Heck she’s cooperating here!  

But the screenplay, choreography, wardrobe, production and production of the writer, choreography, costume director and producer were A plus!  

RE your long-running franchises, I’m just gonna throw this out there: Bond vs. Godzilla.  C’mon Daniel, you know you wanna come back.  

“Now you’ll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks.
And they’ll take you from this dump you’re in and stick you in a box,
Then they’ll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground,
But you’ll stick your head back out and shout, ‘We’ll have another round!’”

I thought it was sort of funny but then much my brain still lives in 1985.  

So begins the cult appreciation!  I’m in!  

Can we please reassess the reassessment of the prequels? They may have isolated good points but are not good movies and never were. It doesn’t matter what else has come out to which we can favorably compare them. I say this as someone who oddly enjoys them. Natalie Portman is a greatest-in-generation level actor and…

Sorkin’s fault. He treated running an SNL-type show like running the White House. It was sheer pomposity from someone whose head was oh-so-far up his ass. Sports Night was a lot of fun and there were hints of where Sorkin would go later, but it didn’t take itself so deadly serious. Studio 60 was a post-West Wing ego…

Man.  What are the chances something like this would happen with Axl Rose?  One in a million, I’d say.  

In the children’s book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, to which I assume the poster was sort of referring, the protagonist frequently dreams of moving to Australia. I was making a reference in response to their reference.  Apropos of that only.  I’m not nearly as clever as I think I am.  

I am not unsympathetic to your view as my comment might imply. My point is not to express ardent support of either side. My points are that the whole thing is deeply tragic, that there are unbearable grievances on both sides, that the current rhetorical environment is not conducive to nuanced discussion, that a…

It looks amazing. The combination of practical and CG effects is masterful. And the cast is great! But the story is messy, there are character arcs that don’t lead anywhere, weird hostility is taken for gravity, and what the fuck is with distractingly aged Guy Pearce?  There’s a great movie in there, it just needed a…

With a lead actor from Australia no less.  

Inflection point in a tragically endemic aspect of the human condition.  Which would  make “weird” the wrong phrasing as well.  Frowny emoticon.  

It makes me so angry with jealousy that I just have to beach someone off.  

Weird. Barrera’s comments aren’t an unusual view. Agree with her specific phrasing or not, it’s coming from a place of caring about people experiencing unimaginable suffering. Would imagine there’s studio politics at work.  It’s a weird moment.  Reminds me a lot of the post-9/11 era.  “You’re with us or you’re against…

Yes. She is Emperor of the World, known to all except yourself. Also the sky now has pink polka-dots and Congress has been taken over by anthropomorphic giraffes. Christ man, pick up a New York Times for once.

“They wanted to make me for the whole deuce...They didn’t want to be wrong. I didn’t know which side of the fuzz it was... Man, they can do anything they want - you know, charge you with some minor infraction of the rules and you end up doin’ two big ones in Quentin. No fuckin’ way. I couldn’t hack that.”

“Bitch about gvt RE Coyote” calendared on Outlook for next week.

I think they’re joking. I hope they’re joking.
