Vanessa Hudgens cover of “Walk” WHEN

Well, as the Johansson lawsuit (and I think the whole Tenet debacle) shows, there is also a big financial incentive for actors/directors under current contract structures for their movies to screen theatrically. When they don’t, they don’t get as much money and the theaters obviously don’t get as much money. The…

Who?

Seconding everything here. 

This sounds very interesting (and Whitehead is a hell of a writer), but especially because he’s writing about crime in late 50s/early 60s Harlem and seems, based on the review here, to be focusing outside of Chester Himes’ territory -- a roughly middle-class guy instead of the extremely wild cops and crooks. I assume…

“Listening to Keith David talk for seven hours” is a pretty good selling point on its own. Although hopefully he can really use his instrument, I tried watching the Hemingway documentary and Peter Coyote was so damn muted and soporific I fell asleep 15 minutes in.

“And what Barrymore lacks in a consistent accent, she makes up for with a beautifully openhearted emotionality and a great face for the Renaissance.”

“Connie and JoJo proceed on an unwitting collision course with Ken (Paul Walter Hauser), a “loss-prevention” specialist working for a grocery store chain.”

Dammit, that sounds really good! Why doesn’t that exist instead of this thing?

That makes his role in No Country For Old Men have an extra kick as well.

You know what’s a great movie about an American badass traveling to Japan and dealing with fraught family dynamics and the yakuza? The Yakuza! Robert Mitchum and Ken Takakura own and the engagement with Japanese culture is very interesting, Mitchum and his fellow Americans are veterans of WWII and the occupation, so…

Isn’t this the plot of Osmosis Jones (if we read antibodies and viruses as enemy assassins)?

Oh, of course. Not even a debate.

Shouting at the devil is empirically more badass than merely hanging tough.

The Parent Trap is at least live-action and it’s an enduring premise, there’s plenty of room to give that to new people and see how they play it. It’s the switch from animation to live-action that really bugs me.

Not digging Disney as an 8-year-old? I guess you did have Kindergarten Cop to usher you into the world of PG-13 swears and violence. I’m a year or two younger than you and had more restrictions on what I could watch, but up to Lion King I saw all these in theaters and liked/loved them. It is funny though, a year later…

100 percent second on the dropping of Be Prepared as actual crime. 

Man, what the hell is a Fred? Kids these days/a decade ago, man, I dunno.

Ahahahahaha, but they did not count on The Dentist receiving help from Dr. Giggles.

Yeah, I grimaced at that line. *glares in Haunting of Hill House’s direction*
