Yeah, you’re right. (I was a public school kid myself!) 1700 is the current total number including the upper west side campus.

Ahhhh, that explains a lot.  Thank you.

Pardon me, I was off by one. Courtesy of, you know, google: Mia Farrow’s fourteen children were Matthew Previn (b. February 26, 1970), Sascha Previn (b. February 26, 1970), Soon-Yi Previn (b. circa October 8, 1970; adopted 1977), Lark Previn (b. February 15, 1973; adopted 1973; died December 25, 2008), Fletcher Previn…

Dude, Fieldston has an average class size of 1700 a year, and Farrow had 15 kids. Knowing people who were classmates with a couple of them is the opposite of unusual if you know anyone who grew up in NYC in the 80s.  Hell, Ronan went to the same weird little college I did, although we didn’t overlap.

I mean... between Dylan and however you want to characterize what happened with Soon-Yi that’s at least two. And neither Tam nor Lark Previn are around to tell tales. :(

FWIW: as a side effect of being married to a person (and thus friends with a few more) who went to expensive NYC private schools in the 70s/80s, I ended up knowing several people who were classmates with one or more of the assorted Allen/Farrow/Previn kids.

You call that speculation? You are like little baby. Watch this:

On the one hand, “Phoebe Waller Bridge and Donald Glover to star in an Amazon series based on Mr. & Mrs. Smith” sounds like the winning entry in a game of “streaming prestige TV mad libs”.

It’s a fair cop, but “make a decent actor appear to be an expert martial artist” is something that many films have done.  “Make an expert martial artist appear to be a decent actor,” however, is something that approximately zero films have done, at least english-language ones.

None.  Zero.  Zip.  Nada. == the amount of cool stuff that happened or would have happened in any season of Iron Fist.

He was beating something.

This film could not be any more French if it was wearing a beret, smoking a cigarette and complaining about the quality of bread in your city.

Yeah, that part was amazing. Someone on the set dressing crew there got to seriously get their nerd on.

Friendly though the surviving Avengers are with the Wakandan aristocracy, “we’re leaving our friend’s corpse here because you’re touchy about your magic metal stockpile” could have been a hard sell for everyone.

Honestly they might let Vision stay dead for entirely non-diegetic reasons: Paul Bettany is about to turn 50 and while he’s still a handsome man they’re starting to have to slather on the makeup with a heavy hand to avoid it being creepily obvious when he’s not wearing the Vision appliances that he’s 20 years old than…

Definitely not just you.  I recognized the original beige 1541 disk drive from the back (look I’m a huge nerd, okay) and was wondering if they were going to go for the War Games-esque hodgepodge of parts from different systems to make a “computer” but was delighted that someone put together what looked to be a full…

Luckily I think the odds of them managing to schedule both Elisabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany for another months-long shoot are pretty low: film actors usually like to keep doing features lest casting agents start to think of them as “tv actors”.

Okay, admit it folks: you’ve got an AI generating random avclub headlines now, don’t you?
