I wonder if it would have been improved with the original practical effects they planned. I mean, the effects company had practical horror models produced and ready to shoot, and at the last minute, some executive said ‘no, do CGI’ and it all got scrapped.  Doesn’t really change the script, but seems like it would…

In a vicious, paranoid movie, that genius comedy line is timed and delivered perfectly.

Oh, that’s very kind. But I’m sure every Mistie has some things they know that most others don’t. There’s only roughly 354 hours of show to get through in one lifetime - and that’s only one view each, and doesn’t include Rifftrax, Cinematic Titanic, or The Film Guys, let alone live shows like The Mads Are Back. How…

Also, poachers:

This is excellent (as an analysis, not what happened). Nothing I can add, except that her story, while an extreme example, is many girls/womens’ story in the entertainment industry. Me Too shouldn’t just be about outing the few obvious abusers - it should be about dismantling the entire apparatus that protects them.

Oh, this is exactly right. 100 percent. Very well written and thought out.  It took years of fine tuning to get to the medications I take, and the right ones help so much. But when she has no control over what’s given to her, who knows what’s being done to her mind?

I agree with all of this, except I do believe (with absolutely no qualifications on my part; quite the opposite) that she has some type of intellectual disability. I’m not saying she can’t function, but I do think forcing her to perform for the public to keep her empire going is not constructive to her needs. I think…

So something good did come out of this shitstorm!

“Highlander is so great.”

As dumb and meaningless as this whole affair is, the one thing I’m glad about is that she got more time than Felicity Huffman, even if Covid-19 means she does it from home. I said this before, but if Laughlin had gotten less or no time than Huffman, then there’s no incentive for any rich person to cooperate with the…

“Long stop.”

“Someday a real rain will come and wash away all the more qualified students in the way of my daughter getting in to UCLA.”

This is where I point out that both Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu were on Feig’s Freaks & Geeks, so they have a prior working relationship with him. And Beaulieu’s character being called ‘A.R.T.’ is a reference to a long-running MST3K joke where people call Crow (also performed by Beaulieu) ‘Art’ because in one…

Only Dave Matthews.

It’s the Steppenwolf of incidents. And investigations. And movies. He is the perfect symbol of all of this: a big bowl of a CGI nothing villain that should have been something else.

you don’t turn to someone and say, “Look under your bed, it will change your life” and it’s a Monkees album.
