To be fair, Bill Paxton's already done Independence Day.

The problem is that Bale flourishes under O'Russell's direction. Just get McG behind the camera again, he even managed to piss off Bill 'the most chilled actor on Earth' Murray.

Bale won an Oscar a year after his rant was leaked. Your move, Dennis.

Definitely an actor whom it's easy to forget how many good movies they've been in. In a parallel universe that Vega Brothers prequel got made and was great.

Eh, I'll take the angry, borderline drunken-sounding interview over the usual press junket fluff. I haven't really followed his career but he has a surprisingly acclaimed list of credits - hope he adds more.

I remember hearing criticisms about the novel that all the Thais in it were one dimensional, and thinking 'wait, wasn't that the point?' That's how backpackers see them!

He comes from a writing background, so I get some of that anger. It's laughable how low down a screenwriter is in the film world pecking order, and that's precisely why they've all flocked to TV.

Did someone say 'patriarchy'?? Sexism Bingo!

The behind the scenes doc shot by the daughter in that picture is well worth a watch. A very surreal experience if you're into the movie.

It is. Great job indeed, internet.

A bunch of rich people thinking they know what's best for everyone else and/or trying to make even more money? I'd say the description fits.

I have no time for this band, but they recently slagged of Jay-Z's new Tidal project, describing everyone involved as a bunch of plutocrats… so there's that.

It certainly is sickening, but consider that during the 7/7 bombings in London over 50 people were killed and over 700 injured - I can't recall the coverage being nearly as intense. Boston had its own manhunt to increase the story's mileage, but I think there's a naval gazing to American news that feels increasingly…

I really am the only person that quite liked Huckabees, ain't I?

While the bombing was obviously a horrendous experience for all concerned, I've come to think of it as Exhibit A in how inward looking American media is. To put it crudely, you'd think *far* more people had been killed given the amount of coverage it still receives, though I guess home-grown terrorism is a story in of…

"But it's not made for great cinema."

Any critique that has the word 'genocide' will almost certainly be hyperbole.

How much is Don actually worth by this point? Millions, it seems?

"I'm concerned that the show has done too good of a job engineering each
character's profoundly unfixable miseries, that they all are ultimately
unfixable."

I've seen friends go through divorce, so it didn't seem too strange to me. Even with the best intentions, amicable splits are rarely amicable.
