"Whoops, wrong dressing room, heh heh! But since I'm here…"

Jordan Peele says he made his movie to be watched twice, as there are loads of details in the story that make more sense once you know what's going to happen. So don't let finding out a plot twist dissuade you from watching the film. You've also had 4 weeks to see it, you lazy ass.

I think Esther's original opening line was, This post contains discussion of the end of Rogue One, a movie which came out in December, which is my way of telling you that my editor told me to put in the words "spoiler alert," but if you have a genuine interest in this news article, and yet you somehow haven't seen the…

Load up your movie nachos with jalapeños and you can self-heat.

Once you've lived in LA for 10 years, you're also eligible for free foot massages from subservient teens.

Great minds think alike.

If we're talking "in the last 30 years" like Hastings says, movie theaters have innovated a great deal: stadium seats, reserved seating, digital projection (for better or worse), reclining seats, fancier food, alcohol… Now if they only had ushers who could cattle prod anyone who whips out their phone during the movie,…

As long as you keep the fireplace burning while you're gone.

This is a good bookend to the Vanity Fair video of Saoirse Ronan teaching you how to make the perfect cup of tea: http://www.vanityfair.com/h…

Cheers for your passive-aggressive way of calling me ignorant. But in fact I don't do this. There are loads of interesting films that I'll readily confess to not "getting". However, Biller's films really do feel like art school in-jokes. And I went to art school, so I know what an art school in-joke looks like.

I've only had actors read sides for the actual characters they're auditioning for, so I can't speak to how widespread it is for CDs to send out generic sides for studio programmers or indie films, if indeed it's widespread at all.

I never said it wasn't straightforward.

Biller and Maddin are two sides of the same coin.

I wouldn't say they're lazy - and I have worked with 4 CDs on 3 different films. You have to give out the same sides to every actor reading for a part, so you can compare how they handle the same scene. Believe me - everyone including and especially CDs would love not to have to sit through the same reading 20 times a…

I'm so ambivalent about Anna Biller and her films. Obviously she's genuine about her work, in terms of the time she puts into it and the details she obsesses over. And her retro aesthetics are flawlessly authentic. But for all her articulately delivered defenses, the films themselves just seem like art school…

Casting directors are scummy, but not because they give the same sides to every actor auditioning for the same role.

No joke, I do remember a RyanAir flight in which potato chip sandwiches were for sale.

You can thank the Airline Deregulation Act for that.

Ana Asensio really looks nothing like Wiig, but damn if I didn't think it was Wiig in that still.

A Facebook acquaintance of mine had a troll friend who started arguments on every one of his buddy's threads. He was a real dick. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I later learned that he died. Heart attack or whatever - he was in his late 50s/early 60s. Anyway, when I heard the news, all I could think was, "Whatever…
