Marisa Tomei was actually the first Aunt May that made sense on any kind of reasonable timeline. She was always depicted as 80-something, which makes no sense that she would be the aunt of a teenager. She’d be a grand-Aunt or great-grand-aunt the way she was always depicted in the comics. Marisa Tomei is a very hot…

Emmy Rossum being cast as Tom Holland’s mom in The Crowded Room, despite a less-than-ten-year age gap between the two.

She’s in her 50s, you know. An entirely appropriate age for the aunt of a high schooler.

I can see your point. I thought it was really good, close to being masterpiece level. 

It was very earnest storytelling, which serves its purpose. Painkiller is more audacious, and I’m enjoying it more - if that’s the correct word for the dissection of an American tragedy. Dopesick had some smaller devastating moments, as when Sackler says they’re developing a version of Oxy for children (!) - but…

Keaton was awesome in Dopesick, and it is one of his best performances, but I believe his best was in Birdman.

Dopesick had its defect but it was carried by the wieght of some performances, specially Michael Keaton who delivered his life’s best. I don’t see much room for that here. Broderick won’t be able to out-slime Stuhlbarg, and that guy in real life is as close to venomous slime as it gets. 

While I enjoyed Dopesick, it seemed as if it didn’t know whether it wanted to be Succession, The Wolf of Wall Street, or Euphoria, so it took the most banal and surface-level aspects of each and threw it all in.

Michael Stuhlbarg, of course, was still brilliant.

Dude’s only 60. He’ll get bored. He’ll come up with a loophole. Or he’ll say, “Fuck it”. Or, “Did you think I was serious?” Or, “Yeah, I meant it then, but things change”. Or whatever. In any event, he’ll make a 11th, 12th, 13th, how many ever more films down the road. It might be a year later, a few years, or ten…

Sorry, I miss typed, since 2020.

It's going to be difficult for him to enter a plea because every time he starts talking he falls backwards into a display rack full of thimbles.

Well, we’re getting another Haunted Mansion movie this year (the third, I believe, if you count the Muppet one), so they must be running out.

It’s a Small World After All. That one seems ripe for cinematic treatment.

The Carousel of Progress?

What more could people possible want or expect about a show about positivity, growth, and unwavering support?

The Old Guard? I quite liked that one although I agree it wasn’t terribly memorable outside of a couple of scenes.

Sneakily, this works as both a humblebrag and simply an anecdote displaying Rickles’ style. I have no doubt Rickles did exactly this, it makes perfect sense. But there are obvious ways Tarantino could interpret this to suit himself. And I think at this point it’s no secret how much disdain Tarantino has for Scorcese’s…

“and all these Australian actors pretending to be Americans”

Nailed it, especially about Game of Thrones-- it was so incredibly obvious the writers were done even trying.
