Ray McKinnon needs the work.

There’s a certain school of thought that says that racism can only go in one direction, from the powerful to the powerless.

Scarlett Johansson.  Just to piss the writer of this article off.

Bottle-of-Richard-cream: We, the internet, should get to decide who can write books and who can’t.

I’ve enjoyed reading articles about how fake the house-hunting shows are. Like, the people on the house-hunting shows usually aren’t really looking for houses and the houses they visit aren’t for sale.

Boy, really?  Long-delayed shitty sequel to shitty movies starring two past-their-prime actors topped the box office?  Weird.

“Hello, I cut books in half because I am lazy.  Aren’t I interesting?  Pay attention to me!”

“Give Lynch a Marvel film”

“Actress”

In his book “Catastrophe”, Max Hastings specifically references “Blackadder” to describe the latter-day point of view that the war was nothing more than a ghastly mistake, a waste of human life from beginning to end, that it shouldn’t have been fought and specifically that Britain should not have gotten in it.

Lions led by donkeys indeed.  The incompetence of British generalship in World War I was just *shocking*.  They just flung their boys against barbed wire for four years because they literally could not think of anything else.  Except for when they sent the navy into the Dardanelles, and fucked that up, and then landed…

This website already panned “1917" when it was first reviewed--you know, the review that was actually written down in words and didn’t require watching a goddamned video--so we can all probably guess what this goddamned video says.  The AV Club’s review was the only one I read for this film b/f the Oscar nominations…

“For Rife? It’s mostly because it might take away from Little Women’s chances.”

This one is the winner.  Supposedly Rickman ad-libbed that line.

If I was a producer and I knew I was making a good movie, I would beg Gene Hackman to be in it, in some tiny cameo like “Old man in grocery checkout line” or something, just so the last film of his career would no longer be “Welcome to Mooseport”.

“Casablanca” is one of the most quotable films of all time.

“Chinatown” might be the perfect movie.  Just runs like a clock, no wrong decisions, nothing wasted, just clicks along beautifully from beginning to end.

You know, William Fox has been dead for 67 years, and in fact never did run the studio called “20th Century Fox” as he lost control of his company well before that, but I bet he’s still pissed at this.

Oh good, they killed off Apu.  Well done, everyone.
