He seems like the guy you get if you cannot afford Stuart Townsend, and Stuart Townsend seems like the guy you get if you cannot afford Johnny Depp.

Chief among the film’s adult subjects is Moonee’s tattooed, shit-talking tornado of a mother, Halley (Instagram celebrity and first-time actor Bria Vinaite, in a performance of pure star-making attitude).” No, not even close, pure wishful pretending; awful character (which is fine) and a terrible, anyone would have

Firmly on (B).

First, two weeks in a row. This comment section is starting to feel like showing up first at a party, just you and the caterer.

Thanks; I do not.  I hear that some aspects of his personal life were glossed over or ignored.  A great film, though.

I work in that... industry, and it was not accurately done, in a very cringey way. Perfectly enjoyable on the surface, excellent craft, and no fault to the performers. No doubt people who know more about Ghandi feel the same.

Can’t sleep.

Risky Business is no lower than #2. Finally, a teen film that acknowledged that there are things that your parents never found out about, instead of ending with learning and a big hug. Princeton could use a guy like Joel.

It made sex boring.

Baroness Von Sketch Show is better than several on here. And Mr. Show does not make the list? The State, a great talent incubator, but the only sketch that I though was actually funny was the film noire talk show, Talk, You.

He was the one who we got, back then.

The rest of the world is Canada:  The United States but pretending that it is not.
