She’s actually a pretty good actor considering her main thing is comedy (her standup special was excellent).

It felt pretty revolutionary to me to have a movie that focused on the mother-daughter relationship (and specifically in an adventurous way) instead of the mother just being dead.

You’re assuming there will be a future time when he’s not president.  

I guess that’s what “great again” would look like, probably.

Fake news!

I remember thinking Mike Meyers was taking it a little too seriously.

All of these are real songs.  What’s a “fake song”?

Looks like they’re doing a TV thing (miniseries?) with Kate McKinnon.

I can’t wait.  I did want them to look scruffier in middle age, but maybe this scene is from the end of the movie?

I don’t think they needed to make the adults more antagonistic than they were in the book. It always irritates me when kid entertainment does that—it’s cheap, and harmful.

I’m grey so nobody will read this/care, but you guys are seriously shooting fish in a barrel here—leaving this up as your lead articles for days so everyone can get a little self-righteous thrill thinking about how wrong Gottlieb is. She’s not wrong (and it seems like a lot of the people who are saying she is haven’t…

Golden Apples of Meat, oh my God.  That sounds horrifying. 

“White mystery” flavor, inverted.

He’s handsome and talented and underutilized, for sure. I have a theory: he got cast as a cuckold one too many times early in his movie career. Think about it: The Notebook, X-Men, Superman Returns, Enchanted--same character in each one, basically. I think there’s only so many times you can play Handsome Boyfriend Who…

I’m not social media but would try this lol

It is really cool to hear an actor talk about approaching different roles with different methods, i.e. more theatrically or more naturalistically as the role/project requires.   

But, ultimately, they did not have a plan. That “plan” thing was just smoke and mirrors. So, humans win?

I read both to my son, in order, and he surprised me by stating a preference for the Hobbit, not on the basis of the tone, but because it was more morally nuanced (he phrased that differently, obviously). E.g. Thorin wasn’t a bad guy, but he made bad choices out of treasure-lust, and Bilbo had to trick him to stop the…

It’s a Bojack reference.

“Like Porky’s except even dumber” = cheap to make, and guaranteed profitable.
