Yeah, because the AV Club still has some old-timers hanging around who delight in nerdery of the most obscure kinds. Like why using a superfast lens with the aperture wide open in Las Vegas in broad dayight is...not a good idea, generally.

God Forbid anybody should question Zack Snyder’s “genius” in front of Snyder Bro, you mean.

Cough Whitlam, Zack Snyder shot with an ultrafast lens and just kept the aperture all the way open the whole time? Largely in daylight in Las Vegas?

Wait, Cough Whitlam — the “David Lean Lens” is a 482mm telephoto with spherical optics? And it was only used for that shot of Ali first galloping in to view on Lawrence of Arabia?

That doesn’t matter, because Ted Turner did when he bought up MGM’s pre-1986 film library for TCM!

Indiewire as a story on it (https://www.indiewire.com/2021/05/amazon-mgm-wizard-of-oz-gone-with-the-wind-1234640259/) — MGM kept getting bought and sold by Kirk Kerkorian, who would buy up smaller studio and production companies for their film and television libraries. The story says MGM’s library owns over half of…

What the fuck was that?

I think the title refers to Keanu, not Pacino.

So do we all.

I’m not Jesse Hassenger — but, no. The movie’s written to be big and broad and all “HOO-Hah!”, not ambiguous and subtle.

Larry Cohen? The credited screenwriters are Jonathan Lemkin and Tony Gilroy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Cohen took a pass at it, but if so it was sub rosa.

“And he vas a beautiful dancer, too!”

Or have her villainy be a misunderstanding? She didn’t intend to skin dalmations for a fur coat, but...wants to trace their patterning for a unique look, maybe...?

That’s the line you’ve drawn. If you’re willing to stand by it — okay.

I’m not going to apologize to anyone who called me a “traitor” for opposing the Iraq Occupation during the War Criminal Bush Regime — in fact, I’m going to do my level best to show they are the REAL traitors! I’m not going to apologize to people who think showing Obama having a watermelon patch on the White House…

You know, I’ll take PUNCH’s 151 years of steady publication — though in its earliest days it was sharply satiric and kind of radical:

I think most of us don’t really care about jokes from an earlier time, RiseAndFire — because we’ve all said things we wouldn’t say now, and not just as a joke either. It’s more a question of, “Yeah, it was The Seventies/Eighties/Nineties/Aughts. ::sigh::

No, but if I meet somebody I insulted as a younger man, I do apologize for it if I feel it’s warranted.

Murphy’s initial apology was more of a non-apology “apology”, too, with more homophobia thrown in for good measure.

Actually, rather the opposite, Laserface1242 — it tells me the kind of person they are, and why it’s unlikely they have anything to say that I feel obliged to listen to.
