Just the prospect of an “Animaniacs” episode taking cracks at how WB manages the DCEU is enough to make me giddy.

Ben Mankiewicz was fine (Ebert himself described his being paired with Lyons as the critical equivalent of being the victim of a drive-by shooting). It was the PRODUCERS who fucked it up.

So now we know what Bill Mitchell is doing in his spare time.

I kind of love that Alan Loeb has become the new icon for schmaltzy bad movies, when before the 1-2-3 punch of “Collateral Beauty”, “The Space Between Us”, and “The Only Living Boy in New York” he was merely seen as another extruder of studio mediocrity. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to have any active projects going…

An article EW published about the movie gives me a little hope that Spielberg has some ideas he’s working with through the fluff:

I get that they’re probably expecting most of the money to come from Japanese audiences, but I say if they’re going to adapt a Pokemon-based property few people are aware of they should go for the stage musical “Pokemon Live!”

Nope. Ridley Scott!

And in this case NBC is the one that matters because they had the US distribution rights... And it WAS cheap for them-they only had to pay 750,000 per episode for Seasons 1 and 2 down to 185,000 per episode for Season 3.

What? ‘Hannibal’ was famously one of the cheapest shows of its kind.

I’m glad that even though “Power Rangers” underperformed at the box office the cast are still finding work, as they were the primary reason the movie was so much better than it had any right to be. Montgomery here (and he just joined a Ned Kelly biopic with Nicholas Hoult and Russell Crowe), Ludi Lin in “Aquaman”,…

I have a feeling the sitcoms will topple like dominos, and only “Young Sheldon” will remain standing.

Wasn’t he also supposed to be developing a Groucho Marx biopic? I want to know the status of THAT.

He was great in “Coriolanus”

“There is virtually no plot to the movie; it’s a sustained feature-length fight scene the same way that Mad Max: Fury Road is a sustained feature-length car chase.”

I don’t think anyone really denies Adam Sandler is a good actor-in fact I’d argue that much of the venom directed towards him is because we KNOW he can be really good but deliberately chooses not to be. He’s playing beneath his abilities because it’s easier and he prefers going for the paycheck (there’s also the…

I just watched “When We Were Kings” a week or so ago, and DAMN was he a beast of a man. It’s not tough to see why everybody was expecting him to beat Ali.

As much as this story gives a visceral knee-jerk of a negative reaction, Brett Ratner’s been surprisingly solid in seeking out Prestige pictures as a Producer recently. His only major success has been “The Revenant”, but by throwing his weight behind stuff like “Rules Don’t Apply”, “Truth”, and “Black Mass” he’s shown…

This is VERY IMPORTANT!

I’m totally fine with him making more action movies if it occasionally means one of them will be as good as “A Walk Among the Tombstones”.

To be fair, in “Halloween” Michael Myers was supposed to be more of an implacable force than a fleshed-out character, so there was never really a reason to keep his actor(s) isolated from the rest of the cast.
