Maybe there are a disproportionate amount of BP2 cast and crew birthdays in March, and he wants to give them all birthday cards with $100 in them.

Understood. Maybe there was no line? If I were him and there was even one person ahead of me and I’d have to wait and I’m in a rush, I’d go straight to an associate because I’m Ryan Fuckin’ Coogler and Wakanda Forever and I’d like some customer service.

Yeah, I want to stress that I’m not blaming Coogler for doing what he did. Maybe he didn’t know how to get $12K in cash either! I just found calling it a “reasonable request” odd.

My thoughts exactly. I’m in no position to ever have to do something like withdrawing $12K in cash, but going to the teller with a note just feels like a terrible approach, especially if you’re in a rush.  Someone rich tell me different, please.  The question is would the teller have made the same assumption that this…

For this movie, he is right. He’s at a point in his life where billionaire playboy makes no sense.

That picture is some boffo photorealism.  Respect.  

I don’t know what’s the point of your comment if you don’t suggest an alternative word. 

I mean—possibly? That’s probably already been done in some comic or other. These characters are reinvented with great regularity, sometimes including core personality traits and cornerstones of their backstory. They get different parents, different origin stories, different goals and motives, different names.…

“Bruce Wayne does not have the dual identity thing fully figured out yet in his early years as Batman and so lives as a weird recluse before eventually realizing that both doing the most good for Gotham and maximally protecting his secret identity requires him to embrace being a public figure” has been done quite a…

Dateline is a guilty pleasure in our house (good thing to fall asleep to) and we caught this one the first time around. Dateline must have been beside themselves at the way this story played out (and obviously were - first the podcast, now a featured series). Of course I can’t hear Morrison without envisioning Bill…

Moffat and Gatiss said from Day One that they weren’t going with Holmes/Watson in their adaptation and the fandom spent every minute after making up evidence that they were lying so that only the True Believers would be ready for the big reveal. The fandom baited itself. Because they were insane.

I’m also willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since the Sherlock fandom was fucking CLINICALLY INSANE about that ship, and Moffat basically dropped it all on Freeman and Cumberbatch with the amount of queerbaiting written into the series. The only show to ever rival that hysteria was Supernatural.

It seems like he’s growing as a human being since all the Sherlock criticism and his dismissal of Sherlock/Watson— although this is a case of an actual, real person who was gay vs. a fictional character who was originally written in a time where even if he was gay, they would never have been able to explicitly say so.

I…

Montana native chiming in here. I was actually surprised to learn that the movie wasn’t filmed in eastern Montana, the landscape looked so familiar to me. My father, who has lived there his entire life, said the same thing. New Zealand was an effective stand-in IMO, so even that aspect of Elliot’s criticism makes…

Man, wait until Sam Elliott finds out that Phil Burbank, at least has he appears in Thomas Savage’s novel, is based on a real person. 

“Yes, but only if they don’t gay it all up.”

And people get to respond when someone says something stupid and gross like this

I think there’s a difference between making jokes about a movie and humorlessly disparaging the message a movie’s trying to make.

Classy statement on Benedict Cumberbatch’s part. I wish all rebukes could be this eloquent.
