Caitlin Doughty has a great video about this whole thing for anyone interested in the real story:

He was good in Blow, I loved his bit in Nice Dreams.

“I tell you what.”

I don’t know about you, but I appreciate when a review lets me know not to take it seriously really early on like that.

Huh. I had no idea that “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” was abysmal. You’d think I would have noticed that when I watched it. 

People are always saying we’re in the end times, but it Never. Fucking. Happens.

Am I the only person alive who actually kind of enjoys watching Bob Hoskins and Jon Leguizamo drunk on scotch running around in dino-blade-runner New York while Dennis Hopper sleazes around harder than he’s ever sleazed before? I get that it wasn’t an appropriate Mario Brothers adaptation, but I still think... it’s..…

I frankly wished they had had David be antagonistic only because he saw Joel and Ellie as threats and was pushed to his limit by Ellie being violent. Revealing that he’s a moustache-twirling pedophile reduced it to the level of “good guy kills bad guy.” Imagine how much more powerful it would have been if when Ellie…

Was it supposed to be a plot twist that David is a “bad guy” lol?  I think the twist is that they failed at making him unsympathetic.  If the village is actually starving, and some people have died... yeah you might turn to cannibalism. 

The 70s Bonds, with the exception of Spy Who Loved Me, are all about trying to capture the cultural moment and being two years late.

“Ian Fleming Publications have also taken the liberty of removing some of the stupider passages of his books, such as in Live and Let Die where Bond inflates villain Dr. Kananga like a balloon, which sends him flying around the room making a deflating fart noise until he explodes. Furthermore, the pigeons in Fleming’s …

My Bata tapes will someday be worth millions!

He’s holding his rifle across his chest in that shot, if I remember correctly. So probably not peeing. 

Lagging??? I thought this was the best of the bunch so far. A proper backstory with some stakes that are actually serious. You learn more about the actual characters than in other episodes and some decent humor. Of all the episodes, it’s the only one that could have been stretched out further and still been great…

The one time that The Rock did an “outside the box” movie was Southland Tales, and I think the failure (box office-wise and critics-wise) of that movie might have scared him off from doing anything else outside of the action/adventure/comedy realm. For anyone who hasn’t seen Southland Tales, it’s worth watching for…

The only Madcap is

The Ron Swansong, you mean.

I legit cried for almost the whole 10 minute sequence on the last day. Murray Bartlett was great, but Nick Offerman’s acting just wrecked me. And totally didn’t expect Bill to die too, since he was still alive in the game. It was such a beautiful story. Could have easily worked as a standalone short film.

Dead Calm was all-around way ahead of its time and managed to be actually suspenseful and scary even though it has a body count of none (on camera, at any rate). I’m honestly surprised no one has attempted to remake it.

He was good in Dead Calm where Billy Zane gives a great, chilling performance.
