I’d read the shit out of that. There’s so many movies that go into each year looking like they’ll own and either tank hard or disappoint badly. 

Tom, if you’re looking for a follow-up feature as you enter the home stretch with this one, may I suggest a year by year breakdown of the biggest film financial failures (i.e. greatest difference between budget and return). You can call it The Popcorn Chumps.

He is amazing. He was the first person to make me appreciate the director of a film instead of the actors. 

Jarmusch direct one of my all time favourite films: Night on Earth. It doesn’t get nearly the credit it deserves for its brilliance.

I hope I can speak for all the adults in the room who still regress to 12 year-old humor with a good ole hearty “Johnny DERP!!!”

At this point, they should just cancel the franchise. The second movie was poorly received. The third movie needed a major rewrite. JK Rowling came out as a proud bigot. COVID halted filming. Now Depp is fired (and the producers all have egg on their face).

I was going to say that now the actor who played the Younger Grindelwald (Jamie Bower) could be aged up by make-up and play the Older Grindelwald. But then I saw your reminder of how terrible Rowling is and thought that Bower should stay away from it.

It was pretty minor, but I just wrote about it in a response to another post in this thread. 

I don’t really have any good stories, but he was a super-nice, down-to-earth guy. I had seen Stranger Than Paradise when I was 18 and became an immediate fan! My sister works in the film industry and was working on the movie and got me a brief job as a PA in Oregon.

I would much rather hear about your interactions with Jim Jarmusch!

I would be too! Happy to hear all the Jim Jarmusch stories.

For the record, I was much more star-struck by Jim Jarmusch, and still cherish those memories!

I worked on Dead Man, which Johnny Depp starred in. I was a lowly PA, and he held the door open for me when my hands were full. I was so star-struck! When my kids came to visit me he danced with my two year-old and played drums with him. I spoke on the phone with Kate Moss when she called to talk to him.

I was always of the belief that both Depp and Heard are terrible people, but as the court case went on, it became pretty clear that Depp took the abuse past emotional levels, and into physical territory. And then the stories of drug abuse and alcoholism painted a picture of someone who may not have been abusive in the…

They’re also.... not that great of movies. They’re decent entertainment if you’re on an airplane and forgot to bring a book, but I certainly wouldn’t spend money on them even if JKR and Depp weren’t trash.

Good riddance to a serial abuser.

I’m continually reminded this site is a shadow of a husk of a whisper of a fart of what it used to be and it has now descended into lukewarm garbage. And then I stop reading. Months go by and I start to miss the Jezebel of old and read an article here and there and they’re not bad and even pretty good and then it…

I like how the bullshit artist who wrote this made sure to quote the response to a question, and not the question itself.

With an article headline like that... you should be out of work.. Grow up and act like what you write matters, not just clicks.

The second bitter screed of the day, attacking a white woman who is by every possible measure, the type of ally that Jezebel demands to have.
