True Lies walked so The Long Kiss Goodnight could run slowly limp.

No doubt - if he’d been purely a jerkass goofball we wouldn’t remember his character (and performance) nearly as fondly.  

‘better known as van from reba’ is so funny to me. who from what?!

Sorry but it’s not “hate speech” to wish a fascist was dead. It’s banal and Black is a douchebag for reacting like this.

Whether Curtis enjoyed it or not, or whether her character found it empowering or an adrenaline rush or whatever is beside the point. It was petty and abusive of Harry to put her through that all because he was a shitty husband and a jealous prick.  

That’s always one of the classic things in Arnie films, particularly of this era (Jingle All the Way) - That this giant Austrian bodybuilder has a name like Harry Tasker or Howard Langston and absolutely nobody seems to notice he’s unlike anyone else in size and physique. 

Depends, are you a lawyer for Marvel/Disney? If so, he definitely wasn’t...

It’s worked for him for eight years (and counting).

I said this just the other day, but the reason the press keeps talking about Joe Biden’s debate performance is because he hasn’t done anything else scandalous since then.  Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s strategy is to have a new scandal every 27 hours so that the press can’t focus on any one thing for too long.

I could see one of his headlines:

I enjoy the unspoken joke of a guy who looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger  going through life pretending to be an unassuming software salesman and everyone just buys it.

Between JD Vance and Aileen Cannon, there’s batshit insanity happening roughly every two hours.

I love Heston’s dressing-down of Faisil (hat tip to the author for that info nugget) after Schwarzenegger and (T) Arnold’s deflections on what a mess they made. “What makes you think the slack I cut him in any way translates to you??”

Yeah, that scene is still awful and misogynistic, even if we can appreciate how talented Curtis is within its mean-spirited framework. 

“Is the scene humiliating for Helen? For Jamie Lee Curtis?”

And yet one other icon of the time lives despite not particularly deserving it. 

I was thinking the same thing. The two of them were two peas in pod.

And Shelly Duval earlier this week.  I guess she was more a 70s icon 

Taron Egerton sang an Elton John song as an animated gorilla and then played a live action Elton in the bio-pic.

I’m not sure what this adds to the discussion, but I find it so incredibly bizarre I’m shoehorning it in.

“That would be the Sing series, which tries to turn the studio’s basic-ass music taste into some kind of guiding principle of insincere uplift, all while inching them closer to the platonic ideal of that 100-minute dance-party ending.”
