It's true… Though one review from the play's only commercial run (in Tuscon) used the title "The Elevator Play"

Frankly, I can't see any version of this story being made if it DIDN'T have an angle to it. And Landis is a producer on this movie, too, so there's no way he didn't have a hand in it.

And it's based on a stage play called… "Elevator".

In Al Franken's book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them" (written during Dubya's first term) he described Hannity's lies as precise and agenda-driven as opposed to the impulsive bloviating dishonesty practiced by the likes of Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh. He's degraded quite a bit since then, it seems. Maybe

You got in there JUST before I did.

Looks to have about as nuanced a look at race as you'd expect from a fantasy-themed buddy cop movie directed by David Ayer and written by Max Landis.

Mega Man Legends is the one best suited to a film series, if you ask me.

Any love here for the fan film from 2010? Considering it was made for pennies I think it turned out pretty well.

Ludi Lin. He's got the charisma, athleticism, and sense of fun the character requires.

Uhhh…. can we get another season of Underground instead?

"In that book 'Tuesdays With Morrie', Morrie Schwartz had Lou Gehrig's Disease. But it turns out due to a mixup at the hospital, Lou Gehrig had Hodgkin's Disease, Hodgkin had Parkinson's Disease and Parkinson had Alzheimer's Disease. Unfortunately, Alzheimer couldn't remember whose disease he had… he thinks it may

That's an odd way of spelling "lie"…

One of the best insights I've heard about "The Room" is that it is bad in so many different ways that it helps you learn to appreciate basic competency in other movies. It's like a photo negative of what a well made movie looks like.

If you really look at it, Martin Landau was the inventor of Category Fraud in TV. He didn't want to be pigeonholed as a TV actor when he signed up for "Mission: Impossible", so even though he appeared (I believe) in every episode of Season 1 he was credited for a "Special Appearance" rather than as a main cast member.

I remember reading stories that he'd cameo and play a bard of some variety. Probably for the best that they took care of it in the first episode (and seemingly took strains to give most of the dialogue to the actual actors around him).

Neat bit of trivia-years before he played Lugosi he played Dracula as part of the tour company of the revival of the Hamilton Deane play that made Lugosi a star. I wonder if he drew from that experience for his performance in "Ed Wood".

He once joked that 'Mr. Rogers gets a tonsillectomy' was the scariest thing he ever directed.

I think it's probably because even though Hollywood saw him as the new standard White Male Lead, Pine knows he's at his best when playing weird and subversive. Studios see him as Kirk, but individual filmmakers pay closer attention to his work in movies like "Stretch".

Naomi Scott is a professional singer as well as an actress:

Ava DuVernay has always had visual flair. "Selma" and "Middle of Nowhere" both had great cinematography from Bradford Young, "Queen Sugar" has some of the best photography on TV, and even "13th" had a distinctive and unique visual style. This just happens to be the first time she's had the resources to run wild.
