I can't stand biopics or rather I can't stand the fact that biopics nowadays are supposed to cover the ENTIRE life of someone: so they were born and then that happened, and then that and then they got their big break, and then that stuff happened and then they died, the end. Instead of, you know, picking one moment in

Thank you for your comments. They're super clear and you articulate perfectly the challenges of the digital era.

Whenever there's a debate about piracy, people always bring up the kind of examples you used, like piracy= stealing a chair. It's a bad analogy imo. Actually (and that's why piracy feels like it's not really stealing to a lot of people and that's why it's such a complicated issue), when you illegally download a

My first thought. Like, no way he's that dumb to have that date tattooed that way. And yet, he is. Was there nobody in the tattoo parlor who knew how Roman Numerals work?

Haha same. I'm like: Eva Green's in this? Damn it, I'll have to watch that stupid movie then.

I see. That's cool you get to have both passports! But I don't understand why the American customs give you so much hassle. As long as you're American, that's all that should matter, really.

Nationality is not something you choose, it's something you are granted legally, either by birth or by naturalization, etc. So you're either American or you're not for example, regardless of hom you identify. Otherwise, I could just claim tomorrow that I'm Swiss just because I feel like it and because I'd like to get

Don't Americans always hyphenate everything? Like, oh I'm Italian-American, German-American, Irish-American, etc. Which sounds quite silly to me because those people usually don't have dual citizenship, what they mean is: my ancestors were from those countries. So maybe this tendency to always claim other

Seriously. Shouldn't the conversation on Jezebel be about what she said about women in films instead of "oh, so she did thank Woody Allen, huh"? Classiest speech of the whole night imo.

Well, he probably wants to forget. And I don't blame him. What a truly awful movie, and clearly, DiCaprio didn't believe that it was any good either or he wouldn't have looked so uncomfortable every time the camera panned to his face in The Great Gatsby.

He never show up for that sort of thing. Not that I can remember anyway.

"And on Jezebel, it weirds me out that she gets tons of praise in a way that feels patronizing, like to over-praise a black actress to prove you're not racist"

I know, I know, it was a joke ;-) I mean, she was nominated, but for best adapted screenplay, which makes no sense since it's an original idea to begin with. But apparently it's a sequel, so it's immediately considered as an adapted screenplay, regardless of the source material (aka their imagination, not a book).

Loved American Hustle too. I wanted it to be longer, which is frankly astonishing because more often than not I find movies way too long. But not this one.

He didn't deserve the Oscar mostly because, well, what did he do exactly? Except be skinny and wear a wig? Meanwhile, Michael Fassbender was also nominated. Like, hello, Michael Fassbender was nominated, Oscar voters.

Spot on. And yes yes on Julie Delpy. God I would have loved that. But I'm not sure the Academy knows she exists.

Middle Eastern nowadays and Middle Eastern 2000 years ago isn't necessarily the same thing. Peoples move, conquer, mix with other peoples. That's what people always seem to be forgetting when it comes to being ridiculously outraged about the depiction of Jesus. We don't know what he looked like, we just don't. Maybe

Exactly, thank you. This whole thread of comments where people claim "well, if you write a good book, you'll be successfull as well" makes me laugh. Because that's just not true.

Just watched him on The Graham Norton Show where he was promoting his new movie and considering I've only watched two episodes of Breaking Bad (and have zero interest in watching more of the show because I can't stand it), Aaron Paul rubbed me the wrong way. He didn't seem humble at all, kept talking about how

Unpopular opinion but I would love for Sally Hawkins to win. There, I said it. It amazes me that she doesn't have a bigger career by now. I definitely don't want JLaw to win because really? winning for what? For being in a movie for 15 minutes? No. Lupita was great, absolutely, but I thought Sally Hawkins delivered
