The first Star Wars trilogy films are 121, 124, and 132 minutes. If she finds them boring and didn't like them, fair enough, but we're not exactly talking about Berlin Alexanderplatz here.

This is excellent news.

The movie really makes you feel Hank's desire to be rid of him.

To be clear, I don’t at all disagree that representation of all marginalized voices needs to increase both in front of and behind the camera in the film industry, Asian voices included. I just found the contrast between those two statements in the article amusing.

“Considering that Lang’s story is heavily impacted by his lived cultural experiences as a Chinese man, a film about his life should ideally include prominent involvement from creators that harbor intimate knowledge of (or, you know, have also lived) that experience. Instead...”

I suppose Seinfeld could get the same criticism, but it’s about a bunch of selfish monsters...”

I actually just went out to watch it last night. Not inside a movie theatre, of course, that would be suicidal. The Philadelphia Film Society set up an outdoor pop-up drive-in, which was a great way to see the movie. I can't see this being enough to really generate the profits needed for a big budget film, but

I agree that Mandy Patinkin was the MVP of the evening, but I would say Wallace Shawn was a close second. He infused every single line reading with such delightful energy.

Now playing

My first exposure to Dame Diana was as Lady Holiday in The Great Muppet Caper. She was the very picture of elegant authority and wit in what was always my favorite of the Muppet films (heists! Action! Models! That pool number!):

It's been several months. I'm sure the investigator is willing to meet via Zoom. If this hasn't happened, I don't see any way to justify it on Fisher's part.

Just one more thing: me too.

Yeah, they're really burying the ledge on this one.

I always loved Richard Dysart -- who outside of The Thing I only really know as the stodgy lawyer on LA Law -- having a nose ring. Such an eccentric bunch of characters, played by some of the finest character actors.

Just say no 

She’s credited as the writer, producer, and Co-director on several films already. Considering there are rules behind that sort of accreditation, why do you assume she isn't actually doing those things?

It’s not the 90s anymore, but I'm still drinking Snapple.

I like to think he's playing the same bank manager in that and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

I guess you could say she did see that coming.

He plays a very small but also very creepy role in Shutter Island as well.
