My favorite rom-com is 1988's “Miracle Mile”, although it works best if you know nothing about the plot going in and just see it as a rom-com.

Semi spoiler:

We’ve been tongue bathing Scott for decades based largely on two landmark films that were the epitome of collaborative film making.

You know in Trainspotting when Renton and Sick Boy are having the conversation about great artists who have it but then lose it? I feel like Ridley Scott could easily fit into that category. While his films are still great on a technical level, I don’t think anything touches golden era Scott. He arguably peaked with Gl…

I think it’s probably going to have an Elemental like run. Both were placed too close to movies that overperformed for weeks and depressed opening numbers, but it’ll probably continue to make a decent amount of money over its whole run.

That’s not counting the $15M it took in Wednesday and Thursday, though. And its budget is apparently lower than most big animated wide releases, estimated at around $70M. Depending on its staying power and international numbers, it could end up a decent hit, but it seems unlikely to end up either a flop or a monster…

So glad I never bothered finding out who she was or anything about her

It must be upsetting to you that people have complex opinions and empathy for others.

Sam, if you’re reading this, are you smelling burnt toast?

The AMPTP is eventually going to cave, and then movies and TV will be back, and then nobody’s going to think “the jerk who threw something at someone” is cool anymore.

From the sound of your comment, you don’t have any new ideas or fresh viewpoints to provide.

It kinda does hint at it though. Bobbi St Simone’s daughter Debbie says she had to give something to Jonas Venture that she had no intention of using herself. That might have well been some of her eggs. Both Hank and Dean have the exact same nose as both Bobbi and Debbie. 

Not really, he’s just being Morrissey - twisting Sinead O’Connor’s death to fit his preferred narrative so he can lambaste the media for doing the same. “Her eyes finally closed in search of a soul she could call her own” is exactly how a twat like Morrissey would romanticize a person’s sad death.

No. He isn’t. Because it’s the most cynical thing he can do is ride on her death to elevate his own bullshit grievances about “cancel culture.”

Are you guys gonna review and talk about The Venture Bros movie that just came out at some point? 

Oddly, this is one area and role that imo Tim Burton absolutely *nailed* (no matter how one felt about the rest of his effort), and in addition hewed faithfully to the book, and this casting is a huge step backwards in more than a few ways.

I saw him perform in Philly in 2011. It was wonderful. He goes around and introduces his band, and each bandmember gets a solo. They turned the lights off of Tony and focused a spotlight on the player performing the solo. And it hit me: This 80something year old man is so magnetic, so amazing on stage, even though…

Man, this really feels like the actual end of an era. In my book, Tony Bennett was up there with names like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

::ahem::

Her own fans were the ones asserting their entitlement to filming her concerts: they paid for the privilege to be there, so they should be able to do what they want. There’s truth to that
