That seems like the sole appeal there. The fact that they can’t even mention Hannibal seems like a fitting revenge for MGM refusing to allow any Silence characters in Bryan Fuller’s show.

It was a very sweet movie. It was refreshingly low stakes but very wonderfully built around a simple story of Charlie Brown just being naturally good to people and making an impact without realizing it. I remember loving how the girl he loved was faceless for the majority of the story, but we gradually see more and…

Oh hell, that was blue sky? Now I’m genuinely sad. That Peanuts movie was wonderful. It’s understandable that the estate wanted that as a one time movie (though they bizarrely were fine with the Apple show).

He also made A House With A Clock In The Walls, a perfectly fine, if unremarkable successful family movie that also starred Cate Blanchette, and seems to have been the movie that Kickstarted this Borderlands process.

It likely would have caused considerable embarssment and psychological stress to Wood, which very likely would have severely damaged her career on her own personal level that she may have found it hard to focus and work due to said shame, embarassment and psychological stress.

Apparently Josh Boone discussed him playing The Kid, but Manson couldn’t work the schedule and they needed up cutting the character.

My point here is a simple and not terribly funny comment of “This show is so bad, it’s so bad that literally the only thing they did right was not hire Manson for painfully mundane reasons because having Manson right now on top of how bad this show is would make a bad show even worse right now”.

In the end, the best thing this miniseries did was not ending up actually using Marilyn Manson despite initially announcing him as part of the cast.

It was such a relentless and bold thing to just toss in an insane cosmic nightmare that unlocks the whole mythology of the series while refusing to provide answers. I deeply love how the episode plays out normally for the first 5 or 10 minutes, seagues into “The nine inch nails” and then abruptly just throws the…

It makes me happy to know that Lynch is out there every day doing something. Maybe some days he’s smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee. Maybe other days he’s imagining some insane concept for a movie. But as long as he’s out there, I will be happy.

We got 18 episodes of Kyle McLachlan being incredible, we got the masterful part 8 (“Gotta light?”) and we got to see almost the entire original cast live their lives for likely the final time. I wouldn’t say the return was perfect, but I’ll be forever happy it exists. It effectively balances the scales again where…

Something about obsession leading to ruin I think was my reading at the time. The idea that the series was ultimately about the senseless death of an innocent woman that left a black hole that stretched across time, with the dogged detective seemingly resetting the world just to try to bring her back to life and in…

I bet the producers are really wishing they cashed in on that “call me by your name” sequel when they had the chance.

“Damn it Francis Ford Coppola! Your arty little film will never be a success! No one will even remember The Godfather existing in two months time!”

Nathan Rabin’s my year of flop articles used to categorize stuff like this as a fiasco. Because, to partially quote Elizabethtown, any idiot can make a failure, but a fiasco requires a particular brand of mad genus that has collapsed in on itself and created a black hole that you can’t look away from. Southland tales…

At long last the world will see Jeanne Garfarlo’s perplexing scenes where she shares dungeons and dragons lingo with the legless Kevin Smith war veteran. A lot of this film is like a fever nightmare. I would kill to have a live reaction of that Cannes audience.

Now that I’ve fully read this piece, it’s actually really depressing to read, because Kelly doesn’t speak like someone who is affectionately looking back at a crazy experience, he speaks like someone who is still obsessed with this borderline nonsensical film from 15 years ago. It’s remarkable in a slightly sad way…

It very much is a rare case where the strict studio cut of Donnie Darko is probably a good thing for someone like Kelly, because while he has a lot of...ideas, few of them are needed or amount to a coherent whole. He went so far as to publish graphic novel prequels for southland tales, all filled with complex yet…

As a stupid teenager, I was convinced southland tales would be a huge thing, to the extent that I immediately collected the three graphic novel prequels that were sporadically published. At the time it was a blast to follow along with the mythology and explore the mind of this supposedly brilliant creator. I had very…

By most accounts Danny Devito is a lovely person. Mara Wilson has spoken about Devito and his wife had nothing but support for her while her mother was going through cancer during the production of Matilda.
