I have to agree.  And he sneers through everything.  I want to see more of his range as well.

I don’t want to get all “Ask And It Is Given” about this, but if the message they’re choosing to send out is “Trump Is Invincible And Nothing’s Going To Change Anything So Why Bother” (which they sent out TWICE last night), then that message is going to stick and resonate.  It just reinforces the perceived

The first time I saw him on screen - before “The Hot Rock” - was in “Where’s Poppa?” - one of the most mortifying nude scenes of all time.

I know it’s way down the list, but seriously?  “How To Train Your Dragon 3"?

45 seasons and they still can’t figure out how to turn up a singer’s damn microphone?

I really thought you were going to finish with the original movie’s tagline... “What could possibly go worng?”

A couple of weeks ago the Academy announced that the 2020 Daytime Emmys will be awarded over THREE nights; I’m assuming that the Creative Crafts awards will be in the first two.  Which is okay - a show I work on won a pretty big CC award last year, and it was over four hours into the presentation, and most of the

Twenty years later, and they still drag out the single Bill Clinton joke they’ve got.

I can clearly say that “Perri” was the first movie I remember seeing in a theatre (the Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan). That Christmas I was given a “Perri” modeling kit, which was a plastic figure of a squirrel with packets of multicolored “fur,” and it was your job to actually glue this “fur” on in the

Slinky ‘30s Dame: “Oh, this? It’s just something I threw on.”

I was very pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t more violent than it is. BB was never shy about the gruesome and grotesque, and I feared that a movie off basic cable, with a TV-MA rating, was going to exploit that freedom.  As someone who’s kinda squeamish about graphic violence, I was grateful for the restraint.

I’m absolutely convinced that Steely Dan’s “Sign In Stranger” is a direct homage to the disturbingly surreal last chapter of “The Getaway.”

I still don’t know who they’re going to cast as Biden going forward. They can’t keep trotting Jason Sudeikis out on a weekly basis. That’s why I was surprised when they originally announced Shane Gillis was joining the cast, as they really don’t have any male impressionists right now, and haven’t since they let Jay

I only remember “The Gypsy Moths” for two things (other than I was deeply into John Frankenheimer movies in those days):  a skydiving accident involving pink smoke coming out of the victim’s shoes, and “Holy crap, Deborah Kerr is topless.”

“No, man, it’s the space between the notes that’s important, dig?”

If only the world could get along as this ice cream cone.. Billy Paul wouldn’t have to kill so many people.”

I guess what strikes me is the casting of him as a type that doesn’t match the times. It’s an election year. They can’t keep bringing Larry David and Jason Sudeikis back every week to play Sanders and Biden - so who’s going to take over those roles? Okay, so Bowen Yang can play Andrew Yang for a few weeks, but then

I trust John Carney.  I loved “Once,” “Begin Again,” and “Sing Street,” and if he’s the guy making this, I’m there.

That’s one of the best, Will. And it kept on going! In this instance, was this over the phone, or in person? I would think a couple of hours across a table with a storyteller like Bruce Dern would be even more unforgettable.

This saddens me. I don’t WANT to know What Happens Next. The decision appears to be purely about Profit and not about a story that needs to be told. And I’m sad because it tells me that Reese and Nicole, who championed this project and delivered some of the best work of their lives, feel that it’s necessary to go on
