I didn't think it was odd, either. They were saying his antisemitism was Dahl at his absolute worst (which is pretty clearly a condemnation of those beliefs) and reminding people that the awful stuff you say will hang around forever.

He was just like Bugs Bunny, really.

“...and, yes, some theaters—near you. And before trekking out to see a movie on the big screen, please read up on the health risks.”

Unrelatedly (pun somewhat intended), there’s actually a film where Hiddleston goes skinny dipping rather than just narrating it, Joanna Hogg’s Unrelated. Great film.

“Side note: I just checked wiki and “You make me wanna ...” was released TWENTY-THREE years ago!”

Yeah, that’s a great film, and Heller’s direction of it was wonderful. I just brought up Lupino and Arzner specifically because they were directing films in that era when Lolita was written and when Kubrick directed his film adaptation. Nowadays there are a lot more successful women directors (though still not…

Make sure to stretch your calves first, though.

“How has every man (and it is all men, oops) who has directed an adaptation of this story said with confidence that it’s a love story?”

I can’t say what’s in her heart (no one can), but she’s certainly expressed more open anti-racism then Deen has. So, so far, she’s a-okay in my book.

I’m also amused that both Olyphant and Brown had major roles in the Scream franchise.

Not gonna lie, as great as everything else was about this episode, my favorite thing about it was Timothy Olyphant playing the marshal of a frontier mining town and W. Earl Brown playing the saloon barkeep.

I forgot you were still here. You may go now.

For my money, Affleck's best performance was drunkenly ragging on Armageddon and Michael Bay on the film's commentary track.

My wife and I watched Marshall after Chadwick Boseman’s death, and I was surprised by how much I actually thought Gad was okay in that.

Yeah, I dunno, it just seems like the ‘joke’ is that it’s some kind of slam on Gad that the Wisconsin Dem Party hosted a reunion for the Princess Bride cast, but it falls pretty flat when Gad was there and reading for Fezzik.

“They’ve already hosted fundraisers/reunions with the cast of The Princess Bride (in your face, Gad!)“

Eh, I'm not going to say "too little, too late" to anyone getting off the sidelines and trying to get Trump out of office. I agree that it would've been much better to have won in 2016, as by this point Trump has done a lot of damage that will never be undone or will take years to undo. But at this point, I still…

I wouldn't recommend watching more than two of the eight at the most, possibly three.

That’s fine. Hyperbole or not, I don’t think those films are particularly long by any standard. 2 hours is just not a long runtime.
