Of course, but that’s also a sign of how lazy and contemptuous towards its audience the movie is. There’s no real joke to be made in Ferrell or Reilly having bad accents in the movie, so the thought would have to have been "It's just a light comedy - no need to put any effort in. If it doesn't turn out, they'll just…

Personally, I think the lasting legacy of this subgenre was the amount of absolute scathing Siskel and Ebert reviews they inspired. Car race comedies inspired the same degree of loathing from them in the 80s that Seltzer/Friedberg-style spoofs inspire today.

Being able to simulate and replicate human bodily functions is one thing (obviously some form of excretion would be necessary since the Hosts eat and drink alongside the Guests). I’m asking whether or not they NEED to. We seen Hector drinking alcohol, but we don’t see Dolores or Teddy or any of their crew eating. If…

That opens up a whole new set of questions... like in last week’s episode I was wondering why hosts react to strangulation... Do they need to breathe? Humans breathe because we need oxygen to break down food and release the energy inside it. Hosts, as far as I know, have internal power supplies and as such no apparent…

I think it’s something of a love-hate relationship. He lived in France for a while but eventually moved away because, I believe, he thought the taxes were too high.

Glad to see you’re citing proper sources:

I’m not the one who was sardonically calling your post “edgy” - though if I were I would say it was less about your disinterest in Grant and more about your self-consciously contrarian description of Spielberg and DiCaprio as “ one of the blandest of insipid directors and an over the hill party boy both desperate to…

It’s not about whether people are “clamoring” for a biopic, it’s about whether or not Spielberg and DiCaprio have found a story about Grant that’s worth telling.

So, odds that the series will involve Alfred having an affair with woman whose name will be revealed at the end to be “Martha”? I say 34%.

And according to IMDb, Anthony Hopkins is back, too! It’s going to be a party!

I believe it’s not unheard of for people to use more than one method for suicide. She could have taken pills in order to numb herself before cutting her wrists, for instance.

My running theory for the season is that either Dolores or Maeve or maybe even both will eventually be revealed to be not operating of their own free will but are instead following a hidden layer of programming as pawns in a game of corporate espionage. For instance, Dolores could be being used to sabotage the…

From what I have heard, all of this is completely consistent with Crawford’s reputation. He wasn’t particularly nice on the set of Rectify, and has apparently only gotten worse since landing his role on Lethal Weapon. So there’s that.

Nah, Iggy would have factored in the politics of the movie, and Roth’s filmography, but he would have also made sure to place it in the proper historical and stylistic context related to the genre.

“There’s nothing insightful about what I’m saying”

Yeah - cowboy-ing and the like were professions full of immigrants in the time of the Old West (and still today, to be honest), but probably thanks to the lily-white nature of the film industry during the Western boom most Americans don’t see them that way.

I think in an era of constant cynicism, anything that leans into melodrama or emotion with earnestness or sincerity at all is seen as “Emotional porn”.

Also, video game stories tend to be very derivative of genre fiction, so even the most faithful adaptations wind up feeling like movies with the production value of a $100 million blockbuster and the screenplay of a $600,000 Cannon film.

With Vincent D’Onofrio as Bannon.

If I recall correctly, Stallone has said that he envisioned Ivan Drago’s post-fight fate as having wrecked his body through steroid abuse and alcohol. Curious if he will follow through with that, here. Could create an interesting character dynamic between him and Lundgren.
