15-minute ceremony in Las Vegas.”

It depends on person to person. Being in a situation like that, where your body is in self-defense fight or flight mode, can rewire parts of your brain due to the stressors you experience. A soldier goes into a war zone and has a bomb go off twenty feet away, killing everyone else on the squad, just once, but that’s a…

I mean, wasn’t it obvious that Christopher Lee was a vampire given how many vampires he played? That’s how you can know what an actor is like offscreen — look at who they play. It’s not like acting involves pretending to be different from how you are or anything.

“Oh thank Christ, someone dug up an old story about a celebrity being a piece of shit, now I don’t have to write a review for at least another week or so”

I mean, at least Dan Aykroyd was in a Digital Underground music video.

I think AV Club loves hearing that a beloved icon might not be a great person; it’s easy content and they don’t have to, like, think about movies

I watched the entirety of Demon Winds in the theater. It was a surreal experience. 

Well, let some people enjoy some things. But definitely hop in a thread to talk about what YOU don’t like. That was the missing piece of discourse here! You nailed it

“There’s no way a restaurant like this is doing 100 covers a night.”

“The problem is how to pay [the employees] enough to afford children, a car and a house in the suburbs.”

I am disappointed that they didn’t just make a few calls and write a few checks and get the true legends in the field. I am sure Joel and the bots(or Mike or Emily or if you really must, and the one most likely to do it,  Jonah) would have been game

Write in vote for the real long shot: Scytale.

Yup. Lea Seydoux is playing Margot Fenring but I can’t find any announcement about Hasimir at all.  If the Lady is in it, her husband probably is too.
