Gotcha. They haven’t gotten too deep into the specifics of the end yet. I’ve done a little further reading, but I’m trying not to get too far ahead of the doc series. The last part airs next week. Yeah, it’s way more common than I think people realize. There are these little “groups” in every city. You’ll talk to…

I mean, this one sounds interesting enough, I guess, but is anyone watching “Love is Won: The Cult of Mother God” on HBO? It’s actually incredible. They mummified their leader alive! With glitter! They poisoned a statistically significant portion of the American population with colloidal silver! They turned getting…

Ah yes, the fabled musical genius at work. Reinventing the my-black-friend defense in vain attempt to salvage his completely eviscerated reputation. Da Vinci in profile right there.

Still wish they’d gotten to do Bojack’s final act as more than just a quick montage, but you’re right, in terms of Netflix and how they do business, it’s amazing that we got as much as we did with as pretty perfect of an ending as it had.

True, it’ll just be a little later than the rest of us. We’ll likely already be dead in the streets by the time his private security finally breaks through the “uncrackable”, algorithmically-locked safety doors on his private bedroom in the bunker. The funny part is that there won’t even be anything of any real value…

I feel so bad for him. On one of the pictures he put up on Twitter, he responded to someone’s condolences just saying “I’m suffering” and it was such a stark and bare phrase, so devoid of any kind of linguistic flourish or phrasing that it absolutely broke my heart. Dana Carvey is suffering and it makes me very sad.…

It wasn’t necessarily a criticism.

I feel like Andre 3000 makes decisions in a similar way to whatever led Daniel Day Lewis to quit acting for years to make shoes.

I think, although the article isn’t 100% clear on this, that the “express permission” is a project by project requirement. So, I don’t think that they can pay you once and then put you in a thousand movies for the next 40 years. I’m pretty sure they’ll have to get the permission every time. Unless I’m just assuming…

This really should be the model for everything moving forward. Get creative, unique people. Let them work. Don’t micro-manage them to death in post. LET. THEM. WORK. This was the best MCU project in quite a while and there is a reason for that. Anything else I would say has already been well covered by the review and…

That’s a fantastic pull.

Maybe. I dunno, though. First act incoherence problems like those described in the review sound like restructuring issues. My guess is that those poorly-received test screenings this summer really freaked them out and they overcorrected with reshoots and plot-tinkering. Again. This just keeps happening. Love and…

Yeah, it’s really odd. Seems like they could’ve just cribbed a villain from Nova or Silver Surfer if this were the only other option. Hell, toss in some momentarily hobbled Beyonder as set-up for Secret Wars or some other Starlin b-side character. The bench is really deep when you’ve already turned the freaking GOTG…

It’s still so sad. Tony Scott was great. There’s nothing wrong with making crowd-pleasing films. I just remember people giving him so much shit for making frenetic movies that were generally enjoyable to watch. What a bizarre criticism. I know that it’s unrelated and he had a brain condition, which added to the…

I mean, not that I won’t probably watch most if not all of those shows, but the thing that I’ve always admired HBO Original Programming for was actual original storytelling. Giving creative people a chance to tell the kinds of stories that they want to tell and letting them tell them the way that they want, without…

I did not anticipate beginning my day by reading the phrase “milliner porn”, but I am thankful that the opportunity presented itself.

Yikes. I know Marvel likes twists, but this whole ‘the-worst-Kang-variant-is-the-actor-who-plays-him’ concept is going a little too far.

I literally always forget that he was in “A Time To Kill” until it’s playing before my eyes again. Not sure why. He gives a solid performance there. It’s weird.

I agree. I only mention it because I regularly see people claim that they refuse to watch films over a certain length, and it just strikes me as way too blanket of a rule that excises a fair amount of truly great cinematic experiences arbitrarily. I do get what you’re saying, though. It is a different thing. Using…

I think that the runtime kept people away much more than the content. But even with that being said, and even with being a rather large admirer of the film overall, I have to admit that the first hour and a half was considerably tighter, more focused, and more tonally consistent than the second. It kind of reminded me…
