Exactly. The real fight is against, as always, the capitalists trying to exploit labor. It’s not the tools at the bottom that’s the problem, it’s the tools at the top ;)

Yeah, that’s a good comparison. I think the main difference is that Buscemi usually projects an aura of anger and menace, while Dastmalchian comes off more as kind of quietly insane.

He was in the In Memoriam segment at the 1998 Oscars, which took place on 1998 Mar 23 (Walsh died on Feb 27, far enough in advance to be included at that year’s ceremony rather than the following year).

Given Crowe’s film choices lately, I’m wondering if he actually did suffer a massive head injury.

Can we be a little smart about how we talk about generative A.I. and its use in media?

Man, I can’t believe how long it’s been since JT Walsh died. He died in 1998. He died before Phil Hartman died.

Did you notice how Godfather Part II is not a space opera?

Just think of the mountains of coke that paid for!

That’s Death. His normal speaking voice is all-caps.

Aw, Memmet! I was always glad to see him pop up in something.

In other news, dog bites man.

They call her Dual IPA because of how much beer she drinks.

“Who ya gonna text?”

Could have saved yourself a lot of time by writing a one-word review:

I just want a Glumshanks spinoff. Except not without Norm Macdonald voicing him, so, nevermind.

I’d submit the following remakes as at least pretty good (if not necessarily better than the originals, but you simply asked for “good remakes of movies since the 1970s”):

Slight nitpick, it’s only been 9 years since MMFR came out. Point still taken though.

Every time we see the “REMEMBER HER” tagline, my wife goes, “Hey, remember her?” and we chuckle.

Part of me doesn’t want to be as cynical as you, but... I would be entirely unsurprised if you’re right.
