"It's more like, he made money, and it didn't make him a happier person or anything."

I find this incredibly hard to believe considering Goldie Wilson is presented as a lowly black servant sweeping floors and cleaning up after white people in 1955 but becomes mayor in 1985, a positive progression of a minority… clearly this shows Zemeckis and Gale were racially conscious people and I highly doubt…

I always attributed the money thing to pure visual mechanics and storytelling necessity. They needed to show a massive change in the McFly family… behavior is one way to do it (George being more confident, having better chemistry with Loraine), but showing that they've been physically altered as well (better…

JLaw is getting $20M for her next film, Passengers… her mega co-star Chris Pratt is getting $12M.

Everybody's quote is wildly different depending on their agent's negotiating skills and status. Especially if this male co-star was an "oscar winner" like the article said, they would definitely getting paid more, because she's never won (unless I'm mistaken). The entertainment business is not the tech industry and…

when i said "stakes", i meant things you actually care about. so far i don't give a damn about anybody this season or the murder they're trying to solve. either because they're miscast or just not able to sell the dialogue/character and the general limpness of the narrative… there doesn't seem to be that spark that…

the next ep will probably be a flashforward, months or years after the disastrous shootout, with the 3 dicks having lost their stripes and needing to band together to take down whoever was behind it in TRUE detective fashion.

the shootout in S1 was better because there were actual stakes. Cohle had to escape with the guy he had been conning the whole time in order to get his next lead in the case, and they were smack in the middle of enemy territory… there was an actual plan that could've backfired… S2's shootout was just a shootout that…

really shows you what an important difference correct casting makes.

it's actually better than most of the crap on TV… it's just not as good as the now legendary season 1, so it's automatically "terrible", "mediocre", "lackluster", etc.

It's harder to get smaller films made when you're a name filmmaker or actor. Any schlub in Wisconsin can buy a $1,000 digital camera and shoot a backyard movie with his loser friends, sure, but those are usually pieces of shit, and even if they're decent, they wont be able to distribute it. If you're somebody like…

Actually there was a time when good films actually made the most money. Look at the top grossing films of the year from 1973…. 1) The Exorcist 2) The Sting 3) American Graffiti 4) Papillon 5) The Way We Were. Before the blockbuster era, top grossers were usually quality films. Today, the top grossing films of the…

lol

Ted Levine.

Ralph…SIT DOWN!

scorcese has always displayed an enthusiastic fascination with his subjects, it's one of the hallmarks of his work and gave the film an added dimension beyond "Wallstreet scumbags are bad"… we already know that. you don't need someone to convince you getting stoned to the point of almost dying, punching women and…

Because a certain contingent doesn't understand satire doesn't mean you should stop making it. They're morons, and shouldn't be dictating what artists do. Also, Wolf was pretty much a (slightly exaggerated) biopic of Belfort and that era, so what other way is there to portray a hedonistic sociopath and his…

the film was a great way of weeding out people you probably shouldn't be friends with.

On the one hand, I see your point, on the other, context is important here. Blacks are getting tired of the N word and its disgusting, parasitic foothold on the nation with all the ugly discrimination it attracts, and it's continual popularity in runaway hit video games isn't helping. Yes, it's used by inner city…

it just speaks to a generation's inability to decipher subtext and subtleties and understand anything complex. it's like they walk around with only one eye open.
