Maybe this is a gender thing.  I told my wife the story after reading this article, and she was all “oh, the husband killed her.”

I watched it. It was the Jewish “Argo”. Meh, and I wanted to like it.

The “Vanity Fair” article I linked to above talked about the decline of her career, how she had only worked sporadically since she turned thirty. Odd circumstances for a woman of her talent and beauty.

This remake is probably a bad idea but you are correct in that Tom Hanks needs to go full evil. He sort of did once, when he played Dr. Goose the poisoner in that one segment of “Cloud Atlas”, but that was just one segment of an anthology film in which he plays nearly a Christ figure by the end.

It’s always struck me as rather creepy, how people have felt free to gossip about Robert Wagner for 40 years on basically no evidence. Wood and Wagner had been arguing. The night before, after they’d been fighting, she had the boat captain take her into town.

Is Quibi paying the AV Club for coverage?  The flood of Quibi stories is odd.

Well, clearly any copies on physical media should be seized and burned, and presumably all personal computers with downloaded copies should be confiscated and destroyed.

I can’t really decide how to remember this film. On the one hand, it captured Jennifer Love Hewitt at the height of her glorious sexiness, tight sweaters, tight tank tops, bouncy bouncy bouncy—my God she was hot.

Yes?

I just changed the URL from Slide 2 to Slide 73 to say, what the fuck, 73 fucking slides?  I get it, page clicks, but how many people are going to click through 73 slides?

This is one hell of a list.  A couple of clunkers--folks, sorry to tell you, “The Blair Witch Project” sucked--but overall, one hell of a list.  “Blood Simple” made me wonder what a “best debut features” list would look like.  Citizen Kane.  Badlands.  Maybe Reservoir Dogs, but Quentin Tarantino had already gotten a…

Let’s see, good things in the 1980s.  Cheers.  Bloom County.  Raiders of the Lost Ark.  The drinking age still being 18.

I hope Simon Pegg’s in it.

Both seasons of “Miracle Workers” have been very funny.  And that Geraldine Viswanathan sure is eye candy, my goodness.  She needs to be a bigger star.

The appeal of Doris Day has always escaped me. So vanilla, even for the 1950s.

Watch “Die Hard” and imagine how that plot might work with cell phones.

Why not just smash your nuts with a hammer?

Yay, “Bosch” is back!

Well, as we see unregulated capitalism degrade the human spirit and literally doom millions to die, it’s a comfort to know that 1922 Russia was bad.

If we do have to choose, Lenin’s is better.
