Oh, they are already filing motions with City Councils for approval to purge old records they aren’t legally obligated to keep. Inglewood is hosting a “Shredding party” next month to get rid of their old records.

I think you’re right that seating arrangements are the most misunderstood bit of restaurants. Whether it’s not seating incomplete parties, not giving people larger tables, not pushing tables together, or making people wait when there are seemingly empty tables. Or even just what the host does, and what they’re there…

I’m a new mom, and it’s been a while since I could go out for a long dinner with my girlfriends (who are also mostly moms of young kids).

Whenever the question of “best performance buried in a bad movie” comes up, one of my go-to answers is Rachel McAdams in The Hot Chick (another is Grace Jones in Conan the Destroyer). She can do anything and I’m amazed that she never got the Jennifer Anniston-level career.  She’s far more deserving and capable.

jesus fucking christ, this guy

I’ve got nothing else to add to all the just praise of Rachel McAdams in this movie, but I will add a small note of approval for the scene with Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan and Chelsea Peretti where Magnussen tries to bribe Peretti with $17 and seems to think that if he just slides each bill across the table with…

Amazingly, tons of records seem to have been lost in the past month...

I know it's ridiculous to complain about Theron being underrated given that she's an Oscar winning world famous actor but she just continually surprises me.

This article is SO on point. McAdams is terrific in everything. So is Jesse Plemons, who also completely crushes his role in this movie. It’s such a treat when actors of their caliber are given juicy comic roles.

The Village is a great movie if you can look past deficiencies in the plot. It’s filled with amazing performances from top actors - not only the three leads who all kill it but from William Hurt and Sigourney Weaver in supporting roles. It’s beautifully shot with lush production, the costumes, set, score, etc., are…

The movie itself was pretty great. 

If we put aside all the MAJOR issues the academy has with recognizing people of color, I would label this one of their biggest limitations.  Comedy  is the thing people go back to time and time again, and to devalue it in the way the Academy does is just short-sighted. 

Eddie Murphy in Bowfinger:

Everything in the bar when she’s singing the song with the gun and pointing it at the guys while taunting and not realizing it’s a real gun was fantastic. She comes off like a complete psychopath to these guys who have no idea who she is or what she wants but to the audience she’s just charming and having fun. The…

Rachel McAdams is so talented. And I agree that she was the highlight from this movie. Somebody put this article on a billboard. 

“Looking back, it’s unclear to me exactly how this conspiracy theory spread”

Someone send this to McAdams. She really killed it and should be recognized for it.  I can easily imagine another actor overdoing this, but McAdams kept it in control with smart choices.  I’ve always found her to be solid in anything she works on, but she was especially good and a re-revelation in Game Night.

The only genuinely good performance he’s given in the last decade was Moonrise Kingdom, where Wes Anderson appears to have forced him into actually trying. But even that was nearly seven years ago now.

Having seen Glass, it's clever, but not nearly as impactful as what Lynch did with old Twin Peaks/FWWM footage for The Return. That shit was mind-blowing.

Rewatching Unbreakable this week in preparation for this movie, I was really struck by how good Willis is in it. It’s a quiet, wounded performance but also one where you feel the bond between him and his son and the basic decency of this guy who really doesn’t understand himself. I wish we got that Willis more often.
