I am, at heart, an optimist.

Harsh!

Ouch.

It’s a fun thing to look back on, now that both LoT and the AV Club are over.

Marvel at the fact that the JSA is appearing on the big screen.

On the other hand: Dr. Fate in a live action movie!

Oh.

His notoriety isn’t related to his SNL contribution, though. Those others you’re talking about didn’t do anything noteworthy besides be on SNL. He, on the other hand, has a long history of getting in the press for his behaviors outside of SNL. So it would be bewildering if he were getting noticed for being on SNL,…

Saying you watch it won’t impress anyone, the way something like Succession might,

I agree that Peck was a bit of an odd choice for the role because it’s hard to see him being really sleazy enough.

This article mostly discusses Hepburn, which is understandable since this was her big star turn (and Wyler knew how to use her better than any other director would for the remainder of the 1950s), but on my most recent rewatch of this I thought about Peck’s role and how his casting plays against the script:  if you…

I know I’m a broken record on this, but AV Club’s highlighting of this column (below another For Our Consideration) compared to that of Breihan’s action/superheroes/moneymakers (always page top) is a microcosm of the Hollywood dynamics for women and men as discussed.

I agree. I mentioned in an different part of the thread that I don’t think she’s very good at dropping her natural southern accent. When she’s allowed to keep it, it’s like watching a different performer. Maybe not quite as drastic as when you see Penelope Cruz act in her native Spanish, but similar.

I know about the Greystoke thing and it blows my mind. How do you get through the entire production without considering a recast, an accent coach or just rolling with it? How do you cast Christopher Lambert and then decide MacDowell’s accent is the problem? You’re right, I take back anything negative I’ve said about…

So I was a sad, lonely single 19 year old in California, listlessly looking for something to do when I walked by a theater and decided to see a movie. There wasn’t a single thing playing that interested me but I figured that Four Weddings and a Funeral might be the best of the bunch so I bought a ticket and walked in.…

Here's my problem with Tommy: he's usually right, but he refuses to make his case before playing backroom games to get his way. He clearly likes subverting the Queen more than advising her. Every conversation is either Tommy saying the decision is Elizabeth's and her slowly dragging an actual opinion out of him, or…

My imagined conversation with Tommy Lascelles:
"I'm so pleased to meet you, Mr. Lascelles. You are so cool. You are just chill as fuck!"
There is a long awkward pause.
"Sanguine," he finally responds. "I am sanguine as fuck."

Is everything "as big a controversy as the abdication crisis"?

On behalf of America, keep the "nubile cherry" talk to yourself, pervert.
