I was stoked when Spielberg rebooted the Lincoln franchise

Pesci’s David Ferrie was a pretty colorful character, who actually pops up in Pesci’s latest film, The Irishman

TRIVIA: Ahmed Best and Sofia Coppola actually swapped Phantom Menace roles.

Yeah, Foster’s Angel was a total plot device. Really thought that would be something they would have corrected in Apocalypse, but nope.

I thought Nicholas Hoult was pretty miscast, and his makeup design has been pretty off, other than being blue and furry. He looks like a 1950s blueberrywolf.

Grammer was so spot on as Beast, one of the best comics-to-screen portrayals that doesn’t get enough love. Melodrama aside, I actually don’t mind Last Stand. Even Ben Foster was solid as Angel.

It’s pretty hard to make X-Men: The Last Stand look good, but damn if they didn’t pull it off!

I was really surprised to see how great Sally Struthers looked in Bird Box. This clears up a lot.

I heard a story first hand about one of her writers/producers (a relatively well known one) getting pushed out of the show (along with her husband, who was an editor or something) after they simply questioned whether it was prudent for Ellen to go back on the air during the 2008 writers strike. I forget the details,…

The first 2 seasons are interesting. The procedural formula is there, but then you forget about George Dzundza and Paul Sorvino, both of whom get shot at some point. Seriously, how many detectives actually get shot?

I think that was a reflection of NYC’s crackdown on crime at the time. I don’t think Southerlyn was meant to educated by McCoy and Branch, just that her views were in the minority in the room she was in. She has an actual arc of being jaded by the direction of the office and fired for not being on board. She was the…

Roache is is pretty great in Mandy with Nick Cage, which is pretty batshit crazy awesome.

Yes! Cutter was just McCoy turned up to 11 with a baseball bat. They tried so hard to go in different directions when replacing other cast, I never understood why they dropped a McCoy clone.

I thought L&O’s strength was sticking to the procedural. After George Dzundza departed, they managed to get some nice character beats in without shoving typical cop melodrama in your face. I recently watched some of the final season again and there are scenes of Van Buren’s home life - who cares!?

Rohm was a bit dead-eyed, but believable as a young ADA (her infamously tone deaf resignation convo aside). But Brisco & Green are my favorite detective duo, those were some classic episodes.

I had no idea since it was on SVU. That’s dumb.

The gulf between Law & Order and SVU is massive. SVU is such trash, and it’s success definitely pulled L&O down into the gutter during those last 2 seasons. Law & Order was so perfect, plenty of character without the personal melodrama.

same, and the sequel goes in a bananas direction rather than just remixing the first movie.

I thought that was the Honky Tonk Man. Or Guy Fieri.
