I take it the first wave of Anthony apologists has arrived.

You realize that Opie & Anthony were the ones who gave Breitbart the platform for blasting Anthony Weiner's junk shot story all over the place, right? They didn't mind the "PC police" when they were the PC police.

Many years ago, on April Fool's Day, they claimed Mayor Menino was killed while in the company of a Haitian prostitute.

Awwww poor Beaker :( I was thinking more like this.

I can't stand Jonah Hill but the pay cut story didn't start on The Daily Show; it was an Oscar-season PR strategy. His team leaked that anecdote to just about every major media outlet, in order to "endear" him to Academy voters who might not think he was serious about acting.

If she was a last-minute space-filler, fine, but I stand by my original comment and I think it was unnecessary and lazy.

It's slim pickings only if you are looking for a "big name." A Wes Anderson enthusiast likely has a broader definition of what constitutes a big name than your average film-goer so yes, to that discerning type of person, Rosemary Harris is a known quantity.

You've never heard of a camera phone? Well, that explains your slavish devotion to defending this racist knuckledragger.

"the pool of recognizable elder statesman actors is slim pickings"

I didn't argue that she didn't. I asked why an equally capable actress of an appropriate age wasn't cast to replace an age appropriate actress.

Well me, personally, I'd completely assume a hoax waiting to be revealed. Almost every time (if not every, though I don't want to commit 100%) I've heard about an alleged crime that involved the writing or carving of slurs into someone's skin, it's turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by the "victim." As far back as…

I agree with you. One recent example that springs to mind for me is Tilda Swinton in The Grand Budapest Hotel. Angela Lansbury (88) was originally set to play Madame D., who is in her eighties. Lansbury dropped out and was replaced by Tilda Swinton (53).

TIL these things still get passed around.

Hopefully it was vintage (hot) Prince Andrew and not current (Pillsbury Doughboy) Prince Andrew.

Oh absolutely. It's been a while since I watched the making of feature but if I recall, it wasn't that Frankenheimer thought for a minute that Lansbury looked old that drove him to cast her; having just finished All Fall Down together, he knew what she could bring to the role. Sinatra actually was pushing for Lucille…

Actually, you don't even have to be accused of a crime for your search history to be investigated. In Terms and Conditions May Apply, the filmmaker visits an old friend, whose home was invaded by a SWAT team after he was red-flagged Googling things like, "How to kill your wife."

A hate crime? Holy shit balls, you are stupid.

The Ann B. Davis do does no woman any favors.

But every so often, this silly standard works in our favor - a 36-year-old plays the mother of a 33-year-old - and we are gifted with a performance for the ages.
