Paltrow has tons of money and is a bit out of touch with normal people. We get it. I’m trying to understand how that’s a bad thing in this situation. If I was obscenely wealthy and some idiot crashed into me on the slopes, putting me in pain and thus ruining my day of skiing then WTF is wrong with getting a massage to…

I am not a GP fan at all, of her acting or GOOP (whatever in the hell that is). Not an anti-fan other than I think she is a bit tone deaf, but considering how she was raised and her life since is not surprising. That all being said, I have watched parts of the trial and there is no doubt in my mind the guy ran into GP…

When there are 2 rich assholes at play here, it’s funny how it’s just assumed that SHE is lying and at fault here (because she’s...famous?). For whatever reason, I believe her (usually, I find her to be ridiculous and borderline dangerous with her GOOP nonsense and she doesn’t ever see how privileged she comes off,…

Nah f that... for as much of a smug asshole as she can be, you don’t sue somebody for colliding with them on the slopes unless they were doing something really f*ed up. Next thing ya know, people will be suing other people in a mosh pit cuz they got an ouchie at a concert.

The punchline about getting an affluent white woman to own up to anything would have landed a lot better if it seemed like Paltrow was at fault.

Or maybe, just MAYBE, he actually is at fault here? There isn’t much to go on, and chat messages uncovered during discovery directly confirm that unlike their sworn testimony, Sanderson and the only eyewitness (who knows him) were ABSOLUTELY aware that Paltrow was the other party in the crash at the time it happened.

What makes you say that, other than the big bad was Wez from Road Warrior in a chainmail shirt?

I never really thought about it, but Keanu has always been a great example of a very masculine man without the toxicity. He’s a good guy to look up to, and I do. I’m also in love with Timothy Olyphant.

Getting straight men to clutch their pearls over an essay about a movie franchise is the Lord’s work. And highly entertaining.

Schwarzenegger’s _Commando_.

I think Roger Ebert had a rule that was something like, “No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.”

If they make enough money there will be lots of episodes!

Exactly. Barry Sonnenfeld brings this up, and I think he’s just telling it like it is:

I just assume it’s a kind of arrogance where the studio or filmmaker assumes their product is awesome enough to warrant 2+ hours of running time. Most movies these days are not that good. I almost get excited when I see a new movie in the 90 minute ballpark.

I enjoyed The Batman overall, but holy Christ on a pogo stick did The Batman need some disciplined editing, on both a storytelling and time-length level. It’s like they’ve told a whole movie to the point of wrapping it up only for them to suddenly realise “Hang on, fuck, we’ve totally forgotten to resolve the plot…

AV Club doesn’t really do journalism nor pays enough to allow research. Maybe if somebody else did an article they could link to it and add some lame jokes.

It’s more than likely prepositioning for the upcoming WGA strike.

You did not, in fact, present an actual thought.

I literally checked out at “Hey, let’s poke the alien snake thingy! What’s the worst that could happen?”

Gotta say, a Grey’s Anatomy/Alien crossover would have exactly as much narrative cohesion as the AVP franchise and the two Prometheus flicks.
