Honestly, probably not. Stroke or head trauma are the two most likely causes by a pretty significant margin, and effects like this don’t usually take a decade or more to progress. In other words, Doctor Memory’s post is wrong on a number of levels.

At least as far as what’s been stated, it’s aphasia, not dementia, and while it still sucks (especially for a performer) it’s not necessarily debilitating in a general sense. The wording of the Instagram post definitely leaves open the possibility that there’s more to this, but if aphasia is the extent of it then he’s…

Yeah, I wouldn’t say he’s bad at movies; if anything he’s bad at filtering his bad ideas from his good ones.

So many writers and directors would benefit tremendously from doing some TV work for exactly that reason. Constraints force creativity.

Lake Placid?

It’s column A, column B of “assumed he had been dead for years” and “this is just another Conan O’Brien bit”

And David Hasselhoff.

D’oh! I even looked to make sure the dates were right and saw the correct title before I posted that, too. In my defense, HEY LOOK OVER THERE

I think “plenty” is debatable, for one. And any such incident that has occurred since expansion into national broadcast in the early 80s falls into one of two categories: A) disputed as to the shoot authenticity of the incident (i.e. Bash at the Beach 2001) or B) lolTNA (i.e. Victory Road 2011). In cases like the…

Comparison to 2018 is irrelevant too, because anyone who would be intrigued to tune in next year because the wrong film got announced as the winner is the kind of Oscars nerd who was already watching. “They said La La Land instead of Moonrise Kingdom!” was the topic of conversation around three water coolers, max.

They tried, but couldn’t find anyone willing to do the job for about $1, about $2, or $1.35 in cash.

I feel like the old pro wrestling fan adage applies: “If you saw it, you were meant to see it.”

“Tiffany King, a psychic medium”

I’m a big believer in second chances; first impressions can be misleading; we’re all capable of faulty perception, etc.—
But every once in a while someone just lays all their cards out on the table right away and you can 100% tell that they aren’t going to be worth fucking with.

That was fine; Miller didn’t play for the “Showtime” Indiana Pacers. It’s not that it’s a bad title on its own, it just clearly evokes the “Showtime”nickname while dodging actually saying it.

“Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

Should be titled Showtime. Calling it anything else with “-time” in the title just comes across as either cheap (don’t know if there might be trademark issues) or skittish (can’t have a show with the same name as a rival network) or both.

It was Lang’s first sound film, so that would seem to explain the silent-film-like dialogue. Apparently most of his experimentation with the new technology was in post-production (editing, sound design, etc.).

Oof but fair.

they saw the idea of reruns being TV stations benefitting from actors works over and over again without having to pay them
