The reason for Sondheim’s cameo is actually pretty obvious, and was stated repeatedly by Rian Johnson when Knives Out (which features Daniel Craig singing a few bars from “Losing My Mind”) was released. Sonheim co-wrote with Tony Perkins the script to The Last of Sheila, a whodunit which was an influence on Knives…

And Harley Quinn is also on the same service.

Dalton is 76 now, weird as it seems. They had already basically completed Caulder’s arc, but it would be stupid not to leave the door open for the character to return and to work with an actor of his caliber. He never really wanted to be involved in a full capacity for something longterm (in the credits, he wasn’t…

She’s basically replacing Timothy Dalton, who refuses to move back to the US until the pandemic is totally over.

Sorry, English is not my first language. Combing through, I guess...

Oswalt has also been married for five years to Meredith Salenger, who’s Jewish, and has worked regularly with a ton of Jewish comedians during his entire career.

Which got us this answer by Patton Oswalt.

Looking back, it’s quite obvious why Donald Glover wanted to leave even when Dan Harmon (and especially when) Dan Harmon returned. Outside of the fact he was already developing Atlanta, of course.

Yeah, no straight actor would be willing to star in a parody of Brokeback Mountain...

Nathan Fielder was credited as a writer on one episode of “Who Is America”, the Sacha Baron Cohen show where he had come up with new characters. He was most likely involved in the sketch where the clueless liberal character shows up at a town hall meeting in Arizona to announce that the place is about to get a lot of…

Just because the first thing that pops out when you search on IMDb is an “It’s Always Sunny on Philadelphia” thumbnail in both cases doesn’t mean that they’re properly qualified as “It’s Always Sunny alums”. Both actors have indeed appeared on the show, and even play beloved recurring characters (Uncle Jack, Charlie’s…

It can be a major problem if Wilde chose during editing the takes that made Styles look good or competent, even when these were later takes, out of dozens, while Pugh was starting to get exhausted at this point and would have been better served by an earlier take. This can be a major bone of contention on a set,…

Amy Irving actually married Spielberg in 1985, one year after Temple of Doom was released. They dated in the seventies, then had a breakup, which reportedly cost her the part of Marion in Raiders. Then they reunited around 1984, had a child together and married. If Spielberg had some fling with Capshaw during…

Hey, the current AV Club editors are patting themselves on the back for the good taste of changing the original headline about “Olivia Wilde, Florence Pugh reportedly got into a cat fight”, and removing an entire paragraph about the look of delight from the male crew while the two broads were ripping clothes from each…

Dude, there’s a major misspelling in your post. It’s “would of been a better show”.

It’s weird that this Doctor Sleep sequel concept reads so much like a Shining prequel.

It may have been an improvement, but Lord and Miller made the major mistake to try to outwit people who were in a position of authority, and actively involved in the project. I love some good old “Nerds vs Jocks” story, my sympathies would go to the underdog, but, if the June 2017 story in Vanity Fair or the March…

I’ll tell you something that shocked me, even if JJ Abrams had been given the unenviable task of wrapping up the main plot of the Star Wars movie for good with something like 18 months to put together a whole film due to Colin Trevorrow (whose ideas were actually more interesting, even if it pains me to acknowledge…

Her job is to preserve the franchise and the brand. Lord & Miller are great when it comes to repurposing “intellectual properties” that have no actual reason to exist on the screen. There were no real expectations about a film version of 21 Jump St. or a Lego movie, so they had every opportunity to make something out…

Hey, that’s quite a low bar. Seeing the prequels was about as joyful as having a mandatory routine health checkup. And The Rise of Skywalker was one of my most miserable experiences with a blockbuster. It looked like something designed to entertain a 4-year-old kid with ADHD by shifting the attention to a new planet…
