No, the character’s name in the movie is Durand Durand. The band spelled it differently.

... If right wing conservatives run the party, why can’t she get this guy nominated? Why is it the Democratic Senate leadership that is telling Hochul to let it go? She might be quietly right-wing, but the very fact that she’s threatening to sue her own party surely implies that they aren’t all on the same side.

It would be better if she didn’t talk about being given her first lead role as though it were some kind of hardship. It’s a great thing that she can be selective - wouldn’t it be great if other actors had the same privilege? Is she aware that they don’t?

All black is one of the options in the dress code here though. So employees could presumably just do those two all-black outfits you suggest.

there IS no functional difference between Bridgers and Hawke

Yeah, the Stranger Things kids only look “too old” because people saw them when they were actually 12 - in the first season, Nancy and Steve were teenagers played by actors in their mid-20s and nobody complained. Audiences just aren’t used to seeing real aging, we’ve been taught to expect adult actors wearing pigtail…

The film isn’t that far off that premise, the lead guy doesn’t find global superstardom from playing Beatles songs in 2019. He becomes an opening act for Ed Sheeran and gets a record deal, he doesn’t immediately start selling out stadiums or something.

I have seen River of Fundament, and unless this movie has a lot of slow, cryptic dialogue and portentous standing around, I doubt they’re very alike.

But if copaganda portrays redeemable cops who effectively fight crime, wouldn’t The Wire be disqualified? They don’t effectively fight crime at all, and their involvement mostly just leads to the decent low-level people getting killed before they get a chance to turn their lives around (D’Angelo, Wallace,…

For who? This is the internet, it’s international - while it’s in theatres on the 23rd in the USA, it’s not playing in my country until weeks later.

Tons! Tara and Willow reconcile on BtVS, Tara is shot and killed in the same episode. Lexa and Clarke consummate their relationship on The 100, Lexa is shot and killed same episode. Supernatural, Castiel confesses his love for Dean, is immediately sucked into a hell dimension. Ianto and Jack on Torchwood identify as a…

If the new Indiana Jones doesn’t set the world on fire I wouldn’t be surprised if LucasFilm went to an all-streaming model

I agree, but since the trope is specifically gay characters dying immediately after finding love and happiness, it does kind of fit for Killing Eve. The issue isn’t gay characters dying, it’s that weird rug-pull that seems to happen to gay characters disproportionately.

I think you underestimate how risk-averse consumers can be - if I were considering signing up to a new service and it had a reputation for dropping shows from their catalogue, I’d go with another one. Like say, Disney+, which will always hold onto their own shows. This is the exact reason Netflix has been losing…

The Whale is set entirely in a single location, with no flashbacks. It would logistically be easier than What’s Eating Gilbert Grape to film it around one person - once Fraser was in prosthetics, he wasn’t mobile either.

For a movie that seems to be primarily a character study, it seems like it would be a significant aspect of his character to explore, particularly considering that his life seems to have been shaped so heavily by his sexuality. He left his wife and was alienated from his daughter for a man, and his best friend is that…

I don’t know any of those things, or didn’t before now. It wouldn’t occur to me to google them, because I think the whole institution is silly and I genuinely didn’t believe that people took it so seriously - it would not occur to me that people would really, seriously care if I curtsy to them, and if I do it…

To me, the weird bit has been seeing commenters everywhere insist that a larger actor could not and has never existed. Darlene Cates was in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape at her real size in 1993, and she gave a stellar performance - she was discovered on an episode of Sally Jessy Raphael titled “Too Heavy to Leave Their…

See, I think without Dern being aggressive and one-sided, Johansson’s character would have never thought to advocate for herself in the first place.

The unhealthily thin runway models aren’t really in vogue anymore
