Aside from his obsession with how cool he thinks the letter X looks, this is the man who gave the world the hideous monstrosity that is Tesla’s Cybertruck.

Surely it was immediately before that when he managed to drum up an awful lot of self-serving media coverage for building an unwanted and really fucking stupid airtight metal coffin that was very, very obviously unsuitable for the problem at hand. The expert cave diver pointing out exactly how moronic it was and being …

I’m listening to that podcast you mentioned right now. If even half the stories are true, he sounds like a complete imbecile. It does make me think he must have genuinely suffered brain damage at some point —presumably the lightning strike on Passion of the Christ (or some other incident at roughly that time) turned…

Yeah, I’m glad I saw it before finding out what a nutjob he is. Although he was always the least interesting part of the show, despite nominally being the star. His character is largely just a tool being wielded by Michael Emerson to do the physical stuff.

what worked about B5 was that the show would tease some story element and then have it pay off in due course in a way that made sense and was dramatically satisfying

Yup. Somewhere in season 3 it starts to become clear that Galactica’s writers had no fucking clue where anything was going. The character stuff generally remained solid, but the plot stuff was just endlessly pulling shit out of their asses that made no sense.

better than ever in its second season

playing it like a straight romantic comedy and not betraying that it’s a horror film until just the right moment

She’s far too old for the role, certainly doesn’t have the chops for it (her best performance by a mile is in Haywire, where another actress was brought in to re-record her dialogue), and it’s disrespectful because Abby spends a lot of time with a trans character and Carano has made transphobic jokes (which she…

Huh?

I figure there’ll be a bridge season, covering life in Jackson between the end of the first game and the opening of the second. Basically, the flashbacks from Part II, but presented linearly and significantly expanded upon, and we don’t get into Part II proper until season 3.

The previous article has Oher claiming the Tuohys’ deal earned them $225,000, whereas he got nothing.

The only distinction I’m drawing is that if Oher was under some restriction which meant he couldn’t claim financial recompense for his story being told, that doesn’t mean that the same restriction applied to the Tuohys. They were also a major part of the story being told (even if their roles were heavily exaggerated…

Presumably though, even if no one could profit off of Oher’s name, the Tuohy’s could still profit off their names. I mean, Sandra Bullock was the star of the movie and I’m pretty sure she wasn’t playing Oher.

Cut (Park’s short from Three... Extremes) is pretty memorable, it’s the one where the female lead from Oldboy is hooked up to a piano marionette-style, and has her fingers cut off one by one in order to torture her movie director husband.

It’s a great site, I only wish their reviews hadn’t grown so infrequent over recent years.

Although by the time they identified him, the 15 year statute of limitations had expired. It’s since been extended to 25 years and then abolished entirely, in part thanks to the existence of Memories of Murder, but those changes didn’t apply retrospectively.

I thought the QAnon bullshit was that everyone even marginally to the left of the likes of DeSantis and Trump is in on secret child trafficking taking place in non-existent pizzeria basements.

Also, when people talk about the golden age of [insert decade of choice], they’re largely thinking of the good movies (and maybe a handful of notably bad ones), while the forgettable mediocrity that makes up the bulk of output at any given time is understandably forgotten.
