I think you buried the lede:
"Old music outsold new music for the first time ever last year.."
What does the survival of cds as one medium matter?

Fuqua refused to make it. That's why they got the other guy.

Hollywood Babylon is not a credible source for anything.

Re the Hearst connection: You're thinking of Louella Parsons.
FWIW, Hopper's motivations were probably revenge for her decades of irrelevance as a bit player in Hollywood.

With hot indie darling Greta Gerwig. Same difference.

It's still macho nonsense.

It isn't really self-parody, though. It's just a comic treatment of his usual subject matter.

Pairing a woman 15 years younger than her co-star isn't exactly exclusive to movies with Jennifer Lawrence. It's always been a constant, and in worse instances than this one (Love in the Afternoon, anyone?). Is everyone suddenly noticing?

You've got it backwards. The elite get to park closer to the building and that is just one of a number of benefits they have that fuels the resentment of the "lowers". One of the first overt actions in the succeeding war between floors is those cars getting trashed by the lower level residents.

EF was one of my favorite books this year. I think high school English teachers are trying to stuff you with as much literature as they can, for fear you'll never be reading again once you leave.

It's just stupid, don't waste your time.

IIRC, that good song was Tambourine Man, so yes, sarcasm.

She was the most punchable Anne Boleyn ever, which helps.

There are no words.

None by anyone.

No?

She's built a career on mostly good films. These are evidently the payoff years, as an older actress she probably wouldn't be working otherwise, so why not?

Philanthropists tend to have a rather narrow view of human nature.

There must be another film writer going by the name of "David Thomson" then.

Boo.
