Yesterday I stumbled across a a scene from the new Wonder Woman movie, apparently the clip came from China, and I gasped at just how bad it was. Not bad in a ‘I don’t like superhero movies’ way, but bad in an inept way. It was kind’a embarrassing to watch. It had ‘We were contractually obligated to make this movie’…

Being compared to Marlon Brando is not considered much of a compliment these days. Brando had already started going down hill all the way back in 1962 during filming of ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’. 7/8th of his acting career he was considered erratic at best.

Spoiler alert. It ends with her spiraling into a sad drugged-up haze and accidentally drowning herself in the bath

Being from Maine with a French family name I contend that Langoliers should not be pronounced ‘lang-oh-LEERS’ but instead be pronounced ‘lan-GO-lee-ers’ with the stress place on the second syllable, rather line linoleum.

Pornhub has been in the process of cleaning up its act for quite awhile now. Ten years ago there was some really reprehensible stuff uploaded.

Peter Jackson is notorious for making absurdly long films. He does it because he’s a giant geek who was genuinely in love with his subject, whether it was King Kong or LoTH. Snyder, I don’t think he genuinely loves comic books. Something else is driving him to make these fascistic dystopian pseudo-epics.

The corset thing confused me, as everyone seems to be dressed in regency gowns that gather under the bosom. 

The UK has had several decades of color blind casting under it belt.

Its gotten so I cringe every time I see those two letters ‘YA’.

Please please please do not confuse le Carré with Tom Clancy. The difference is between a portrait artist and a cartoonist.

When I think ‘country music’ THIS is the generation I think about.

As long as the series pisses on the traitor’s grave I’m all for it. Candidate Reagan had financed the Iranian hostage crisis, bribing Iran into holding onto the hostages until his inauguration (which they did), then afterward stealing from America’s own warfighting arsenal and shipping tons of weapons to Revolutionary…

Looking back on generations of notorious celebrity woman abusers, would you say its the substance abuse that causes the woman abuse or would you say that its an innate personality flaw that leads to both the substance abuse and also the woman abuse?

Counterpoint: Kate Capshaw in The Temple of Doom.

It appears Dustin Hoffman levels of ‘method acting’ leads to Dustin Hoffman levels of assholery. Which movie was La Beouf involved in at the time? ‘The Tax Collector’? I bet he was acting just like his character. I understand LaBeouf wrote ‘Honey Boy’ while in rehab, which implies he has a significant substance abuse…

Well, Depp at least knows he won’t be the one to fall farthest in Hollywood. There will always be Jan Michael Vincent.

By all accounts AT&T is evil and ruthless.

I have a distant recollection of Ebert and... Roeper(?) saying in their review that Harry Potter was less a ‘film’ and more a ‘processed film product’, like a hot dog. Or words to that effect. It has been a long time.

With every new movie my conviction grows that American film makers are such shallow thinkers that they don’t have control of their own film’s ‘subtext’ messaging. I remember when ‘Parasite’ came out people gasped ‘Wow, a film with multiple layers of meaning all carefully shaped by the film maker!’ And then nobody in…

This has as much prestige as Niki Caro getting to direct that abomination of a Mulan film. Lets remember Disney films tend to have corporate fingerprints all over the story and production and they largely suck.
