Everything has potential and sometimes these turn out really good and well-thought out, but half the time there’s something like this these days it comes out as nothing more than a parade of bad celebrity impressions and watered-down storytelling on the level of a shitty 90s TV movie

Can everyone in this show turn out to be a massive shithead so it doesn’t happen

If that’s your biggest problem with the movie I really feel like you need to be paying attention to other things

The funny thing about being a lifelong Bond fan is being able in real time to see the worm turn about certain movies — just a couple of years ago I think A View to a Kill was almost universally at the bottom of most lists, but now I know of so many Bond fans, critics, and content creators who unrepentantly call it one

oh shit this is how Resident Evil started

Remember when there was that video of Ezra Miller choking one of his fans, did anything ever actually happen about that or did the memory of his notes app apology just get washed away with everything else?

I don’t think Skeet Ulrich can hear you

I have such a hard time believing Martin Short didn’t base the entire Jiminy Glick persona on how gleefully peppy this woman is while absolutely shitting on celebrities

In high school a bunch of people I know used to pass around a copy of American Psycho one of them had (still sold under the counter in Australia) and it was one of the most disturbing things, not even just books, I’d ever experienced.

I mean — can I just put the entire Michael Haneke oeuvre?

Who’d’ve thought, Dr Strangelove was right in both the content and the soundtrack

tired: estates of dead celebrities committed to valiantly preserving their subjects’ integrity

It look me a long time to come around to appreciating Hopper’s Ripley (the cowboy hat didn’t help), but there are times in which I think he’s one of the best — he has such the smarmy superiority of intellect over all others that he and John Malkovich as the older Ripleys do really well more than the young ones. I

Finally validation for film school plebs who think the subtotal of understanding cinema is pointing out when a shot has really cool lighting

For some reason this reminds me a little of that interview with Thandie Newton from last month where Newton pretty clearly stated in no uncertain terms that she still defends the intentions of the movie Crash and believed in what it was trying to say about race, while the interviewer kept bending over backwards trying
