Boooo. Raimi’s movies were all about the 60's era with Stan Lee and Steve Ditko literally making everything up as they went along. (Ditko would just draw 15 random pages, and Lee would reorganize them and concoct a story to match the scenes: The mighty Marvel method.) Everything that Raimi shot was a respectful,…
Matrix 404
That’s actually what this is, but the Rabid Right didn’t understand it. This movie is structured exactly like Surviving the Game and Hard Target: it begins with the richies hunting the poors, but then there’s a reversal and poors go after the richies. The trailer makes that super clear, but apparently none of the…
As always, you had me at “Walton Goggins”.
Walton Goggins is astonishing in Vice Principals. I thought McBride was actually pretty damn good too, very different from Kenny Powers.
This and Succession is some grade-A back to back assholery.
Each week is Obi-Wan solving another Tatooine crime mystery with his wise-cracking Jawa partner. It's a police procedural!
I mean, she did so well at sexualizing bisexuality at the start of her career...
Can we all take a minute to acknowledge trailblazer Katy Perry for bisexualizing sexual harrassment? Another civil rights milestone!
Maybe Jack Black is his secret ingredient. Bernie was also lots of fun, if a little more Linklater-ly.
What’s interesting is beyond all his art films and experiments and such, the one movie that sticks out that has a triumphant climax and has flavor for days is School of Rock, the most un-Linklater movie is his filmography.
Yeah, my kneejerk reaction would have been to agree with the original poster, but my theater had a similar reaction to seeing Nolan’s name pop up, I was genuinely surprised to hear what seemed to be earnest excitement for a new Nolan film among the theater, but I’d say the guy definitely seems to have managed to…
As a real fan of those shows, I think the more interesting time-jump is going back the full decade to old eps of CBB, DLM, etc., and seeing just how full of transphobic & misogynistic humor those shows were.
It can be true that they were fine with it and also that it’s messed up. His “rational explanation” still sounded creepy as hell to me. I’ve done some acting (not quite at this level, lol, but still...) and I would be extremely disturbed by a director who insisted on personally doing the choking. If it’s not going to…
The insinuation here doesn’t seem to have any basis in reality though. Uma Thurman never seemed to address her choking/spit shots in a negative light, and Diane Krueger defended Tarantino, saying it was a pleasurable shooting. Tarantino had a rational explanation as well, that he made sure the actors were fine with…
Ha!
You underrate Nolan’s popularity. Dunkirk made $189M in the US, $526 worldwide almost entirely on “from the director of Inception and The Dark Knight”. There are no big stars. Nolan is the star.
He declined to go to the strip club with her - the pantsing happened in public at a roller rink during someone’s birthday party. Reading comprehension, bruh.
Every since hearing him tell the story about how he insisted on personally choking Uma Thurman and Diane Kruger during filming I haven’t been able to stomach him. And nothing I’ve seen or heard since has helped. At all.
I’m with you there.
