It's a common misconception that scripts from the Black List are the "best" unproduced screenplays. In reality, they're the most popular, which means commercial viability factors into as much as perceived quality. Studio execs are looking for the next Paranormal Activity as well as the next The Social Network.

"Decker" is an ego trip for Tim Heidecker cleverly disguised as an ego trip for "Tim Heidecker".

But there was a scandal earlier this year when extras in "Westworld" sued HBO because they were forced to do nudity (without prior notice), including explicit posing and genital contact. The alternative was not working that day.

"These violent delights have violent ends"

When Bernard went into the basement to check the data, I could have sworn I saw the gunslinger from the movie standing in the far background. Maybe I am just projecting because I want there to be a direct connection between the film and the series.

"Oscar Bait" is an anti-art term that needs to die. Even its 'traditional' definition doesn't apply here, because the movie deliberately avoids the dramatics stereotypically associated with it. As it stands, you're implying that any serious, mature movie that hits on important issues is "Oscar Bait" instead of, you…

"Loving is a crime in this undramatic dramatization of a famous court case"

Westworld itself kind of covered this in Anthony Hopkins' speech from the second episode, where he says the park existed for three years before guest were even allowed in, operating at a loss while they got everything set up and (most of) the kinks worked out.

Is he going to be doing the thing where he says something unfunny and expects to be called a genius because the lack of humor was intentional?

Apparently, the reason that all-female Expendables was never made was because the concept couldn't be marketed to look like it was about a man.

He said he could not give "Secret in Their Eyes" a review any higher than a C purely on the basis that it was a remake, despite saying in the review that it was well acted and even improved on the original in some respects.

You're thinking of the Eastwood Rule, which essentially says that actors can't fire the director, take it over themselves, and then get sole credit.

So many defensive white guys in the comments.

According to The Wrap, Tim Miller's desire to cast Kyle Chandler as Cable was one of the biggest points of contention between him and Reynolds, and one of the reasons he left (another being Miller's wish to push the stylized action vs Reynolds preference for raunchy comedy)

Aw, fuck "Miracles From Heaven" is the one I was thinking of! Stupid generic interchangeable titles….

Now that Pureflix is starting to do biopics (with this and Heaven Is For Real-which is actually supposed to be pretty good from what I've heard) I imagine it's just a matter of time before we see them take on more high profile subjects.

There's a shot in the trailer that made me literally laugh out loud: it showed Rachel sitting on her bed, writing in her diary while wearing a black sweatshirt with "POLICE" written across it.

Reviewing this movie will require a good deal of thoughtfulness and nuance to avoid looking like a pile-on. Hopefully they gave it to Ignatiy.

I question if Trump has the resources to launch a Network. His own brand has been severely damaged by his campaign, and how many investors would want to be associated with a name that probably 55% of the population now associates with racism and sexual assault?
