Plus, I’ve read that the film depicts the character at various stages of his life and at various weights, so that presents a challenge. It’s easier to cast an actor like Fraser—who is a larger actor by Hollywood standards—and then craft a few different suits so that he can play the character at various stages of his…
Offense doesn’t have come into it. A joke that gently pokes fun at a group isn’t necessarily aimed (or even predicted) to hurt the feelings of people in that group (“It’s just a joke, lighten up!”). But it does let that group know that they’re not the people that this particular piece of entertainment is for.
You agree that the joke has a viewpoint and a meaning behind it (which is what I was getting at), so I’m not sure why that point is being debated.
It’s not about being offended, it seemed to be a clear statement of intent. “This is for a very specific group, they will enjoy it the most, the jokes are targeted for them.” And that’s good! I sincerely hope that group enjoys it. It’s just weird to then be like “why didn’t the general audience hugely support the…
It’s the joke “So much for the tolerant left!”
The trailer for this movie has a joke that says:
Kudos to the marketing team on this film, continuing to pay for puff pieces like this even after the film flops at the BO.
“While it would have been funny for the sketch to focus on the less-desirable aspects of the multiplex...”
No, it wouldn’t have, and most likely had they done it? You’d call it out for being pedantic.
It’s sad when these reviews are as much on autopilot as you deemed it to SNL.
But please, ask about Cecily a few more…
I can’t answer.

H.L. Mencken said that, although the exact quote was: “No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”
At least now we know that he did, in fact, live to see 24.
I do love conversations like this about Ripley and knowing that the actors were also thinking and talking about this stuff. One of my favorite scenes is when Ripley finally loses her patience with Parker and tells him to shut up and listen. From the DVD commentary, Kotto had been trying to get Weaver to the place she…
I learned from listening to this interview that Sigourney Weaver is an incredibly well-spoken and thoughtful person, and this article’s headline is creating a lot of drama that really isn’t there at all when you listen to it. It’s just another disappointing example of the current state of clickbait journalism.
Shorter version: “I like money, give me money, I’m for sale, just like everyone else”.
Money talks, thats the essence here. Not your BS.
Haha. So money talks even louder than your “holier than thou” attitude. Hypocricy at its best! She gives a great example to her fanboys.
I showed my girlfriend Crimes and Misdemeanors. At the very end of the movie there’s a wedding reception. A few quick cuts to establish the room. People eating, drinking, dancing, having fun. There’s a shot of the flower girl playing with another child. It’s a two second shot maybe. And my gf turns to me and goes…
